Loving out Loud! A Valentine's Night for people who want the real thing

A Valentine’s Night Dedicated to Love — for People Who Want the Real Thing

This isn’t a night about talking about love.
And it’s not a polished performance of it either.

Loving Out Loud is an invitation to experience love as a verb —
alive, honest, creative, embodied, and shared.

Just days before Valentine’s Day, we’re gathering for a different kind of evening.
One rooted in authenticity rather than appearances.
Expression rather than perfection.
Connection rather than consumption.

This is for people who want something more meaningful than dinner reservations and small talk —
and more real than performative romance.

If you or someone you know would like to share a song, story, poem, movement piece, or creative expression as part of the evening, you’re warmly invited to apply here:

Over the course of the evening, you’ll experience a curated flow of:

• Short talks
• Music
• Movement
• Storytelling
• Creative expression

offered by a diverse group of artists, speakers, and performers.

Some moments may move you.
Some may make you laugh.
Some may quietly bring you back to your own heart.

At times, you may be gently invited to participate — to reflect, write, share, or engage — always with full choice and care.

This is not an event you simply watch.
It’s something you enter.

• Warm, cozy, and alive
• Thoughtful without being heavy
• Playful, human, and grounded
• Intimate, but welcoming
• Like a great night out — with depth

You’re welcome to come solo, partnered, or anywhere in between.
Curious is enough.

• Arrival, settling, and welcome
• A first curated session of short talks and performances
• A relaxed intermission to mingle, connect, and enjoy refreshments
• A second session of expression and inspiration
• A closing reflection to bring the night together

After the event, those who wish are warmly invited to join Dolphin and some of the artists and presenters at a nearby venue for a drink, conversation, and continued connection — making this a full, unrushed night out.

Because beneath most of what we read, sing, watch, and long for
is something simple and profound:

To express love freely.
To be received as we are.
To feel alive and connected in the presence of others.

Loving Out Loud exists to create a space where that’s not just discussed — but lived.

Coach, speaker, and creator of Relational Intelligence (RQ), Dolphin brings people together to explore what becomes possible when we tell the truth, soften our defenses, and allow life to move through us authentically.

• Refreshments are included with your ticket
• This is a community-oriented, welcoming space
• No pressure to perform or participate beyond what is right for you
• This event is a fundraiser — 50% of profits will be donated to a local Edmonton charity (TBA)
