# đ Sacred Connections: A Community for Presence, Expression and Introspection đ *** ## đż What to Expect âš A space for authentic connection, deep conversations, and self-awareness. đ Designed to cultivate empathy, presence, introspection and meaningful human interaction. đ A mix of interactive exercises, guided discussions, and embodiment practices. *** ## đ„ Core Elements đ **Active Listening & Presence** â Learn to be fully present with yourself & others. đŹ **Expressive & Reflective Exercises** â Engage in structured prompts for vulnerability & insight. đ§ **Body-Based Awareness** â Explore non-verbal connection & somatic experiences. We work a lot with voice. đ **Empathy & Relating Dynamics** â Practice seeing & being seen without judgment. đ **Group & Partner Work** â From one-on-one conversations to full-group dynamics. *** ## đ The Atmosphere & Our Vision đ Inspired by philosophy, psychology, and conscious communication. We draw on ideas from family constellations, the Authentic Relating movement, non-violent communication, circling, and countless books, conversations, workshops, life experience & online resources etc... đ± Sessions now follow a structured yet playful thematic rotation, giving each meetup its own flavor while still contributing to a larger journey. đĄïž Emphasizes a safe, consensual, non-judgmental environment for exploration & growth. đĄ **Building Community** â We are creating a strong, vibrant âThird Placeâ in MĂĄlaga: a tribe/family where we grow together, check in with familiar faces, and build trust, understanding, and meaningful connection. đȘ **Think of Sacred Connections as a gym for the soul.** People often work out to stay physically fit, but what about training the đ§ mind, nurturing the â€ïž heart, or finding a deeper đ sense of direction? Thatâs where Sacred Connections comes in. Through weekly meetups, we create a steady journey of growthâhelping you discover more about yourself and your place in the world, one session at a time. *** ## đ« Our Themed Nights Hereâs how our meetups are currently structuredâeach session offers something unique: 1. **Topic Exploration Circle** â Dive into a specific theme as a group and engage in different facilitated exercises. Slow down, practice active listening, and reflect together through honest sharing. 2. **Authentic Connections** â Explore presence-based practices and Authentic Relating exercises that invite openness, vulnerability, and deeper human connection. 3. **Sound & Spirit** â A night dedicated to activating your voice, exploring sound, mantra chanting, and song circles to awaken presence and creative expression. 4. **Reflection & Renewal** â A gentle, grounding session to check in on your life and any insights or progress from **previous Topic Exploration Circles, Authentic Connections nights, or Sound & Spirit evenings**. Reflect on where youâve grown, what feels aligned, and renew your intentions for the path ahead. A perfect moment to pause, integrate, and recharge. *** ## đ Upcoming Dates & Themes * **September 29, 2025** â Topic Exploration Circle: **Boundaries** * **October 6, 2025** â Authentic Connections * **October 13, 2025** â Sound & Spirit * **October 20, 2025** â Reflection & Renewal * **October 27, 2025** â Topic Exploration Circle: **Authentic Expression** * **November 3, 2025** â Authentic Connections * **November 10, 2025** â Sound & Spirit * **November 17, 2025** â Reflection & Renewal * **November 24, 2025** â Topic Exploration Circle: **Navigating Difficult Conversations** * **December 1, 2025** â Authentic Connections * **December 8, 2025** â Sound & Spirit * **December 15, 2025** â Reflection & Renewal *** ## đ Language & Accessibility đŁïž Spanish speakers are welcome!
