About us
🌿 Welcome to Community Connect! 🌿
We’re glad you’re here.
Community Connect is a space for discovering wellness-based, community-centered, and creatively inspired events throughout Central Oregon. At the heart of these gatherings is a shared invitation to come home to our authentic selves, our health, our joy, our creativity, and our connection with one another.
This community and the range of events listed is intentionally broad and beautifully diverse. You may find events led by artists, healers, musicians, facilitators, teachers, visionaries, movement practitioners, entertainers, community builders, and many others. The common thread is a desire to create experiences that bring people together in meaningful ways.
🌱 Are you an event organizer?
We warmly invite you to join the group and share your events with the community.
At this time, Community Connect is primarily intended to serve as a cohesive landing place for discovering what’s happening across Central Oregon. There is generally no expectation that organizers use this Meetup to manage RSVPs, registration, or event-specific communication.
🪴 Help us shape what comes next.
Community Connect is an evolving experiment in community connection, and there are many ways to contribute. New ideas, leadership, collaboration, and thoughtful stewardship are all welcome.
Please feel free to reach out to the lead Organizer anytime. We’d love to hear what you’re excited about, what you’d like to see here, or how you might want to participate.
And with deep gratitude, we honor the seed gardeners of the former “One Well” Meetup Group and the loving foundation they created: Barb, Hill, Marci, and Shanti. Much of what is possible here grows from what they lovingly planted before us. 🌱

Connection & Belonging Class
·OnlineOnlineWhat does true connection feel like? How do you experience belonging in your life? What might it be like to feel fully seen, heard, and understood?
Hi, I’m Donna Chisholm! I’m a Mindfulness & Self-Compassion teacher, Authentic Relating facilitator, Yoga teacher, Physical Therapist, and a Relational Coach with my private practice, Connected Coaching.
YOU WILL LEARN:
- Relational tools to deepen connection with yourself and others.
- Practices for authentic sharing and compassionate listening.
- Mindfulness and self-compassion skills to support presence and vulnerability.
- Embodiment practices for nervous system regulation and resilience.
This small-group series is designed as an intentional space for authentic connection and belonging. Each 90-minute session will include my direct facilitation in guided practices, new topics of focus, and optional opportunities for both group and breakout sharing. Clear boundaries and agreements will create safety and respect, allowing vulnerability to unfold naturally. With a maximum of 6-8 participants, the group provides intimacy, depth, and consistency.
