WHAT PEOPLE WHO ATTENDED WALK AND TALK CLUB BEFORE SAID:
"The art walk and talk was amazing. It was thoroughly organised. Logistics was sent a few days before hand. Women were lovely and the facilitators were kind. You didn't need to know art and just come along for a unique experince as a group. I felt a nice sisterhood energy and there was diversity in ages, race and a support for lgbt community which highlights it ethos for togetherness. So glad I went."

"The group were very open and honest, and the walk was lovely. There was no pressure to talk if we didn’t feel like it during our circle which was great for new or shy members. "
--
"It was a last minute booking for me the night before, I just thought, “hey, why not? Go for it!” It exceeded my expectations. I arrived a bit late, in a bit of a fluster, and feeling a bit drained and emotional. I left feeling completely different - my heart was full! Spent hours chatting with the lovely ladies I met, and even ended up going to the cinema with a couple of them after the walk!"
--
"Lovely group with a wonderful purpose, to form connections in whatever way you are needing that particular day or time in your life. I appreciated how it felt very inclusive and personal. I will definitely be returning 😊"
--
"It was genial, I loved talking to all the women whom I found very inspiring and amazing for various reasons. I was apprehensive as don't always find it easy to access my feminine softer side so often nothing labeled women only I sometimes approach with wary, but I'm happy I've done this, it was incredible being in this amazing space with amazing women. I was surprised I've opened up much more than I expected. I loved the meditative experience and oracle card sharing stories. Also the location was gorgeous. Had an absolutely beautiful time."
ABOUT 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.
Our Mission
We strive to make community and support accessible to all, ensuring our events are affordable. No one should be denied connection due to financial constraints.
In a world that is filled with separation and juxtaposition, people feel more disconnected than ever. We believe in creating confidential, safe, inclusive spaces to connect both virtually and in person to battle against this disconnection we see through high statistics of depression and loneliness in this world.
We believe together is better.
