Meet & Match #2 (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."

While this is **not exclusively a singles event**, the majority of attendees show up looking to meet potential romantic matches, while others join to meet new potential friends or simply to have a fun, conscious afternoon out. We always encourage those who are there purely for friendships to make that clear and transparent in their interactions. It 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 Venue & Experience*

Set at **The Well within Nine Yards (Rosebank)**, experience a brand-new location with an incredible, calming, and healing vibe! The Well—recognised as one of the most prestigious wellness spaces in Johannesburg.

*What Our Community Says:*

"A space that feels safe enough to be open, curious and genuinely connect... It feels much more authentic than anything else out there." – Cindy

"Relaxed event with opportunity to meet a wide range of people not just romantically but as friends too. Real authentic connection." – Bronwyn Cramer

*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.
