you're invited to an ongoing experiment:

what creates depth + connection?

we'll test some assumptions:

breath +

gaze +

words +

contact +

stillness

...create feelings of

ease

groundedness

comfort...

and from that place

we'll find each other

come find out what NYC already has:

its vibes here -

+ its your turn.

// the who \\

this event is for you if you're currently dating;

+

if you're exploring mindful connection;

+

if you're aligned w the fact that the event skews hetero.

you don't gotta be actively looking for 'your person' -

but it'd be fun if you were open to finding 'em.

// the flow + the foundation \\

'the feels' mixes time to meet and connect casually, with a 90 min facilitated portion.

the format of the facilitated segment rests on some assumptions:

when we feel grounded + good in our bodies,

an openness is available -

and

that space is ideal for connecting to others.

from mindfulness, we layer in

your body's somatic intelligence,

non violent communication tactics,

+ what we know from

positive psychology

+

group relations theory

about

how to most effectively engage w others.

throughout the evening,

you'll be paired up to 5 times.

we close as we opened:

with a here + now check in/out.
then we return to free time.

...that's all cool, but does it 'work' - ?

In a word - YES.

in Q1 2023, we conducted a survey

of past participants

in partnership with Columbia University.

the goal was to understand to what extent the format created (more) meaningful connection than a typical singles event.

Results showed that 'the feels' is

2x more effective than a typical dating event;

over 60% of respondents left with a connection that carried forward,

and of those,

over 50% were still in touch

at the time of survey.

SO -

come cuz it feels good,

stay for the opportunity to learn

new tools for relating

&

leave with an exciting new connection -

WIN WIN.

SPECIAL THANKS TO...

A note 'bout pricing + refunds

These events are intentionally priced. Meaning: I (Allie) know they're not cheap. This is in part because in this moment they're my art, my creative expression -- and my livelihood.

Supporting them at this price point ensures not only that I get to continue to create for others, but that I get create in beautiful spaces, have support + avoid burnout.

To that, if you scoop a ticket and you're not able to attend for whatever reason, then I'm excited to put your 'credit' on file for a future event, exchangeable one time.

If any of this feels sticky or unfair - DM me + lets chat more.
