Connection Fellowship

This Sunday's Connection Fellowship will revisit all the skills we learned in the past three gatherings. Facilitated by Roman Borochin & Anna Tukachinskaya, there will be a strong focus on the embodied practice. You did not have to have attended the past gatherings to participate. You are invited to build a more compassionate, and mindful culture of relating with your friends, communities, partnerships, and yourself. You will be offered educational content, and trauma-informed experiential practice to understand and embody the core skills of effective listening and communication. Connection Fellowship aims to elevate how we show up for ourselves and each other through education, conversation, and embodied practice. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/connection-fellowship-tickets-1373970696339 Sunday, May 25th, 2025 - Doors open at 12pm. - Laughter Yoga at 12:30pm. - Workshop 1pm - 4pm.
