Hello Modern Meditators,

Modern dating can be tough. If you own a smartphone, you’re carrying a 24-7 singles bar in your pocket. With the seemingly endless supply of singles and waves of notifications and matches, the sea of fish could cause us anxiety and stress, making it harder to truly connect and build authentic relationships.

But we want to change all that. We want to cultivate genuine relationships, be it a friendship or relationship, we want to get to know ourselves and others with no expectations and an open heart.

Contrary to speed-dating events and on-demand swiping and matching, Slow dating looks beyond seeking a mate, it is a fun practice of being real and expand our capacity to love whether we are partnered or single.

Slow down and come join us for an evening of meditation, story-sharing, mindful-dating tips and exercises that are free of tinder, alcohol or ego. We will give you mindful dating tips on how to overcome anxiety while making meaningful connections. Exercises are fun, slightly physical, and infused with positive relating skills.
