Sacred Connection Circles: Shining the Light on Needs & Desires
Event Information
About this Event
Intention:
To establish mutual trust, increase awareness, gain understanding, recognise patterns & heal relational wounds - by dispelling myths and misperceptions through open, authentic sharing, honest reflections and addressing taboo topics.
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 will co-create this safe holding by reaching beyond blame, projection, disconnect & perpetual wounding and practice deep listening, conscious communication, a strong empathic presence & refrain from personalising another person's experience. 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.
Your Commitment:
Openness
Willingness
Honesty
Transparency
Empathy
Radical Self Responsibility
Commitment to personal growth
Integrity - respecting confidentiality
What to expect?
This will be our seventh Sacred Connection Circle. The prior Circles have all held their own unique form & magic, each one a co-creation formed by the combination of people and the practices we entered together. They have all been deep, expansive and healing sacred spaces, in which beautiful connections have been formed & cultivated.
- Authentic & Empowered Connection
- Fears & blocks to expressing needs & desires
- Knowing and expressing your Needs & Desires
- Superficial desires vs Deeper Desires
For this event, we will be coming together to focus our combined intention on “bridging the gap” through shining the light on our needs & desires. Knowing and expressing our needs is vital for healthy relating. Unlocking and expressing our desires is vital for fulfilment. Yet there is still a tenderness, a hesitation, a fear around stepping into personal empowerment and expressing from this space of sovereignty.
Together, we will create a platform for exploration of our own needs & desires, as well as, witnessing and holding space for others to unearth their deeper yearnings. We will meet each other through experimentation of expressing our deeper truths through group sharing and conscious practices.
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. This can refer to men & women, it also applies to those that associate with being transgender or non-binary.

Testimonials
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

There are very few moments in life where I have felt thoroughly safe, supported, heard, enjoyed, respected, honoured and loved by people I hardly know. Sacred connection circle created this space. Big love
~ Stuart A
It’s been outstandingly amazing for me, exactly what I needed at the time I needed it, supported and safe space creates amazing things to blossom out of me and evolve.
This was a great experience with well balanced facilitation. I felt comfortable from the beginning of the evening and challenged but lighter by the end.
