Authentic Dating (25-45) - LGBTQ+ Edition

After the huge success and sold-out editions of the last Authentic Dating events, Sterre from Sterre & Dating and Wies from Be Touched Community collaborate again to offer you a new in-depth Authentic Dating event. Upon request from our dear community members, this edition is especially for everyone who feels they don't fit in the standard straight hetero-normative norm, and/or are open to explore outside their box. So in short: those who define as LGBTQ+, including those relating non-monogamous and/or poly-amorous.

WHAT TO EXPECT?
We offer playful ways of interacting, partially sensual, partially with meditative presence. You will skip the small-talk and learn how to approach other human beings in an open, authentic and playful way. In this event we combining dating, the meditation-in-relation practice of Authentic Relating and light tantric & touch-based exercises. You will learn how to communicate your desires and boundaries and enjoy finding out if there is a match! Here’s your chance to connect more authentically, in person, with people both like-minded and different.

As the afternoon unfolds, you'll engage in a series of thoughtfully guided encounters. These experiences encourage you to embrace your true self, communicate openly, and delve into various dimensions of connection. By the end of the day, you'll depart feeling nourished, truly seen, and deeply connected. Plus, you'll acquire practical tools applicable to your everyday (dating) life. Who knows? You might even discover a new romantic connection along the way!

You will be welcomed with a glass of bubbles by Monsieur D’Amour! ❤


TESTIMONIALS

It was a very nice and inspiring workshop! Wies and Sterre maintain very comfortable flow for everyone and the workshop is build up very well. Instead of online dating you spend an afternoon with a bunch of nice people, get inspired and get impression of each other ;)) Recommended !

"As someone who is a bit on the autistic spectrum, numbers come to me more naturally, than interactions with women especially in a dating context.
Luckily, I was able to reach out to Sterre. She put my heart at ease.
The event and all associated activities were very well planned and allowed me to be me with less pressure.
I would recommend this event to people who haven't have had success with the app based superficial platforms and seek an authentic 1-1 interaction"

'I would definitely suggest everyone go to this event. I was at a previous one and it was a wonderful experience.'

'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!'
