Sheriden (Sherry)

Founder and Organiser of Conscious Connection Events

Originally from Queensland, Sherry has moved around and travelled the world working on super yachts, and moved to Melbourne to work as a Recipe Developer. Having struggled to find other people like her who craved more genuine friendships where you could have deep + meaningful chats and do wholesome activities, she started Conscious Connection in January 2022.

She’s a huge lover of all things ocean-related, a foodie (of course!) and is always learning about personal development, psychology and spirituality. In her spare time, you’ll catch her at the beach playing spike ball, or cooking up a storm for her loved ones.

She currently lives on the Gold Coast and runs the Brisbane and Gold Coast events, but often flies down to Melbourne and/or Sydney to host events in person.

Natalie

Host (Melbourne)

This absolute powerhouse is the brains behind some of our events, planning and organising each outing to perfection. Nat grew up in Melbourne (so naturally she’s a foodie like the rest of us 😍) and after travelling she found she wanted to find more friends who aligned with her current path and who were actually keen to get out and do fun activities like camping and checking out new restaurants. She first came to our Communal Dining Events and Hikes and after meeting some of her best friends there, she has been a big part of CC since! You can expect big smiles, warm hugs and all of the best ideas from this lovely gal!
