Be sure to check that you're within the age range mentioned for that event before purchasing a ticket. If you'd like to get personal invitations to these events sent right to your inbox, then a membership is for you!

What is Mindful Dating Events?In an effort to give us an alternative to online dating, Mindful Dating Events puts connection, friendship, and organic chemistry before someone's height and occupation. Mindful Dating Events brings back the "good ole days" of social interaction by giving singles a community in which to get to know others naturally. When you attend events, you're sharing experiences and building trust with those you see more often, and this lays the foundation for authentic friendships and long term relationships... all while trying something new and having fun! By completing an initial questionnaire and sharing some basic information about you, you get your name on the list from which age-similar groups and events are paired. From bocce to a high ropes course, you'll have a blast sharing new and exciting adventure with other singles who want to meet in person and build relationships organically too. You won't want to miss the fun & connection...sign up here.

Does Larissa go to the events?No, Larissa doesn't go to the events. Group dynamics flow more naturally and allow group members' natural energy to surface without a designated leader. When you and your group members work together to plan and execute an experience tailored to your individual wants and needs, you bond more over authentic communication styles, problem-solving challenges, and shared experiences. The goal of these events is for you to have fun connecting with others like you. Nothing brings a group of people together better than a low-key challenge!

What kinds of events are currently running?Trust is one of the many things we're missing in society and trust is what we need to flourish in society. At Mindful Dating Events, we believe that seeing people in many different social and cultural circles with different groups of people with their own unique set of energies and personalities and at different types of events and activities is essential for both our own social enjoyment but also for building the foundation of real trust from which meaningful connections can be built upon.

We're currently running the following events: Movement: Salsa & Bachata Group Dance Lessons Adventure: Go Ape Treetop Adventure Course Laughter: Drunk Shakespeare Comedy Show Problem Solving: 60 to Escape Escape Room Challenge Play: Immersive Gamebox Experience In addition to the above, the following events are offered for our VIP members: Story Telling: Personal Trivia & Conversation Problem Solving & Teamwork: Finders Seekers Mystery Puzzle Prompts & Sharing: Coffee with Connection If you have suggestions or are a business who would like to get involved, please write Larissa with details.
