Designed by relationship expert Jan Day and facilitated by Rosie Kae, this immersive conscious dating workshop invites you to step beyond small talk and explore real, engaging connections. Through a series of fun, creative exercises—including conversation, movement, and play—you’ll learn to relax, be present, and truly connect with others in a safe, supportive space.
Many participants leave feeling inspired, more confident, and open to love in new ways.

From previous attendees shared:
"Meetings without Masks is a fantastic singles event, wonderfully and skilfully facilitated. I felt safe and held and came away feeling nourished, joyful, energised and hopeful!" Karen
"I can't imagine there's a better experiential workshop 'out there' for singles" Jonathan
“It could have been like speed dating but it wasn't. The invitation was different. It was just to explore whatever connection you had with each person. I had some very moving moments with men I wouldn't have met otherwise.”
Whether you meet a potential date or simply enjoy a day of authentic relating, you’ll come away with deeper self-awareness and self-love, a greater sense of ease in connection, and renewed optimism about relating.

In this workshop, we will explore how to meet each other more authentically.
The day has been carefully structured to help this happen with fun, creative exercises. There will be conversation, dancing and play.
We'll explore:
- Your visions and hopes for intimacy
- Meeting in creative, playful and gentle exercises
- Identifying and honouring your body wisdom and true boundaries
- How to be more authentic and honest (and still be connected)
- Your curiosities and questions about dating and relating

In this workshop we work with boundaries and you never have to have more physical contact than you are comfortable with. There is no requirement to touch or be touched and it is very important that each individual chooses what they want in each exercise.
And if you find the cost is a barrier - contact us at MeetingsWithoutMasks@yahoo.com about a concession.

ACCESS AND INCLUSIVITY
This is not a speed dating event, it is a workshop where we learn skills for dating and relating. We want all attendees to have a positive experience.
Some structures and invitations on the day have an element which is male/female gender normative.
There is an optional space on the registration form to inform us of sexual orientation and/or gender identity. There is no obligation to share this information, which will be kept confidential; and doing so will help me to support the possibility of possible matches and chemistry, and tailor the plan for the day to the people in the room.
If you would like an insight call to decide whether this event is right for you, please request this on your form.
The venue for the Bristol event in September does not have wheelchair access unfortunately. We are actively seeking a suitable venue in Bristol that is wheelchair accessible. If you have suggestions, we would welcome this. The London event in December will be held in a wheelchair accessible venue.
