What to expect:
“Either you stand inside your story and own it, or you stand outside your story and hustle for your worthiness” ~ Brene Brown
The stories we create about ourselves and others, reveal everything we need to know in order to arrive in a space of self-understanding and self-acceptance. So often we create suffering by telling and re-telling ourselves unhelpful tales about who we are, or creating similar stories about the world around us.
In this deeply connecting event we will explore group and pairs practices to shine the warm light of awareness on where these stories come from, how they show up in our lives and how we can rewrite them.
This promises to be a night of deep connection and self-discovery. We will explore our deeper truths through pairs and small group practices and rituals and finish the evening with a powerful release burning ritual.
Who is this for?
Whether you are single or in a relationship, you can gain from this sacred space. This space is specifically to bridge the gap between opposites. Open to all depths & levels of experience, we welcome diversity. Men, women, LGBTQIA+ are welcome in this space.
Intention of the space:
Sacred Connection Circles is a safe and sacred space to establish mutual trust, increase awareness, gain understanding, recognise patterns & heal relational wounds. Through the exchange of open, authentic sharing & honest reflections we aim to normalise taboo topics, dispel myths and iron out assumptions & misperceptions. Bridging the gap and forming healthier ways of relating.
This is an effort to cleanse the space in between, to speak to the unspoken. The power of both being witnessed and holding space, creates new foundations for safety. We co-create this safe holding by reaching beyond blame, projection, disconnect & perpetual wounding and practising deep listening, conscious communication, presence & empathy. Meeting each other in vulnerability and sharing deeply, without the overriding fear of being misunderstood, shamed or rejected. Creating new channels of communication and connection for the greater good of all.

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
