OUR HOSTS
At the heart of every CONNECT gathering is a dedicated host – a gentle guide and warm presence who holds space for each attendee with care, compassion, and authenticity.
Our hosts are more than facilitators; they are weavers of connection, creating a nurturing, non-judgmental environment where every person feels seen, heard, and valued.
With open hearts and grounded energy, they welcome you into a space of safety and belonging, supporting you as you explore movement, mindfulness, and meaningful conversation.
Whether you come to CONNECT for healing, for community, or simply to take a breath – our hosts are here to gently walk beside you on your journey.
Because at CONNECT, you're not just attending an event – you're coming home to a community that holds you, exactly as you are.
