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 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.
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.
