Connected Y.O.U hosts a women's circle held at an undisclosed location in London once a month. Join us for an afternoon of connection, personal development and friendship.

Connected Y.O.U is founded by Wellbeing and Life Coach Essi Auguste Virtanen. Her vision is to bring women and womxn together to feel seen and heard in whatever they may be experiencing and leave our events feeling uplifted and energised. Essi creates space for people to share their stories in a safe environment where they can make long-lasting connections.

Our aim is to create a community for people to gather, grow and connect - within, with each other and even something higher.

Therefore, our mission is to create a space both in person and online for human beings to become holistically connected YOU - physically, psychologically, emotionally and spiritually.

We hold monthly events - one in person in London and one globally online.

THEME OF THE MONTH: SETTING BOUNDARIES AND SAYING NO AS SELF-LOVE

Every month we will have a different theme and this month we will focus on setting boundaries and learning to say no with confidence. In this session, you will learn what boundary setting is and have space to assess where you are on your boundary setting journey and how you can improve to feel more connected with yourself and improve your wellbeing.

What you can expect during the meetup:

11am - Arrival and saying hellos

11:30am - Educational content led by Essi:

• What is boundary setting from a scientific angle?
• Which boundaries do you feel confident with?
• Which part of your life do you need to improve boundary setting?
• How can I say no more confidently?

12pm - Circle discussions and activity:

• How does boundary setting look like in your life and what is your relationship with it?
• Role play practicing saying no and embodying the feelings surrounding it

1:30pm - Meditation to connect within:

We will end the session with a self-love meditation led by one of our team members, Positive Psychology Consultant, Coach & Trainer Tamara Judge.

1:45 pm - Open networking and connecting

We will reveal the exact location in London closer to the date.

We welcome all women and womxn. Please bring a friend if you know someone who could use a space like this - the more the merrier! However, everyone, including your guests, needs to have signed up to get a ticket.

ABOUT THE HOST

Essi is a Wellbeing and Life Coach and holds a BA in Journalism and MSc in Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology. She brings individuals together to connect with their bodies, hearts, minds and souls to optimize their wellbeing holistically.

As a life coach, Essi understands the struggles of bereavement, losing a job, a breakup and other forms of adversity that life presents. She specializes in holding space for individuals to heal through heartbreaks and challenges of life and to turn their pain into power, inner peace and purpose.

With heart as the inner guide, Essi believes our heartbreaks in life are our greatest teachers.

"If we can come together and connect through our heartbreaks, loss and pain, we can grow through it as well. As we share our gifts and triumphs - we can then open our hearts to change the relationship we have with ourselves, with each other and something higher."
