# 🌟 Sacred Connections: A Community for Presence, Expression and Introspection 🌟 *** ## 🌿 What to Expect ✨ A space for authentic connection, deep conversations, and self-awareness. 💛 Designed to cultivate empathy, presence, introspection and meaningful human interaction. 🌀 A mix of interactive exercises, guided discussions, and embodiment practices. *** ## 🔥 Core Elements 👂 **Active Listening & Presence** – Learn to be fully present with yourself & others. 💬 **Expressive & Reflective Exercises** – Engage in structured prompts for vulnerability & insight. 🧘 **Body-Based Awareness** – Explore non-verbal connection & somatic experiences. We work a lot with voice. 💞 **Empathy & Relating Dynamics** – Practice seeing & being seen without judgment. 👐 **Group & Partner Work** – From one-on-one conversations to full-group dynamics. *** ## 🌎 The Atmosphere & Our Vision 📖 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... 🌱 Sessions now follow a structured yet playful thematic rotation, giving each meetup its own flavor while still contributing to a larger journey. 🛡️ Emphasizes a safe, consensual, non-judgmental environment for exploration & growth. 🏡 **Building Community** – We are creating a strong, vibrant “Third Place” in Málaga: a tribe/family where we grow together, check in with familiar faces, and build trust, understanding, and meaningful connection. 💪 **Think of Sacred Connections as a gym for the soul.** People often work out to stay physically fit, but what about training the 🧠 mind, nurturing the ❤️ heart, or finding a deeper 🌍 sense of direction? That’s where Sacred Connections comes in. Through weekly meetups, we create a steady journey of growth—helping you discover more about yourself and your place in the world, one session at a time. *** ## 💫 Our Themed Nights Here’s how our meetups are currently structured—each session offers something unique: 1. **Topic Exploration Circle** – 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** – Explore presence-based practices and Authentic Relating exercises that invite openness, vulnerability, and deeper human connection. 3. **Sound & Spirit** – A night dedicated to activating your voice, exploring sound, mantra chanting, and song circles to awaken presence and creative expression. 4. **Reflection & Renewal** – 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 you’ve grown, what feels aligned, and renew your intentions for the path ahead. A perfect moment to pause, integrate, and recharge. *** ## 📅 Upcoming Dates & Themes * **September 29, 2025** – Topic Exploration Circle: **Boundaries** * **October 6, 2025** – Authentic Connections * **October 13, 2025** – Sound & Spirit * **October 20, 2025** – Reflection & Renewal * **October 27, 2025** – Topic Exploration Circle: **Authentic Expression** * **November 3, 2025** – Authentic Connections * **November 10, 2025** – Sound & Spirit * **November 17, 2025** – Reflection & Renewal * **November 24, 2025** – Topic Exploration Circle: **Navigating Difficult Conversations** * **December 1, 2025** – Authentic Connections * **December 8, 2025** – Sound & Spirit * **December 15, 2025** – Reflection & Renewal *** ## 🌍 Language & Accessibility 🗣️ Spanish speakers are welcome!
