Connected You Community

Guided by Heart, United by Connection: This is Connected You.

What began as a women-only community has blossomed into an inclusive space welcoming everyone, from all walks of life. We are a tribe where every person, regardless of background or identity, finds belonging.

We see you. We hear you. We've got you.

At Connected You, we foster connections that go beyond the surface. Our workshops, circles, and events encourage heartfelt conversations that enhance well-being and build meaningful friendships. Our community is guided by compassion, acceptance, and the belief that we are stronger together by supporting one another.

Founded by Essi Virtanen, who draws on her background in journalism and coaching, Connected You was created as a sanctuary for those seeking to be seen and heard. Essi’s understanding of the power of shared stories in healing and uniting us has shaped our philosophy: we are all connected, and through these connections, we can grow and thrive.

What We’re About

We are a community where people are inspired by each other’s experiences, wisdom, and stories. Through our differences, we find common ground, integrating and making sense of our inner lives together. By connecting heartfully, we deepen our awareness, mindful presence, and sense of peace.

We believe that the journey of self-discovery and growth is best undertaken in the company of others. Within a supportive community, we find the tools to navigate and understand our inner experiences. This collective approach helps us unravel complexities, gain insights, and uncover hidden potentials that might remain obscured in isolation. We see stories and experiences as powerful tools for connection and healing.
