Â
you're invited to an ongoing experiment:Â
what creates depth + connection? Â
Â
we'll test some assumptions:Â
breath +
gaze +
words +
contact +
stillnessÂ
Â
...create feelings ofÂ
easeÂ
groundedness
comfort...Â
Â
and from that place
we'll find each other
and
together we'll goÂ
into the void.Â
 Â
there'll be guidance
+
libations
+
some light bites
join us.
Â
// the flow + the foundation \\Â
 Â
'the feels'Â mixes time to meet and connect casually, with a 90 min facilitated portion.
Â
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.Â
Â
from mindfulness, we layer in
your body's somatic intelligence,
non violent communication tactics,Â
and what we know from positive psychology
+ group relations theory,
about how to most effectively engage w others.Â
Â
throughout the evening, you'll be paired 5 times.
we close as we opened: with a here + now check in/out.Â
then we return to free time.Â

...that's all cool, but does it 'work' - ?
Â
In a word - YES. In Q1 2023, we conducted a survey of past participants in partnership with Columbia University's Spirit Mind Body Institute. the goal was to understand to what extent the 'VOID' format created (more) meaningful connection than a typical singles event.Â
Â
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.Â
Â
So come cuz it feels good, stay for the opportunity to learn new tools for relating, and leave with an exciting new connection.
A note 'bout pricing + refundsÂ
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.Â
Supporting them at this price point ensures not only that I get to continue to create for others, but that I get to properly pay the people supporting me, which helps a lot in avoiding any kinda burnout.Â
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.Â
If any of this feels sticky or unfair - DM me + lets chat more. Â
