Craving something beyond endless swiping, “how are u” openers, and dating app exchanges that fizzle out before a real connection can form?
Authentic Relating Date Night for Singles: Ditch the Small Talk offers something totally different.
Rather than trying to impress one another, we’ll slow down and reveal more of who we actually are. Let’s move beyond “What do you do?” and discover what it actually FEELS like to be with the person in front of you.
Through a facilitated series of one-on-one and small-group interactions, you’ll be invited to:
Get out of your head and connect with what you’re actually feeling
Share more of who you are with honesty and ease
Ask meaningful questions - and become genuinely curious about the answers
Meet potential matches in a supportive space
Practice communication skills that can bring more ease, depth, and authenticity into dating and relating
At the end of the evening, you’ll privately select who you’d like to connect with further. If there’s mutual interest, we’ll share your contact information.
You might meet someone you’re excited to see again. And either way, you’ll leave with a bunch of tools you can actually use in dating and relating.
