Looking to spice up your polyamorous dating life?

Here’s your chance to connect playfully and meaningfully with poly folk from all walks of life. After a long break, it's returning to Berlin this August!

You’ll have several encounters throughout the night. Each will be carefully guided, inviting you to be yourself, to communicate openly, and and explore multiples layers and flavours of connection, maybe even sparking a flame or two!

This event is open to polyamorous people of all genders and orientations. Come solo, in a couple or in a throuple!

Is this event for me?

If you are seeking....

Deep & meaningful conversations without small talky chit-chat
Exciting new connections, both romantic & platonic
An opportunity to explore & challenge your assumptions
A substance-free environment
Playful & sincere communication activities
Skills you can apply to your dating life beyond the event
A space to simply be yourself

....then this event is for you

What will actually happen?

You will be invited to explore four unique interactions, some of which are randomised and some of which you can choose. Three will be in pairs and one will be in a group of three. Each will involve a new set of instructions to help you playfully reveal your deeper layers.

Each interaction will last 10-15 minutes. At the end of each interaction, you will have the opportunity to share a contact detail on a piece of paper in a way that is both cute and discrete ~ please bring your own pen!

Consent is important: you always have the agency to choose how deep you go. You will never be forced to share information that you don't want to.

While we aim to achieve an even balance of 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.

I'm Laurie (he/him), a queer British-Kiwi who’s current home-base is Berlin. My passion is creating spaces that cultivate healthy, thriving human-to-human relationships, helping people take off their masks, feel their sensations and celebrate their aliveness on Earth. Since 2019, I have organised and facilitated hundreds of Authentic Relating, Dating and Embodiment workshops in Oceania and Europe.

My training includes The Embody Lab, Authentic Revolution, Body Electric, Connection Institute and World Peace Yoga School. I have facilitated at internationally acclaimed festivals such as Stretch and Ignite, and organisations such as ART International and Authentic Bay Area.

My workshops have sparked thousands of nourishing connections, turning many strangers into life-long friends. I look forward to holding space for you!
