Authentic Connections - Soul Space Connection Sharing Circle

Come and connect with a group of like-minded souls as we explore and practice the theme of authentic connections with our selves and each other!

Soul Space Circle is space to connect and share from an open heart with a group of like minded souls. A space to let go of all the stories and any dramas of the day and unwind for a couple of hours or so with presence not pretence. It's a space to open your mind to a new perspective and connect with your soul and the souls of other like-minded beings as we tune into our authenticiy and intuition.

We meet once a month and explore a different theme each time, usually on the 2nd Wednesday.

Theme: Authentic Connections

The evening is divided into 3 main parts:

1. Sharing of inspirational Self Love cards & Beyond Conditioning cards

2. Meditation - in 2 parts:

(i) Body Scan

(ii) Guided Meditation intuitively based on the theme

3.Pairing / Connection exercises- asking & responding to questions based on the theme, usually using the bebefit of hindsight, and gaining insights through your reflection in others

Plus: bonus Authentic Connections exercise

In the last session we opened the door to our heart and in this session we will be delving deeper and exploring the power of authentic connections. I'll be inviting you to tap deep within yourself and with others and allow yourself to be vulnerable in an authentic way that is not attached to any stories.

These are the types of questions we will be exploring in the space:

What is authenticity? What does it mean to be authentic? What does it mean to be unauthentic? What does authenic connection mean to you? We will be exploring this theme in the spiritual context.

Honestly is Not Enough

How does being authentic go much deeper than being honest?

Authentic Communications

How do you communicate with yourself? How do you communicate with others? Do you say what you mean and mean what you say or do you sugar coat the truth for fear of offending others or fear of being judged by others?

Authentic Actions

Authenticity isn’t just a state of being, it’s a state of doing as well. Why do you do what you do? Are your actions based on what feels true for you or do you prefer to stay in the comfort zone of what’s not true for you?

Are your actions be based on what feels true for you or are your actions based on what you think others might think is true for you?

Raw Authenticity

When was the last time you had a heart to heart with yourself that was so raw only your inner truth and guidance could speak to you?

Have you ever allowed yourself to drop so deep into your heart from a space of raw authenticity that you didnt even know you were there? Whether by yourself (eg in the shower) or in the presence of others?

Authentic Connections

Have you ever felt a deep connection at the soul level with someone you have never met before or barely know (and who may be very different to you externally yet there's a strong resonance within) compared to someone you may know very well, perhaps most of your life?

Authentic Living

What does it mean to be living authentically? Can you imagine what that would be like and how does it compare with your current reality? What could you do differently to experience authentic living for yourself and others?

There are no right or wrong answers, only what feels true for you in each moment.

You can expect to gain greater awareness and insights through the reflections of others and your self.

“It was a lovely evening of relaxation, mindfulness, contemplation and discovery of insights.I am grateful and had a great night’s sleep following the session and woke up feeling content.” - Sandra

"Maria has set up a very safe space with a focus on meditation and connection in the group of like minded others. She uses her wisdom and knowledge to lead a body scan to hone into the body with a guided meditation to link to body wisdoms. She provides Self Love cards to help identify your feelings at the time and opportunity is given to feedback on this powerful tool. A second meditation is offered based on a theme in the session. The opportunity is also given to discuss this in pairs or as a group to get clarity on these. Maria provides heartfelt sessions to use the tools to know ourselves better in this busy, crazy time.” - Jill

"Recently I enjoyed a beautiful evening at the Soul Space Circle facilitated by the wonderful Maria Lambi.
I've known Maria since 2011 and have watched her devotion to truly knowing herself and diving deep through different modalities.
The space Maria held was safe and open to explore myself and deepen my awareness. I recommend this event to anyone wanting to be held in compassionate listening to know themselves and remove the layers of who they are not.
Thank you Maria for the amazing commitment to yourself and others that you have."
