SACRED CONNECTIONS
A Sanctuary for Empaths and Highly Sensitive Souls
Are you an empath or highly sensitive person who feels overwhelmed by the noise and disconnection of today’s world? Do you long for a nurturing space where your feelings are truly seen, heard, and honored, without judgment or the pressure to “fix” yourself? Do you crave authentic connections with others who understand the depth of your journey, regardless of differing perspectives or beliefs?
,
- Welcome to Sacred Connections, a monthly subscription program designed for souls like you. This is not just another online group—it’s a sacred refuge where you can share your perspective, feel validated, and rediscover the beauty of belonging in a world that often feels isolating.
The Pain of Being Highly Sensitive in a Disconnected World
- As an empath or highly sensitive person, you feel everything deeply. The chaos of modern life—division, judgment, and superficial interactions—can leave you drained, unseen, and yearning for meaningful connection. You may feel:
Overwhelmed by the constant barrage of opinions and negativity in the world.
Isolated because your sensitivity makes it hard to find others who truly “get” you.
Silenced in spaces that prioritize fixing or debating over listening and understanding.
Disconnected in a society that often pushes away those with different values or perspectives.
You deserve a space where your sensitivity is celebrated, not stifled. A place where you can share your joys, challenges, and perspectives—and be met with compassion, not criticism.
Sacred Connections is that space
What Is Sacred Connections?
Sacred Connections is a nurturing online community where empaths and highly sensitive souls come together to share, listen, and connect deeply. This is not a coaching program or a place for activism—it’s a sanctuary for authentic sharing, active listening, and heartfelt belonging. We believe that every perspective, opinion, and experience matters, and we model how to embrace differences with grace and understanding.
Here’s what makes Sacred Connections unique:
Sacred Shares: A dedicated time for each participant to share their perspective—focusing on personal feelings, experiences, and “I statements” (e.g., “I feel overwhelmed when I hear news” rather than judgments about external events like politics or global issues). This practice creates a welcoming, non-polarizing space where your inner journey is honored, fostering connection without division.
Sacred Presence: Through deep listening, mirroring, and validation, we reflect back what we hear, ensuring you feel truly seen and understood. This practice fosters trust and connection, even across diverse perspectives.
No Fixing, No Judgment: Unlike other online groups that focus on advice or agendas, we prioritize presence and acceptance. You’re free to be exactly who you are.
Authentic Connection: In a world divided by tribal thinking, we create a space where all voices are welcome. We model how to listen and validate across differences, rebuilding the lost art of true human connection.
What You’ll Experience
Imagine a gathering where your sensitivity is not just understood but celebrated—a place where you can breathe deeply and be your true self. Sacred Connections is a twice-weekly online gathering where empaths and highly sensitive souls come together to share, listen, and grow. Here’s the magic you’ll discover:
Freedom to Share Your Heart: Through Sacred Shares, you’ll voice your personal feelings and experiences using “I statements,” knowing your words will be met with compassion in a judgment-free circle. Whether you share a spark of joy or a quiet struggle, your perspective is valued.
Transformative Listening: Our Sacred Presence practice ensures your story is deeply heard. As others reflect your words back with care, you’ll feel profoundly seen, forging connections that embrace all perspectives and foster mutual understanding.
A Community of Kindred Spirits: Connect with others who feel the world as deeply as you do. This is a space where differences enrich our shared journey, encouraging growth through honest, heartfelt exchange.
A Spark for Your Soul: Leave each gathering feeling lighter, inspired, and renewed. Our shared mantra at the close of every gathering will remind you of your inner strength and the power of collective belonging.
Whether you join us for every gathering or choose the moments that call to you, Sacred Connections is your sanctuary for healing, growth, and authentic connection in a world that needs it most.

MEET KRISTEN
Kristen Schwartz, MA, CTRC, is a writer, entrepreneur, attuned empathic healer, and certified trauma recovery coach. She holds a Master's Degree in Counseling. In 2016 fueled by passion and recognizing the need for empaths and highly sensitive people to realize their potential, Kristen became the founder of Realized Empath. Within this wellness community, empaths unite for support, inspiration, and healing.
When she's not deep diving with other empaths, Kristen plans her next travel adventure or reads books in a hammock amongst the trees. Kristen resides in Georgia with her husband and two children.

Barb Turner
Working with Kristen was like opening a massive door. I see myself differently now. The work we did explained things I did not know needed explaining. I feel like the light has been turned on; I feel empowered. I had confidence in Kristen as a facilitator. I knew she had the experience, and her wisdom was heartfelt.

Jean McGowan
The work Kristen has done in this field is unparalleled. She's an excellent guide and teacher - I would highly recommend this class. After taking the Highly Intuitive Empath course - I am now able to asses the situation in any given room I walk into - decide if it's my energy or the other persons energy I'm feeling and react appropriately.
I learned how to create and feel a protective energy field around me before entering a potentially difficult situation (I'm still working on that ;). This class allowed me to recognize that I have the power to take care of myself and deflect the energy of others.


Sharon Downs
Kristen as she is very knowledgeable and experienced in her field.
I received so many benefits from our work together. Like; understanding that I am gifted rather than 'overly sensitive' - how to 'look after' myself so I am able to use my gifts in a way that healthfully benefits me and others. Surer about setting boundaries and understanding why I need to set them. Looking after myself as oppose to being annoyed with others when they do not show me the respect I am looking for.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Sacred Connections gathering like?
Each gathering is a heart-centered online experience where empaths and highly sensitive souls share their perspectives and listen deeply. You’ll engage in Sacred Shares (voicing personal feelings using “I statements”) and Sacred Presence (reflecting and validating each other’s stories). We close with a shared mantra, leaving you inspired and connected. It’s not coaching or therapy—just authentic, supportive connection.
What should I share during Sacred Shares?
We encourage sharing personal feelings and experiences using “I statements” (e.g., “I feel anxious when I see division” rather than opinions about politics or global events). This keeps our gatherings welcoming and focused on your inner journey, fostering connection without division.
When and how often are gatherings held?
Gatherings occur twice weekly on Tuesdays at 9:00 AM PST and Thursdays at 5:00 PM PST via Zoom. You can attend both weekly gatherings (8 per month) or choose one weekly time (4 per month), based on your subscription plan.
Do I need to attend every gathering?
