Slow Dating: Authentic Connection
Slow down the swiping/speed-dating and meet awesome people who are interested in deeper, conscious connections!
"Want to connect at a deeper level – beyond the superficial fluff of modern romance? Slow Dating is a hit! Pauline and Marie are a great teaching duo – they masterfully shape the space so that people can drop into an embodied heartfelt place and feel what it's like to be, human to human, with one another again. A much needed antidote to the commodified swipe right, swipe left world of modern dating." - past attendee

About Slow Dating
What do we mean by Authentic Connection?
Authentic Relating Games (also called Connection Games) are designed to create deeper connections while having fun. You'll get prompts and guided exercises to help you relate beyond small talk and get to the heart of what matters to you. You'll have a chance to tap into your curiosity and cultivate your deep listening skills.
Any level of experience with connection games is welcome, from beginner to well-versed!
What's Slow Dating?
The Slooowww element means we’ll have more than a couple of minutes for each date, and we’ll be focusing on bringing more awareness and presence to our conversations. We’ll also be pausing after each date for self-reflection and self-connection with embodiment exercises to soothe any jitters and reconnect you with your playful and empowered self.
What will I leave with?
Potential matches: Privately share with the hosts whom you are interested in connecting further with, and if the sentiment is mutual you will be notified after the event.
Games and Practices: You'll get to take home a copy of the connection game instructions so that you can use them with anyone you think may enjoy them. These practices are a great way to spice up any future date or add depth to any connection!
