About this Event

A Science-Driven Exploration of Love, Attraction, & Connection

Join a relationship scientist and psychology instructor for Attachment & Attraction: The Science of Human Relationships, an engaging session that dives into what really drives our closest relationships. Explore the surprising research behind attraction, the psychology of attachment, and even a clever formula to estimate how many potential partners are in your dating pool — where math meets matchmaking!

This isn’t a lecture on psychology jargon. It’s a lively, interactive conversation designed to give practical insights you can use in your life — with plenty of surprising facts and “I didn’t realize that!” moments along the way. Curiosity encouraged.

Don’t miss this chance to learn, reflect, and rethink how we connect with your After5 Society!
