Meet & Match (The Well - Nine Yards: Rosebank): Picnic & Play | Ages 30–55

Picnic & Play – The Well Special Event

This isn’t your typical, awkward "singles mixer." The Connection Lab is a facilitated, sober-friendly social experiment designed to completely bypass the shallow small talk and get straight to the "good stuff." Whether you are looking for a romantic match or a new tribe of like-minded friends, this is a safe, grounded space to practice presence, set clear boundaries, and experience authentic connection.

*Targeted Age Group (30–55 Years)*

Curated for a targeted age range of 30 to 55 years to ensure strong, relatable group dynamics and shared life stages.

*The Mechanic: Curation & Contribution*

To ensure a balanced "tribe" and shared effort, every guest plays a vital role in our social ecosystem. Upon booking, your spot is secured, and you will be assigned one of the following community roles prior to the event:

* Host: You bring the foundation. You’ll be asked to bring a picnic blanket and a selection of finger foods (including vegetarian options).

* Guest Contributor: You bring the energy. You’ll be asked to bring drinks (iced tea, juices, etc.) and a 3-Minute Game or prompt.

This is a Conscious Sober Event—we kindly ask for drinks that support a clear-minded, stimulant-free space.

*The Structure of the Afternoon*

* 12h45 to 13h00 – Arrival & Natural Selection: Check in, unplug, and settle into the space.

* 13h00 (We start on time) to 15h00 – Facilitated Group Games: Guided social play and connection exercises designed to build safety and break the ice.

* 15h00 – One-on-One Speed Meet & Greet: Using a personal item you bring along as a conversational anchor, you’ll rotate through intentional, timed conversations.

* 16h30 – Organic Socialise: The final 30 minutes are entirely yours to re-engage or deepen connections.

* 17h00 Onwards – Restaurant Transition (Nine Yards): The official facilitated lab wraps up at 17h00. The entire tribe is invited to migrate over to a nearby local restaurant within Nine Yards immediately after to carry the conversational momentum into an early dinner and drinks!
