Queer Psychedelic Speed Dating: London

Back by popular demand, The Psychedelic Society keeps playing Cupid every month. 

The Psychedelic Society in partnership with &Soul bring you Sanctuary Sessions

At &Soul we want to build soulful spaces that empower communities, nurture individuals, and inspire change. Our vision is to radically reimagine urban existence, uniting people in connection to themselves and others, weaving community into the tapestry of tomorrow.

 Ahead of our launch in May, we are excited to co-host the Psychedelic Speed Dating as part of the Sanctuary Synergies, a taster of what you can expect to find in our programme at the Sanctuary.

This speed-dating is a night of sweet conversation, friend-making and finding your future lover! 

The event is open to anyone and everyone. You can drop the small talk and ask the questions you REALLY want to ask. We use the word ‘speed’ in the loosest possible sense. Real connection can't be rushed, and neither will we!

ABOUT THE NIGHT 

Taking inspiration from the 36 Questions to Intimacy and The School of Life's '100 Questions,' this kind of romantic speed ‘dating’ gives you a menu of profound, intriguing, and spicy questions designed to inspire authenticity and meaningful connection with those around you.

You’ll be guided through playful icebreakers and a series of 8-minute one-on-one conversations with different people throughout the evening, wrapping up with free-flowing socializing.

You’ll leave here with a fresh perspective on connection, some fun stories, and maybe even the beginning of something special.

Blue Lotus infused Cacao 

Upon arrival you will receive an Blue Lotus infused Cacao drink , to stimulate connection and get conversation flowing. Experience the unique, mystical, calming and mood enhancing  effects of the ancient Blue Lotus. You will also experience the beautiful benefits of ceremonial cacoa, famous for its heart-opening and spiritual effect on the mind, body and soul.
