ABOUT
Connection Lab: Picnic & Play (Meeting & Matching) - Ages (39-55)
You’ve learned the Language of Connection in our Foundations Lab. Now, it’s time for the Playground.
This is a facilitated Meeting & Matching event—a social ecosystem designed to bypass "mixer anxiety" through collaborative contribution and parallel play. Whether you are looking for a romantic match or your future tribe, this afternoon is designed to show you who people really are through shared action.
The Mechanic: Curation & Contribution.
To ensure a balanced "tribe" and shared effort, every guest plays a vital role. Upon booking, your spot is secured, and you will be contacted prior to the event to be assigned one of the following roles:
- The Providers: You are the foundation. You’ll be asked to bring a picnic blanket and a selection of finger foods (Biltong, quiches, etc. including veg options).
- The Hosts: You are the energy. You’ll be asked to bring the drinks (Ice tea, juices, etc.) and a "3-Minute Game" or prompt (Cards, Jenga, or conversation starters). Preferably drinks that would ensure a Conscious Sober Event.
The Facilitation Flow
- Phase 1: The Tribe Build | Group rotations in small "Blanket Pods." Observe group dynamics and enjoy shared games in a low-pressure setting.
- Phase 2: The Deep Dive | High-speed 1-on-1 rotations. "Given" a blanket, connect for 5-10 minutes, and move to a new station when the whistle blows.
What to Expect
- Refresher on Boundaries, Consent, and Authentic Relating.
- Meeting & Matching: Facilitated rotations to ensure you connect with as many of the people present.
- No-Sting Matching: Our double-blind system remains—contact details are only shared if the interest is mutual.
- Bonus: Ecstatic Dance (17h00): Transition from "Mind" to "Body" with a social dance event at the same venue immediately after the Lab (for an additional fee "Payable in advance or at the event on the day")
