The Heart of Dating.

Are you tired of small talk and online dating? Ready to find love in a heartfelt and easy-going environment?

We have good news - this event is for people who wish to connect in community, in embodied and heart-centered ways, and are open to romance! Come connect with kindred spirits and meet your potential sweetheart.

Your hosts: We, Pauline and Marion, have experienced our own challenges and quirks of dating. Our love journeys inspired us to create a relaxing and inspiring atmosphere for you to slow down, play, reflect and connect in heartfelt ways.

What people are saying

  • "Marion and Pauline created a unique event that I found truly engaging. It created an opportunity to see people in a way you otherwise may not have. Seeing ‘how’ someone does something can tell you a lot!"

    Rebecca C.

  • "I've taken a few other conscious dating and friend-making workshops and this was the most relaxed, fun, and unintimidating."

    Chris B.

  • "Marion and Pauline created a safe space to meet and connect in playful ways. Initial strangers soon felt like friends. I felt uplifted by the experience and would definitely attend again... this offering is worth checking out!"

The flow:

• As we wait to begin, you can co-create a mini-wall mural or spark conversations with ice-breakers that we prepared. Then we’ll gather in a circle to go over guidelines, let go of our critics, agree to confidentiality, and meet with brief introductions.

• After that we’ll invite you into small group activities, where you can share about yourself, with words and beyond, in genuine, creative and meaningful ways. Some examples of activities are:

* explore your ways of relating through drawing,

* take turns co-creating a love story with imagination,

* get to the essence of what matters in love, in embodied ways.

This is an opportunity to get to the heart of who you are, in life and in dating. No artistic skills are necessary, and all participation is optional.

• We will complete in a circle, followed by free time to chat and connect. You will have an opportunity to share appreciations and your contact information with anyone you’d like to connect with more.

This event is designed for those who identify as straight, bisexual, pansexual, and heteroflexible. When you choose a ticket, please choose if you identify as female or male bodied. We are open to add events geared towards more gender and sexual orientations in the future. Feel free to reach out and ask!
