What we’re about
#### A Free Online community for YOU!
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!

Topic: This post–Lion’s Gate (8/8) and Full Moon in Aquarius energy feels surprisingly stable.
Not a “static arrival” kind of stable, but a deep anchoring into what stability means in different areas of life.
I’m noticing a cascade of moments — decisions reached, clarity claimed, knowing settled into the body. And with that knowing, the next step emerges naturally. The movement forward is effortless.
There’s an ease here — a complexity simplified — that doesn’t need defending or debating. Whichever way you look at it, it stands true. And perhaps what’s most liberating is the absence of urgency to find the right angle, my right perspective, the justification or excuse, the reaching or grasping.
It can all exist, simultaneously. And it’s fine.
That’s the whole point — it’s fine.From this space, I step forward — not because forward means leaving something behind, but because forward is the natural pulse of creation. My movement in the field is powered simply by presence. Invisible, yes, but not infeltable. (I'm claiming that word!, btw). And!, it's inevitable, because I am more together than ever — and aware of it.
This week’s focus across my offerings and events is: Feeling Stuck Between the 3D Material and the Spiritual.This is the bridge work. The integration. The moment when your capacity to be in both worlds grows — not by abandoning one, but by embodying both.
The journey began with an activation that came through before I even knew what it was for…

- Navigating Polarities: Wisdom in the Tension Between Opposites w/Sophia CarmienLink visible for attendees

Connecting You with Your Self (www.connectingyouwithyourself.com) is a free online community focused on self-discovery. Intentional Living Circles are one of the events offered to you.
Topic - Navigating Polarities: Finding Wisdom in the Tension Between Opposites
Facilitator: Sophia Carmien - www.essentialwholeness.life
Description: Not every challenge is a problem to be solved. Some are polarities to be managed. In this workshop, we’ll explore how seemingly opposing forces (like structure and flexibility, independence and connection, action and rest) can form a dynamic system rather than a conflict with a “right” side. Instead of choosing one and eliminating the other, we’ll explore how to move wisely between both poles to access the strengths of each. During this workshop, you will be guided to identify a polarity that is causing problems in your life and create a practical map to help navigate these dynamics with more awareness and balance in everyday situations.
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.

Topic: Living Your Core Values
Facilitator: Sophia Carmien www.essentialwholeness.lifeDescription: Do you have a clear understanding of what truly matters to you? In your day-to-day life, are you truly living by your values or are you on autopilot, responding to what life is throwing at you or acting out habitual patterns? In this interactive workshop, you’ll reflect on what you care about most and identify your core values. Then, we’ll explore practical ways to bring those values to life. This is an opportunity to connect with what gives your life meaning and to begin aligning your actions more intentionally with who you really are.
