Unlock how you are built to attract. A SUGARHAUS Social Salon with Cacao, Human Design & Portraits. Step into your natural glow this Feb 14.
About this Event

This is not a dating event. No small talk. No performance.

​SUGARHAUS is hosting an intimate Social Salon for 8 to 12 people, uniting Human Design, ceremonial cacao, professional photography, and guided social connection.

The goal: discover how you naturally connect when you stop forcing it.

​You will receive your personal Connection Blueprint—a behavioral breakdown of how you initiate, communicate, and process emotion in relationships.

​You will also receive two authenticity portraits, one on arrival and one at close, so you can see the difference in how you show up before and after genuine connection.

​Ceremonial cacao helps you drop into your body and bypass social awkwardness. Clear framework creates safety and replaces guesswork.

For singles tired of trial-and-error dating and couples seeking clearer relational dynamics.

$50 solo | $80 double (partner or friend). Must pay 48 hours in advance to confirm.

This Valentine’s Day, don’t perform connection.
Experience what actually works.

​EVENT PROGRAMMING:

3:00 PM — Arrival and First Portrait
Check in, settle into the space, and sit for your first unposed portrait. This captures how you show up before the experience begins.

3:30 PM — Ceremonial Cacao
A signature ceremonial cacao elixir is served. Sets the tone for grounded, open conversation without pressure.

4:00 PM — Your Connection Blueprint
Receive your personalized Human Design chart and connection breakdown. Learn how you specifically engage, where you overextend, and what alignment actually looks like for your design.

4:30 PM — Guided Connection Experience
Low-pressure exercises where you practice using your blueprint in real time with other guests. Test how your design shows up in conversation.

5:00 PM — Second Portrait
Capture your authentic presence with a special elevating backdrop. Most guests are surprised by the difference. Mingle freely over light bites and cupcakes.

5:30 PM — Salon Ends


​What you leave with:

​✔️ Clarity for connection (from Human Design)
✔️ Less chasing, less confusion, less over-giving
✔️ More ease, self-trust, and alignment
✔️ Deeper connection with yourself and others
✔️ A tangible portrait of your authentic presence

This Valentine's Day, don't perform connection. Experience what actually works.
