About this Event

// about \\

Created by Allie Hoffman as part of her masters degree thesis work at Columbia University’s Spirit Mind Body Institute, ‘the feels’ is a 3-hour evening that includes an 80 minute facilitated experience.

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 pairings that include meditations, prompts, positive reflections, and somatic elements like eye gazes + hugs.

‘The feels’ believes that =>

  • Better relating is possible.
  • Your body holds infinite wisdom, and tapping into that to determine if you want to connect deeper with someone, gives you more valuable ‘information’ than head-based read outs like where someone lives or where they work;
  • Online dating has left us treating each other badly; the way back is to show up with kindness, and care – which we facilitate you into expressions of;
  • Co-regulation is a powerful place to be – and we’re here to help you experience it;
  • Discomfort is OK. We believe if you’re able to sit at the edge of discomfort, and self-soothe - that it empowers a sense of self and pride that fortifies you;
  • If all you do at ‘the feels’ is write a love letter to you - we’re really happy w that. We don’t promise you that you’ll meet the love of your life - but we can guarantee that you’ll walk away with a sense of your own amazing’ness. We’re really here for that.

More things to know about ‘the feels’ =>

  • Our facilitators are professionals holding masters degrees (or higher) in the fields of mental health, movement, therapy, performance, and sexual health - among others;
  • Your ticket includes unlimited light bites, alcoholic + non alc beverage options;
  • Since inception + in partnership with Columbia, survey data we have collected shows that 70% of all ‘feels’ level 1 attendees will walk out the contact info for someone they’re excited about;
  • We’re here to build a community of people who believe - like we do - that its possible to treat each other better. Your purchasing this ticket opens that world to you. We bring it to life via WhatsApp communities + a series of offerings only available to Level 1 alumni.
