Testimonials
“Sacred Connection Circles for me was a brilliant opportunity to step out of my comfort zone, challenge my mindset and thought patterns and get surprised by deeply listening to other participants and what challenges they are facing and recognising myself in them. After just attending once I feel I have already learned a lot about how to relate to other men and women and that has already had an incredibly positive impact on my day to day life.”

“One can’t really adequately describe the power of these circles unless you have been present during them. But I’ll try – It’s a space for growth, connection, love and understanding. It’s so beautiful to be vulnerable to your emotions and to unlock your inner turmoils that may be present in your life. It’s a place for healing. What have you got to lose?”
“I’ve never felt so held and understood by the feminine.”
“I have now sat in three Sacred Connection Circles and my heart has been blown wide open each time in the most profound and beautiful way. Even though I am ‘zooming’ in from thousands of kilometres away, the level of connection I feel with each person in this online space truly astounds me….. again and again. It feels like through the combination of technology mixed in with the inspired dreams of truly heart led leaders; finally, us mere mortals are able to achieve what only Spirit could previously accomplish!! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Cine and Paul.”
“My first circle, I absolutely felt embraced and accepted for who I am. The group was loving and accepting and open. The activities and group engagement opened the door to connection and unity of like minded souls. I look forward to attending many more and embracing the Soul Tribe. Light and Love Kyle.”
“Thank you for holding such an amazing, deep space for connection and healing. This circle touched a really deep space for me personally and allowed me to experience deep relating with people from the other gender, in a way that was safe and allowed me to express myself and explore different parts of my identity. Thank you Cine and team for creating such a strong and clear container for this work, you really have my respect.”
“In a world of fear, restriction, alienation, the Sacred Connection Circle calls us back to our true human nature of love, joy and well being. Trusting, listening and connecting with each other with love and respect …..honouring the sacredness of our humanity is lacking in our culture. I think this is very important work and bless you for facilitating.”
“Cine and the team create a loving, safe, and potent container in which to explore the deepest parts of us. We are invited to share ourselves via accessible prompts and rituals, and I always come out of the sessions feeling more connected, more joyful, and more in love with life.”
“My name is Matt, and I met Cine through attending her advertised mixed-gender Sacred Connecting Circle on the Northern Rivers of New South Wales. The different processes carried out were highly varied in content, one to one and larger groupings, and had relevant sociological gender issues embedded. As the only out LGBTQI+ member of the event, I felt welcomed, appreciated, acknowledged, safe, and valued. I encourage people of any culture and ethnicity, gender and sexuality, adult age, spirituality, political persuasion, and social class to jump into the unknown of these sacred connecting evenings. With openness and transparency, willingness to learn, and a balance of giving and receiving, my participation at such an event is exquisitely healing. Cine, as facilitator and leader, is beautifully gentle, compassionate and caring, understanding, a clear communicator, and stimulated a rich personal honesty when I shared. The theme of our night was empathy, and as such, we really did walk in the shoes of another by mirroring back our partner’s share. An antithesis of empathy, shame, was also worked with. The light and shade enabled a holistic coverage of what disrupts our growth, but ultimately, what cultivates positive, transformative healing. I encourage those going to future events (I know I will), to be kind, respectful, open, and also, clear with your boundaries. I felt spiritually connected in sacred ways to every participant in the group. Much gratitude and thank you to Cine for bringing this authentic connection to my reality. With joy, peace, and love, Mippy” ~ Matt
