About this Event
We will host two of these events!
February 24th: Ages 25–42
February 28th: Ages 35 and up
If you fall in between, you can choose which one to come to, or attend both!
Most singles events are built around quick impressions, clever lines, and the quiet pressure to “find someone.” This isn’t that.
This evening is for people who are curious about a different kind of connection—one rooted in presence, self-awareness, and honesty. We use the word conscious to mean something simple but powerful: you’re willing to look at your own patterns, question your assumptions, and notice when your ego is running the show. You don’t have to be perfect at it, just open to it.
Instead of speed dating or casual mingling, we’ll guide the group through a series of structured connection exercises over 1.5–2 hours. These practices are designed to help you slow down, drop the usual social masks, and meet each other as real people. After that, we’ll open the space for about an hour of relaxed, unstructured time to talk, sit, laugh, or just be.
There’s no pressure to leave with a romantic match. You might meet someone special, or you might just walk away with a few new friends and a more open heart.
This is an evening for people who are willing to show up as they are, listen deeply, and meet others with curiosity—no expectations and nothing needed outside of showing up.
Important note: This is a sober event so everyone can stay present, grounded, and genuinely connected to themselves and the people around them.
Getting to Evolve Academy
The Evolve Academy of Conscious Learning is located inside The Schoolhouse at 720 Magnolia Road, Suite 21, Charleston, SC 29407.
Please park on the Magnolia Road side of The Schoolhouse building and enter through the double doors labeled “Events.” Once inside, turn left and you’ll find Evolve Academy in Suite 21.
As a center for adult personal and professional development, many of our classes take place in the evenings and on weekends. If you happen to arrive late and find the exterior doors locked, simply knock gently on the window to the left of the doors—this is the Evolve classroom window. (Arriving a few minutes early is the smoothest way in.)
Evolve is a serene, cozy space designed with nervous-system comfort in mind. You’ll find calm lighting, soft rugs and cushions, warm herbal tea, and neutral tones—intentionally curated to help you feel safe, grounded, and cared for. All are welcome. We love all of our neurodivergent friends, all of our friends of various genders, sexual orientations, ethnic backgrounds, physical challenges, and more. There is a handicap accessible ramp to enter the building. This is a safe space for you.
Many of our classes are taught with our students seated on comfy cushions on the ground. If you need or would like a chair, we are happy to accommodate you.
