I first joined Conscious Connections several years ago as a participant, and found a community of people who share in a way that I had not experienced in a group before. I was feeling lost at the time, and in search of meaningful community.
I'm grateful to have been with the same group since then, and it fills me up each week. Our group does not have topics. We share where we are at right now, whatever that may be. For me, there is a feeling of sacredness in the experience of being together in this way. We share deeply of our life stories, or simply hold space for each other without judgement.
Besides seeking meaningful connections, I also appreciate artistic outlets, especially nature photography, playing the fiddle, singing, and social dance. I delight in both the celebration of communal joy, and in the sense of wonder that sometimes just appears within, or is shared along the way.
