1st Mindful Dating Berlin | Genuinely Connect With Thoughtful Singles

Dating in Berlin can feel like endless swiping, half-hearted chats, and fleeting encounters. Too many options, too little depth. Many of us are searching not just for a partner, but for genuine connection.

Mindful Speed Dating Berlin offers a different path. Inspired by our Mindful Circles community, this evening blends meditation, reflection, and mindful dialogue — so you meet people as they truly are, not just as another profile.

This is not about being perfect. It’s about being present.

In ~2 hours 30 minutes, you’ll move through a unique journey:

1. Arrival & Opening – Tea, orientation, and a short meditation to ground.
2. Group Deepening Rounds – Four themed conversations (Joy, Resilience, Values, Healthy Love). Small groups explore texts + questions inspired by Buddhist and mindfulness teachings. Get to know each other in a way you never experience before, whether for dates or friendships.
3. Tea & Food Break – Space to mingle freely.
4. One-on-One Encounters – A mindful speed dating ritual: reflection sheets, silent reading, eye contact. Everyone meets everyone, without small talk pressure.
5. Closing & Matches – You’ll note down the numbers of people you’d like to meet again (for friendship or dating). After the event, we’ll discreetly inform you of your mutual matches.

By joining Mindful Speed Dating Berlin, you agree to enter a shared space of care, presence, and respect. This is not just another event — it is a practice of mindful connection. To protect everyone’s safety and dignity, we ask you to honor the following commitments:

• What is shared in the circle stays in the circle.
• Do not repeat personal stories, names, or details outside of this event.
• Respect that each person chooses what and how much to share.

• Listen with openness, without interruption or judgment.
• No harassment, pressure, or unwanted physical contact of any kind.
• If someone says no, that is the end of the conversation. Boundaries are to be honored immediately and completely.

• Phones remain off and put away during the event.
• Be on time, stay engaged, and give each person your full attention.
• Speak from your own experience, and listen with your whole presence.

• Approach each encounter with compassion and curiosity.
• Treat every participant — regardless of gender, orientation, background, or belief — with equal respect.
• Remember the Buddhist teaching: “May all beings feel safe, may all beings feel free.”

💡 These commitments are what make mindful dating different from ordinary dating. By participating, you help create a space where genuine connection is possible — rooted in safety, honesty, and kindness.

• Mindfulness First: Begin with meditation, not small talk.
• Depth & Breadth: Reflect in groups, then meet individually.
• Safe & Respectful: Clear code of conduct, confidentiality, and a supportive atmosphere.
• Clarity: You choose if a connection is for friendship or dating — no awkward pressure.

Participants leave not drained, but energized and inspired, having met others who value presence, respect, and growth.

We will gather in a sacred Buddhist temple space in Friedrichshain.

It is a serene, candlelit room that invites presence and care — a place where silence and respect are part of the atmosphere.

Please note:

• Shoes must be removed before entering the temple.
• Treat the space as sacred — keep voices gentle, respect the surroundings, and help us leave it exactly as we found it.
• Tea and light snacks will be served in the break, outside the meditation hall.

• Working professionals in Berlin seeking genuine connection.
• Recommended age range: 25–40 (give or take a year or two).
• Open to all genders and orientations (dedicated rotations for LGBT participants).
