Hi, I'm Alara.

I believe we all want connection: to feel seen, valued and cherished for who we truly are. I’m here to share events that offer opportunities to satisfy that beautiful longing in both playful and profound ways.

I am a certified mediator, trained in Nonviolent Communication (NVC) with a degree in Interpersonal Communication. I'm a lover of all things authentic… and someone whose heart wants to share connection possibilities with you. Why? Because as a woman, midwesterner, catholic raised, recovering people pleaser, I longed for spaces where I could be my true self.

Connection Events encourage our authentic voice and remind us that we are not alone in our human struggles. They give us an experience of what it's like to feel fully alive and accepted in connection. And are a great place to meet kindred community!‍

Alara's connection events are an inspiration for me. They restore my hope and remind me how loving people can be when a safe space is created and they are reminded that they belong. The world really needs the love that Alara helps us share... now more than ever!

Alara has an electric love about her that you immediately feel when you share space with her. For me this translates to feeling seen, safe, supported, and treasured by her and the work you're doing together.

Alara creates an open loving space in which to share, be vulnerable and to be seen. She is an amazing facilitator; very caring, professional, warm and creative. I look forward to more of her events and to meeting the new wonderful people whom she attracts.

I found all of her exercises satisfying for my body and soul. We experimented with different modalities like energy exchange, physical touch, and 1:1 intimate conversations. Who knew I would feel so connected to a group of strangers in such a short amount of time?
