Connecting You with Your Self, (CYWY) a free online community formed in 2006 offering a time and place to learn and grow within a community. Learn more about who we are and what we offer at www.connectingyouwithyourself.com.
"When we have a solid relationship with ourselves, we can confidently go after the life we desire. The opinions, and judgments of other people become irrelevant. Life opens up in ways we haven't even imagined possible. New people and opportunities present themselves. Magic unfolds."
CYWY events are free and accessible via Zoom. Opportunities include yoga, Intentional Living Circles, Empowered Living Chats, a book study, a Relationship Support Group, and a "Good" Grief Support Group.
CYWY also has many recorded events that you can view on Connecting You with Your Self - YouTube
CYWY has two Facebook groups
https://www.facebook.com/groups/connectingyouwithyourself
and
https://www.facebook.com/groups/EnneagramType2/
"The most important relationship you will ever have is with yourself. All other relationships will be reflected by it. You can't have a healthy relationship with anyone else until you have a successful relationship with yourself."
See you on Zoom!

The Breath That KnowsA Harmonic Breath Series for Nervous System Coherence
Description:
Step into a field of resonance where your body remembers what the mind cannot explain.
“The Breath That Knows” is an ongoing energy alignment series dedicated to helping you develop embodied coherence through guided breath, subtle awareness, and energetic stabilization. Each session invites your nervous system to harmonize with what is already true—beneath tension, beyond thought.What to Expect:
- Gentle group attunement through harmonic-informed breath
- Nervous system recalibration without force
- Deep stillness, presence, and body-centered insight
- Space to reflect and integrate in a supportive field
This isn’t performance or breathwork as exertion—this is energetic listening through breath, revealing the intelligence already within you.
No prior experience required. Just bring yourself and your breath.Hosted in an intimate, grounded setting.
You’ll leave each session clearer, lighter, and more you.Note on arriving late:
I allow a 5–7 minute settling-in window at the start. After that, the space closes to new arrivals (especially if I don't recognize your name) to honor the group’s focus. Thank you for respecting the container and everyone present.
I see you.
I celebrate you.To receive Anca's weekly message, contact her directly or go to www.connectingyouwithyourself.com, calendar of events tab.

•OnlineHow we move through the World: Enneagram Stances
OnlineAn Intentional Living Circle
A Connecting You with Your Self Event w/Sophia CarmienHow We Move Through the World: Enneagram Stances
The Enneagram’s Hornevian triads (or stances) show three ways of
moving through the world: toward, against, and away. Explore how each type expresses its stance and how awareness of these patterns can bring insight to the ways we connect, assert, and create space in relationships.Description: Each Enneagram type moves through the world in a characteristic way, shaped by underlying needs for connection, autonomy, and safety. The Hornevian triads, or Stances, describe these three distinct approaches to relating. Some of us tend to move toward others to gain approval or connection, some move against to assert ourselves and influence outcomes, and others move away to maintain independence and space.
In this session, we will explore how each stance expresses itself and how the types within each group differ in motivation and expression. You will look at the strengths and limitations of your habitual stance and how it shapes your approach to getting needs met. We will also consider what happens when different stances interact, especially in moments of tension or misunderstanding. Through guided reflection and conversation, you will have the opportunity to dig into your own patterns of movement, get insight into how others show up, and experiment with new ways of relating.
Bio: Sophia Carmien is an Enneagram teacher and guide who helps people reconnect with their deeper selves by bringing awareness to inner patterns and expanding what’s possible. After experiencing profound transformation through her own work with the Enneagram, she now shares this tool of ancient wisdom with others. Through teaching, workshops, and one-on-one work, she supports the shift from habitual reactivity to a life of freedom and empowered authenticity.
