WHAT OUR MEMBERS HAVE SAID?

"After returning to London after living abroad, I felt disconnected and was looking for a space where I could meet like-minded people. In Connected You, I found a lovely, welcoming group of people interested in connecting deeply with themselves and others and having fun. The circle at the Bath House was a lovely space to share and connect heart-to-heart. I left feeling really nourished. Essi is heart-centred, empowering and wise and brings a perfect mix of depth and laughter to the group. Love this space. Thank you Essi!" - Roisin

"I enjoyed the Connected Circle organised by Essi! It was an amazing opportunity to dive deeper within myself and reflect, while at the same time connect with others in a meaningful way. Thank you :) I appreciate all the wisdom shared with me during the session - especially about taking a time to "just listen". Thank you. :)" - Aga

WHAT IS THE CONNECTED CIRCLE?

The Connected Circle is a 2-hour monthly, guided sharing circle designed to foster meaningful connections through mindfulness, group coaching, reflective conversations, and interactive connection activities. This is a space where we co-create a heartful experience, rooted in real-time, authentic sharing.

🌿 This is a space for anyone longing for deep, meaningful conversations—beyond small talk and surface-level interactions. Here, we create a brave, nonjudgmental space where you can show up exactly as you are, be seen, be heard, and be held, and learn something new about yourself.

✨ This is a safe, inclusive space—welcoming every kind of brain, body, background, belief, identity, and experience. Whether you are neurodivergent, disabled, LGBTQIA+, a person of color, from any faith or none, or from any cultural or socioeconomic background—you belong here.

ABOUT CONNECTED YOU COMMUNITY

Guided by Heart, United by Connection: This is Connected You.

What began as a women-only community has blossomed into an inclusive space welcoming everyone, from all walks of life. We are a tribe where every person, regardless of background or identity, finds belonging.

We see you. We hear you. We've got you.

At Connected You, we foster connections that go beyond the surface. Our workshops, circles, and events encourage heartfelt conversations that enhance well-being and build meaningful friendships. Our community is guided by compassion, acceptance, and the belief that we are stronger together by supporting one another.

Founded by Essi Virtanen, who draws on her background in journalism and coaching, Connected You was created as a sanctuary for those seeking to be seen and heard. Essi’s understanding of the power of shared stories in healing and uniting us has shaped our philosophy: we are all connected, and through these connections, we can grow and thrive.

Our Mission

We strive to make community and support accessible to all, ensuring our events are affordable. No one should be denied connection due to financial constraints.

In a world that is filled with separation and juxtaposition, people feel more disconnected than ever. We believe in creating confidential, safe, inclusive spaces to connect both virtually and in person to battle against this disconnection we see through high statistics of depression and loneliness in this world.

We believe together is better.
