Conscious Dating Gent - Feel, Connect, Meet - Age 30–65+

Over dit evenement

What if meeting someone felt a little easier?

Not through endless texting.
Not through an app.

But in real life.

Sharing an evening with interesting people.
Having genuine conversations.
Laughing. Remembering what it feels like to be more yourself.

That's what CONSCIOUS DATING is all about.

A guided evening where you can slow down, meet new people, and discover what happens when there's less pressure to impress.

A different way to meet

This isn't speed dating.
There are no awkward pick-up lines.
No pressure to impress.

Throughout the evening you'll meet different people through a series of simple guided exercises and conversations. Sometimes you'll be in pairs, sometimes in a small group, while staying together as one group throughout the evening. Everything is explained step by step, so you can simply arrive and enjoy the experience.

Again and again participants tell us:

"It was completely different from what I expected."


Every connection feels different...

Some conversations make you laugh.
Some surprise you.
Some simply feel easy.
Some stay with you longer than you expected.

One of the beautiful things about meeting people in real life is that every connection feels different.

Rather than wondering whether someone likes you, this evening invites a different question:
How do I actually feel with this person?

There is nothing you have to make happen. Just an invitation to notice what feels genuine.


Why people enjoy these evenings:

🌿 Real conversations instead of endless small talk
🌿 No pressure to impress or perform
🌿 Meeting interesting people in a warm, welcoming atmosphere
🌿 A refreshing alternative to dating apps


Practical information:

- How does the evening work?

We'll stay together as one group while regularly meeting different people in pairs and small groups. Everything is guided, so you never have to wonder what comes next.

- Is the event in English?

Yes. The facilitation is in English, and you're welcome to speak Dutch or Flemish during the conversations if that's more comfortable. Translation support is available whenever needed.

Is it a balanced group?

We aim for a balanced group. We only release the same number of tickets for men and women. When one side fills up, we work with a waiting list until more places become available. And eventhough we try to have a 50:50 balance, we can't guarantee it.
