An IRL experience for those who are thoughtfully approaching dating.
// about \\
‘the feels’ is a 3-hour in-person dating event in LA, designed for people who want more intentional, embodied ways of meeting and connecting with others.
Part somatic experience, part mindful singles event, part human connection experiment — ‘the feels ‘offers a different way to date: slower, more grounded, and rooted in emotional awareness.
Created by Allie Hoffman as part of her masters degree thesis work at Columbia University’s Spirit Mind Body Institute, ‘the feels’ blends psychology, embodiment practices, mindfulness, and authentic relating into one immersive evening.
The format builds off the work of Carl Jung, Joseph Campbell, Dr Martha Eddy, the Buddha + the Tavistock Institute - among others.
‘The feels’ level 1 experience guides you through structured pairings and group moments that include meditations, deep prompts, positive reflections, and somatic elements like eye gazes + hugs.
