What we’re about

#### 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!

    Connecting You with Your Self, Free Online Community Event

    The Enneagram Harmony Triads show how each type can tap into all three centers of intelligence, life-energies, and emotional regulation styles. Learn to move beyond the limits of your core type to access a broader range of strengths and perspectives.

    Host: Sophia Carmien

    We each have habitual patterns from our core type that come up often. One of the goals in working with the Enneagram is expanding what is possible by accessing other points on the symbol. The Harmony Triads show how each type can move around the Enneagram to access all three centers of intelligence and a broader range of strengths.

    As a group, we have been working with different Enneagram triads in recent weeks, and in this session builds on that shared exploration, though if you missed those discussions, you will still get a lot out of this discussion. The Harmony Triads bring these different Triadic elements together and help us understand how to draw from capacities that our core type does not usually rely on.

    This evening, we explore how your Harmony pattern opens doorways into emotional, mental, and energetic qualities that can support balance and flexibility. You will have a chance to see what is possible when you shift into the other points in your Harmony Triad and how those shifts can widen your responses in daily life. Through exploration, you will come away with a clearer map of how to move beyond the habits of your core type and step into a more flexible and integrated way of engaging with the world.

    Bio: Sophia Carmien is an Enneagram teacher and guide who helps people reconnect with their deeper selves by bringing awareness to inner patterns and expanding what’s possible. After experiencing a profound transformation through her own work with the Enneagram, she now shares this tool of ancient wisdom with others. Through teaching,
    workshops, and one-on-one work, she supports the shift from habitual reactivity to a life of freedom and empowered authenticity.

    The Breath That Knows

    A Harmonic Breath Series for Nervous System Coherence
    Description:
    Step into a field of resonance where your body remembers what the mind cannot explain.
    “The Breath That Knows” is an ongoing energy alignment series dedicated to helping you develop embodied coherence through guided breath, subtle awareness, and energetic stabilization. Each session invites your nervous system to harmonize with what is already true—beneath tension, beyond thought.

    What to Expect:

    • Gentle group attunement through harmonic-informed breath
    • Nervous system recalibration without force
    • Deep stillness, presence, and body-centered insight
    • Space to reflect and integrate in a supportive field

    This isn’t performance or breathwork as exertion—this is energetic listening through breath, revealing the intelligence already within you.
    No prior experience required. Just bring yourself and your breath.

    Hosted in an intimate, grounded setting.
    You’ll leave each session clearer, lighter, and more you.

    Note on arriving late:
    I allow a 5–7 minute settling-in window at the start. After that, the space closes to new arrivals (especially if I don't recognize your name) to honor the group’s focus. Thank you for respecting the container and everyone present.
    I see you.
    I celebrate you.
