Individual sessions
Connection as a practice

Discover how to reconnect with your own rhythm, with others, and with what matters most to you

Connection comes naturally to all of us.

Yet in the rush of everyday life, we often lose touch with it.
We forget how to slow down, how to be present. With ourselves and with each other.

These sessions offer a simple, human space to pause and reconnect.
To come back into the body, into attention, and into real contact with the people around you.

Through guided group practices, you’ll explore hands-on ways of listening, communicating, and relating, not as ideas, but as lived experiences you can take into daily life.

Think of it as a gym for presence and reconnection:
a place to practice awareness, authenticity, and meeting others with a little more ease.

SEE UPCOMING EVENTS

You might enjoy these sessions if

· you’re curious about slowing down · you like learning through experience · you appreciate structure with a human touch · you want to explore listening, communication, and relating simply

There’s no right way to show up. Just come as you are, and participate in your own way.

This is:

  • A facilitated group space for practicing connection skills

  • Structured, but light and flexible

  • Respectful of boundaries and personal pace

  • Rooted in real-life situations, not abstract theory

This is not:

  • Group therapy

  • A place where you’re expected to disclose personal trauma

  • A performance or sharing competition

  • A “fix yourself” environment

People often ask: “But… what happens exactly?”

The sessions are facilitated and gently structured, while leaving space for what naturally unfolds.

We work with:

  • Guided group and partner exercises

  • Clear invitations, with freedom to opt in or out

  • Moments of interaction, reflection, and quiet presence

There’s no pressure to share personal stories, nor to be deep!
Everything is an invitation, nothing is a requirement.

The focus is not on talking about connection, but on experiencing it directly.

You might:

* Practice expressing something honestly, and noticing how it lands
* Experience what it’s like to really be listened to
* Explore boundaries in a gentle, embodied way
* Notice patterns you bring into everyday interactions

What we practice together

These sessions are designed to offer more than a pleasant experience.

You’ll leave with practical tools you can use in everyday life, simple practices that support awareness, empathy, and ease in real interactions.

Through practice, you learn by doing: listening, speaking, and relating in ways that feel natural and genuine. Over time, these practices can become part of how you show up, in relationships, daily moments, and at work.

The aim is simple: to make presence and connection something you can practice anywhere, not just in the workshop room.

——— How people often describe the experience ———

Everyone’s experience is different, but many people leave feeling:

  • More grounded and settled

  • A clearer sense of themselves in relation to others

  • Calmly connected to others

  • With more ease in social interaction

  • Gently energized rather than drained

Many are surprised by how simple the practices are, and how much they shift the quality of connection.

  • "The Re-Connect workshop created such a welcoming space to truly connect with others. It was thoughtfully executed and held with so much care by Mihaela, making it feel easy to open up, listen deeply, and share authentically. I left feeling seen, grounded, and more connected, both to myself and to the group."

    -Patrizia, workshop participant

  • “I participated in Reconnect Playground as I was looking for an experience on which I could meet and connect with people on a deeper level. If you are tired of small talk and superficial connections, I encourage you to dive into the magic of the world that Mihaela has been so passionately creating: You will exit feeling refreshed, more in touch with yourself, and perhaps even with real connections after the event.”

    -Carlos, workshop participant

  • "I found the workshop to be a really interesting experience. The exercises gently guided me to identify things that have been making me uncomfortable, and by the end I had a much clearer sense of the areas within myself that I want to work on. The first exercises helped me disconnect and fully arrive in the space, and the group dynamics created a strong feeling of psychological safety, which made it easier to explore what was actually going on in my head."

    -Camilo, workshop participant

About the facilitator

I’m Mihaela, and I host these sessions because connection has been one of my deepest curiosities.

Over the years, I’ve explored different ways of relating, through facilitation, embodied practices, and simply being in many group spaces myself. What continues to interest me is how much can shift when we slow down, pay attention, and meet each other a little more honestly.

In these sessions, my role is to hold a clear and supportive structure, offer simple practices, and take care of the group space. I’m not here to tell you how to be. I’m here to create the conditions where connection can be explored safely and naturally.

I care about spaces that feel human, grounded, and respectful of different rhythms and boundaries. That’s the quality I aim to bring into every session.

Frequent asked questions

  • These workshops are fully practical and hands-on! no lectures, no theory, no fluff. Instead of just talking about ideas, you’ll actively practice exercises that teach you how to communicate clearly, pay attention to your body and emotions, and connect with others. Everything we do is grounded in real experience, so what you practice in the workshop is something you can actually use in your everyday life, whether it’s at work, with friends, or at home.

  • In each session, you’ll take part in guided exercises that help you reconnect with yourself and others. This might include a mix of:

    • Awareness practices, such as noticing thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations in the moment.

    • Mindful movement, which can be small stretches, posture awareness, or gentle exercises to notice how your body feels.

    • Paired speaking and listening exercises, where you practice sharing something meaningful while the other person listens fully.

    All exercises are simple, practical, and accessible,  designed so you can experience the feeling of presence and connection directly, without any prior experience.

  • One example is a listening and speaking practice from authentic relating. You’ll pair up with someone, share something personal or meaningful, while the other person listens fully without interrupting or giving advice. Afterward, you reflect on what it felt like to be heard and to listen deeply. It may sound simple on paper, but in practice it creates a strong sense of connection and awareness.

    Other exercises could include gentle mindful movement to notice tension in the body, or exercises to observe your thoughts and emotions in the moment.

    Kindly check the description of events, to get an idea of what themes can be explored during a session :)

  • Each session gives you practical skills that you can apply outside the workshop, in your daily life, in moments when things feel tense, overwhelming and disconnected. For example:

    • A short breathing exercise to stay calm when you miss the U-Bahn or feel rushed.

    • A grounding practice to help you center yourself before handling something stressful — like bureaucracy or an unexpected conflict.

    • A listening exercise that helps you stay present during a tough conversation with a friend, partner, or neighbor.

    • A simple movement or body awareness practice to release tension after a long day or when your mind won’t stop spinning.

    These aren’t things that only work in a workshop, they’re ways of bringing presence, awareness, and connection into real moments of life. Whether you’re navigating everyday stress, small frustrations, or deeper conversations, the tools are meant to support you anywhere, anytime.

  • Each session is held in English and lasts approximately two hours (if longer, it’s noted in the event description). Bring comfortable clothes, water, and an open mind, that’s all you need to participate. No prior experience is necessary. 

  • These sessions are designed for individuals, or small groups, but I also offer tailored workshops for teams and workplaces. Further details here.
