The Connect.
about the connect
We know from experience the power that comes from creating and connecting into community.
That is why we created the Connect as an opportunity for our members to engage with the Sit communities like-minded people all of whom are at stages in their Sit journey.
Some attendees are deeply embedded in the Practise program and attend the Connect as part of bookending each Practice period.
Others are recent graduates of the Shift course, or people who are not up for, or ready for, the deep dive into the Shift and the various programs and initiatives on offer.
“Life is difficult.
this is a great truth, one of the greatest truths.
It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it.
Once we truly know that life is difficult – once we truly understand and accept it – then life is no longer difficult.
Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters.”
― M. Scott Peck, The Road Less Travelled.
the Connect Framework
Sit together
Inhale, exhale & connect
Come together as a group at and start with a 20 minute Sit.
Be reminded of the power of this practice, and of doing it with others.
Build capacity together
Breathwork & cold water immersion
Be supported to lean into new (or familiar) practices,
which build capacity, extend resilience, and sustain vitality.
Whether you want to dip your toe, or jump headfirst,
go at your own pace and discover what works.
Move together
Stretch, strengthen, condition.
Something powerful happens when we move together.
The movement session is designed so you can choose a level that is comfortable for you.
Different options and intensity levels are available, all underpinned by the spirit of enjoyment, connection and new experiences.
Learn together
Share and gain knowledge & insights
Connect together
Meet others new and old – in community
Deepening relationships & opportunities
There is something deeply satisfying about coming together,
reforging old relationships and creating new ones.
There is something powerful about doing the work with like-minded people, looking for opportunities that overlap and ways to support one another.
As part of the time we spend together, we ensure an opportunity for social connection over a coffee and light brunch (supplied by us) where those connections can be explored.
