What we’re about
Bringing the World Together to End Loneliness.
At the heart of CONNECT is a simple truth — we’re not meant to do life alone. Connection nourishes the soul. It offers us a sense of belonging, emotional safety, and the gentle reminder that we’re seen, heard, and valued. Through shared experiences, open hearts, and mindful movement, we create space for understanding, growth, and genuine relationships to flourish.
When we’re disconnected, it’s easy to feel lost or overwhelmed. Loneliness can quietly impact our emotional and physical wellbeing. But when we come together — to move, to breathe, to simply be — we begin to heal.
At CONNECT, we believe in the power of community to uplift, inspire, and remind us that we’re never truly alone. Through movement, mindfulness, and shared experiences, CONNECT brings people together in authentic and powerful ways. Whether you’re joining a beach gathering, an ICONIC experience, or simply having a heartfelt conversation, every moment is an opportunity to reconnect — with yourself, your community, and something greater.

A soul-deep connection experience in one of the Bellarine’s most iconic waterfront venues.
Step into something special. Join us for our next CONNECT ICONIC gathering — a beautifully curated experience set in the heart of Queenscliff’s marina at the much-loved 360Q. Framed by sweeping views of Port Phillip Bay, this cherished venue offers more than just coastal beauty — it’s a place where community, food, and stillness come together.
✨ Your ticket includes:
- A guided CONNECT session
- Your choice of coffee, tea, or warm drink
- A freshly baked muffin served with a view
From 10am to 11am, we’ll guide you through a heart-opening CONNECT session — weaving together gentle movement, mindfulness and meaningful connection in a setting that already inspires awe. Afterwards, linger a little longer… we invite you to stay and enjoy a relaxed coffee, muffin and conversation overlooking the water. With Barry Iddles and the 360Q team offering their signature food, service, and care, this is more than an event — it’s a celebration of place, people, and presence.
This event is perfect for anyone seeking to slow down, breathe deeply, and feel connected as part of something real. Whether you come alone or with a friend, you’ll leave feeling lighter, more connected, and a little more alive.
