About us

#### A Free Online community for YOU!

Connecting You with Your Self, (CYWY) a free online community formed in 2006 offering a time and place to learn and grow within a community.  Learn more about who we are and what we offer at www.connectingyouwithyourself.com.  

"When we have a solid relationship with ourselves, we can confidently go after the life we desire.  The opinions, and judgments of other people become irrelevant.  Life opens up in ways we haven't even imagined possible.  New people and opportunities present themselves.  Magic unfolds." 

CYWY events are free and accessible via Zoom.  Opportunities include yoga, Intentional Living Circles, Empowered Living Chats, a book study, a Relationship Support Group, and a "Good" Grief Support Group. 

CYWY also has many recorded events that you can view on Connecting You with Your Self - YouTube 

CYWY has two Facebook groups 
https://www.facebook.com/groups/connectingyouwithyourself 
and 
https://www.facebook.com/groups/EnneagramType2/

"The most important relationship you will ever have is with yourself.  All other relationships will be reflected by it.  You can't have a healthy relationship with anyone else until you have a successful relationship with yourself."

See you on Zoom!  
Nancy Markow

    ### Presentation:

    ### “The Part of You That’s Always Scanning"

    Before your Type even kicks in, your instincts are quietly assessing the room. Are you scanning for safety, belonging, or intensity? Your dominant instinct acts like an invisible driver, shaping what grabs your attention and what feels hard to ignore.

    In this session, we’ll explore how your dominant instinct influences what you notice, prioritize, and potentially over-focus on. In a panel-style conversation, we’ll look at how the three instincts can show up differently within the same Enneagram Type and in your own lived experience. And in conversation groups, we'll also see how people with a different Enneagram Type, but the same dominant instinct, can feel somewhat alike.

    Come explore how the instincts are flavoring your Type.
