Over dit evenement
How often do you truly meet someone, without masks, apps or polished small talk?
After several sold-out editions, Authentic Dating is back in Utrecht! ❤
Authentic Dating isn't speed dating, and it's definitely not another swipe session. It's a warm, carefully guided afternoon where you meet other singles as you really are. You get to feel what's there between you, instead of judging from a profile.
WHAT TO EXPECT
You'll be welcomed with a glass of bubbles 🥂 and slowly arrive in the group. From there, we guide you through a series of playful encounters: some light and full of laughter, some with eye contact and meditative presence, some a little more sensual. We combine dating with light tantric and touch-based exercises, always at your own pace.
Without even noticing, you'll be laughing, moving and sharing with people you met only an hour ago. Along the way you'll practice skills that most dating never teaches you: sensing what you really want, saying it out loud, and hearing a "no" without taking it personally.
Whether you leave with a date, a new friend, or simply a fuller heart, you'll go home feeling seen, nourished, and more confident about dating.
DOES IT INCLUDE TOUCH? AND WHAT IF I FEEL NERVOUS?
Feeling a bit nervous is completely normal, and most people do at the start. That's exactly why the afternoon is built up step by step.
Touch is always invited, never expected. Every exercise starts with checking in with yourself and your partner.
This event is not about nudity or eroticism. It's about meaningful connection.
You choose who you practice with, and you can set or change your boundaries at any moment. A "no" is always welcome, and it's part of what we practice.
We don't do matchmaking. You follow your own feeling.
You take care of your own needs, and our team is always present to support you.
With a maximum of 30 people, the group stays personal and intimate.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
Singles aged 21–45 who are tired of superficial dating and curious to meet people in a more real way. No experience with tantra or personal development needed, just an open mind. The event is mainly heteronormative, but everyone is welcome regardless of gender or sexual orientation.

WHAT PARTICIPANTS SAY
"The event was very well planned and allowed me to be me with less pressure. I would recommend this event to people who haven't had success with the app-based superficial platforms and seek an authentic 1-on-1 interaction."
"It was a very nice and inspiring event! Instead of online dating you spend an afternoon with a bunch of nice people, get inspired and get an impression of each other. Recommended!"
"What a nice way to meet people, out of your normal dating routines. People really surprised me and now I'm happy to say I'm dating one of the guys from your event!"
