The Connection Lab

The Connection Lab: A Guided Connection Experience for Singles (San Francisco)
About this Event

The Connection Lab is a guided afternoon for singles — fun, low-pressure, a little surprising. You'll do some partnered exercises, meet a small group of genuinely interesting people, and practice the thing the apps were supposed to lead to: actual presence with another human being.

Let's be real. App dating is exhausting. All that effort, all that scrolling and swiping, yet somehow you still end up sitting across from a stranger performing your highlight reel and calling it a date. It's a lot of effort for very little actual connection.

This is the alternative.

Some moments will make you laugh. Some will catch you off guard in the best way. You'll leave having actually talked to people. You'll feel connected. Maybe exchanged numbers with one or two people.

You might find a spark. You might find a new friend. Either way, you'll remember what it feels like when connection is this natural.

This is for you if you're single, a little over the apps, and curious what happens when meeting people is actually fun.

All genders, orientations, and expressions welcome. Queer-affirming, consent-forward, no weird vibes.

***There's an optional hour at the end (5-6pm) to hang out, have some snacks, and socialize with your new connections.

"This was wonderful and I'd definitely come again!" -P.L. (participant)

"Probably one of the best setups I've seen ... so kudos to creating such a wonderful setup and container" D.R. (participant)

About Your Guide:

I've spent 20+ years helping people connect — for real, in their bodies, in real time. I use the Somatica™ Method, as well as a number of other modalities, and I run a pretty good room. You'll feel it when you walk in.

"I was suprised by how quickly I warmed up to people and felt truly connected to them." --R.D. (participant)

"Wow, that really boosted my confidence. It was so easy to talk to people." --S.M. (participant)

Is This for Me?

This might be a fit if you:
• Feel tired of dating apps

This might not be a fit if you:

Spots are intentionally limited to keep the space intimate and balanced.
