Connection Games with Mihai Banulescu

Why do people love Connection Games? First, they experience an unusual level of heartfelt, intimate connection with self, others, and even humanity. Second, they receive a good amount of feedback on how they show up in the world, which they rarely get outside a therapeutic context or with (some) close friends. Third, they go home with new relating skills, which can significantly impact their lives. We hear rumors of growth, healing, and better relationships. Finally, this entire thing is fun! We love irreverence as much as we do reverence and find that keeping it light-hearted makes it easier to go deep and stay safe.

I was born an Empath with all the Clairs, but it wasn’t until a life changing accident that I began my search for healing. It was a journey of trust & inner guidance that helped me utilize my gifts to help others on the same path. What I do now is a combination of 36 years experience in the Healing Arts. I am best described as an Intuitive Energy Healer, Alchemist & Channel. I lead individual & group sessions for ‘Whole Body Re-alignment’ and Personal Transformation.
Meeting ourselves exactly where we are in ‘Sacred Space’ is a powerful tool to awaken your inner Alchemist. From Nagging thoughts, life crises, chronic pain or heartache, there is nothing that cannot heal if one is open and willing.
