Wellbeing through authentic connection workshop on 25 June 2021

Join us for a relational meditation that nourishes through presence, shared vulnerability and gratitude. 

For all animal care professionals, veterinarians, managers, directors, students and researchers working with and for animals and or conservation.

You'll learn and practice some powerful, practical tools for connection. We'll sink into presence, explore the connecting and teach you some of our favourite relational meditation and gratitude practices.

You’ll walk away with some key distinctions that can bring more depth and aliveness to your experience of connecting with your partner, friends, family or with people at work.

You’ll experience the effect that this way of relating has on yourself and on others, while gaining awareness of the shift in your connections: from flatness to depth and fullness, from superficial to meaningful and real.

Showing up with what is and being seen in that is extremely nourishing as you can be just who you are. Not only will you receive that gift, but you’ll also be able to offer this gift of being deeply seen to others. We’ll show you how to support someone in showing up in their authenticity, whether it’s vulnerable or in their utmost power and strength.

You’ll leave this workshop with a deeper connection to Self, others and to life, plus feeling more aliveness. You’ll have a few relational tools at hand to implement in your relationships right away and have a sense of how authentic connections can support your wellbeing.

We hope to see you there!

"Wellbeing through authentic connection! My first exposure to this with Ellen Waenink and Sabrina Brando was relaxing and delightful, and I came away with a new Icelandic friend! So I will return for the next session! - Lynette, USA

"I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from the workshop facilitated by Sabrina and Ellen. After isolating myself for the past 14 months due to Covid, I really had to push myself to join this discussion. I had become very comfortable with my own company. Needless to say, I was completely surprised when everything I learned and experienced in the 3-hour course was helpful and very useful. I remembered how much I enjoyed connecting with others and how we nourish each other with kindness and understanding. I highly recommend this workshop! It is a wonderful gateway to our post-pandemic world." - Patricia, USA

"I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop! It was amazing to meet so many like-minded people, discuss such important and relevant topics and see how these can be implemented in one’s daily life. It does its title justice. I’m hoping we will stay connected!" - Audrey, Austria

"This workshop revealed to me that through personal stories (storytellings) the personality and travelogue of each person who is special in their own way are revealed. At the very beginning of the workshop, no one knew or expected what it was about and how to connect with each other. Then spontaneously we all opened up and connected through diverse stories and through deep glances among ourselves. In addition, reactions to certain incredible experiences were visible, as well as the connection between human and animals, which is essential for the self-awareness and coexistence of human and nature." - Renato, Croatia
