Over dit evenement
"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"

Ready to meet real women & talk about what really matters?
Here’s your chance take a break from the apps and connect more openly and authentically with a range of wonderful women both like-minded and different. After a long break, it's returning to Amsterdam this July!
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. Come spark a new summer flame! 🔥
Authentic Dating welcomes lesbian, bisexual, queer & trans women aged 18+, both monogamous & non-monogamous.
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. Each will involve a new set of instructions to help you communicate about topics that really matter to you.
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.

Laurie King
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!
I also offer online Holistic Coaching sessions, inspired by Authentic Relating, Positive Intelligence and Somatic Experiencing techniques.
