CONNECT INITIATIVE
Bringing People Together to End Loneliness.
The CONNECT Initiative is a grassroots movement reimagining community wellness by creating intentional spaces where people genuinely feel seen, supported, and connected—through movement, mindfulness, and meaningful conversation. We’re not just hosting events; we’re building a human-centered antidote to loneliness, one local connection at a time.
Founded by Natalie Woodfull, The CONNECT Initiative began with a single sunrise session in Ocean Grove and has grown into a grassroots movement helping people feel seen, supported, and never alone. Learn more →
Why we exist.
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.
What you can expect at CONNECT
At a CONNECT event, you’ll be welcomed exactly as you are. Whether you come with friends or on your own, you’ll be met with open hearts, genuine smiles, and a space that feels like home. Each session is a gentle invitation to reconnect—with your body, your breath, and the people around you. Through movement, mindfulness, music, and meaningful conversation, we create a space where you can slow down, soften, and simply be.
You might stretch into a guided yoga flow, sink into meditation, share in soulful chats, or feel the healing vibrations of sound. No two events are the same, but every one is designed to leave you feeling more grounded, more seen, and more connected.
This is a place to belong. A place to heal. A place to CONNECT.
