In-person Authentic Dating (Auckland)
Event description
Ready to reconnect after a gruelling lockdown?
Here’s your chance to connect more authentically, in-person, with those both like-minded and different.
You’ll have multiple encounters throughout the event. Each will be carefully guided, inviting you to be yourself, to communicate openly, and explore multiples layers and flavours of connection, maybe even sparking a flame or two!
Authentic Dating has already been a big hit in New Zealand, Australia, Germany and The Netherlands. Here’s what others have said:
"This has been the most positive experience I've had in meeting genuine souls with the intention of finding love/romance for over 6 years" - Matthew
Laurie led us through a series of games and exercises that allowed us to open up and create very real bonds with others and with our own selves. Many emotions were felt in the safest, most welcoming environment" - Jason
Authentic Dating re-opened an old window for me in a new way. Heaps of fun too! And I did meet a very special person. We just got back from a weekend of Easter rock climbing. Highly recommend for anyone curious and keen to connect with depth & joy" - Luca
Authentic Dating welcomes all men, women and non-binary people, monogamous and polyamorous, aged 18+.
While we aim to achieve an even balance of genders and ages, this is not always possible. However, what is guaranteed are skills that you can apply to any relationship. Simply come with an open mind and ready to connect.
