WIRED FOR CONNECTION
cultivating connection || grounding relationships
Connection informs our every thought, feeling and action.
Connection is the base of belonging.
Belonging is survival.
This is a space where we are learning to breathe ourselves through & beyond fear based programming & forgive into love. Together we are reflecting connection & teaching ourselves how to Safely shift into belonging.
Welcome!
The presence &/or absence of Safety has a direct effect on our capacity for connection & belonging.
Awareness of Safety & Lack-of-Safety is integral to the work of cultivating connective relationships with ourselves & those we love. This is why we've developed The Safety Wheel™.
