Post-Reconnect Findings: What We Learned About Disconnection and Resilience

· 1 min read

Positive change can begin with a spark of an idea.

That’s how Reconnect started.

This was the first time Kathrin and I created something like this together, and also something new for each of us. It came from a need we kept sensing in the people and communities around us: a quiet but very real sense of disconnection. Disconnection from the body, from emotions, from ourselves, from other people, from a felt sense of direction.

We kept wondering:

Would this land? Would people be interested? Would we work well together? Would it actually offer value?

The answer, over and over again, was yes.

When a programme comes from a need you genuinely sense around you, and you shape it with care to meet that need, it works. It flows because it's not us imposing what we think is needed, rather it's responding, to listening.

Reconnect grew from that place.

Kathrin brought her deep expertise in Nonviolent Communication, inner teams, and dialogue. I brought some frameworks like ORID (thank you Julia for the introduction to that one!), playful embodiment practices, and creative ways of making reflection feel alive and accessible.

Together, we created a programme for people who want to ground, grow, and give, but may not yet know how.

And with that, we’ll be running Reconnect again in June.

If you’re curious to learn more, come along to one of our free taster sessions in May. We’ll be holding a few, and you can swipe to the end to register for the next one on May 16.

This is just the beginning, and we’d love for you to be part of it!
