The lowdown
UNION
A Conscious Speed Dating Event
CONSCIOUS CONNECTION • ROMANTIC RELATING • REAL CHEMISTRY
Forget the apps. Come meet in real life.
Are you single and genuinely open to meeting someone special?
Someone who values meaningful conversation, personal growth, emotional maturity, laughter, honesty and real connection?
Have you ever wondered:
Where are all the amazing singles hiding?
The ones who are tired of endless swiping, surface-level small talk and trying to figure out whether there's chemistry through a screen?
Maybe they're sitting across from you.
Welcome to UNION. 💛
UNION is a playful, soulful speed dating experience created for singles who are genuinely open to meaningful romantic connection.
An evening designed to get you off the apps and into the room - where you can look someone in the eye, hear their voice, feel their energy and discover what happens when two real people actually meet.
Come for the possibility of romantic connection.
Stay for the conversations, laughter, community and perhaps a little more insight into yourself along the way.
You might meet someone you'd love to date.
You might make a new friend.
You might discover unexpected chemistry.
Or you might simply leave feeling more hopeful about what's possible.
Whatever happens, you're guaranteed one thing: real human connection.
THIS ISN'T YOUR TYPICAL SPEED DATING EVENT
No awkward clipboard interviews.
No cheesy dating games.
No sitting across from the same person for an hour.
No pressure to perform or impress.
And definitely no algorithms deciding who you should meet.
Instead, you'll experience:
✨ A beautiful, relaxed environment ✨ Guided one-on-one conversations ✨ 15 potential romantic connections ✨ Thoughtful prompts that go beyond the usual small talk ✨ Time to pause, reflect and reset ✨ Cacao and tea ✨ Light grazing and refreshments ✨ A playful atmosphere where you can actually be yourself ✨ One very special UNION Super Like
Real people. Real conversations. Real chemistry.
HOW UNION WORKS
You'll meet 15 potential connections throughout the evening.
Each date is:
6 MINUTES OF CONVERSATION
+ 1 MINUTE TO REFLECT & ROTATE
Six minutes might not sound like much.
But when you put your phone away, look someone in the eyes and actually talk, you'd be surprised how much you can discover.
You'll be given thoughtful conversation prompts to help move beyond:
"So... what do you do?" 😂
You'll have the opportunity to talk, listen, notice how you feel and see whether there's something you'd like to explore further.
Then you'll have a moment to write down your thoughts, exchange contact details if you choose, and move on to the next connection.
No pressure.
No obligation.
Just curiosity.
💛 THE UNION SUPER LIKE
One person. One signal. Your choice.
Every guest receives one UNION Super Like when they arrive.
Throughout the evening, if you meet someone and think:
“I’d genuinely like to see this person again.” -you can give them your Super Like.
There’s just one rule:
You only get one.
You can give it to someone at any point during the evening - after a date, during the mingling time, during the break, or whenever the moment feels right.
It doesn't have to be the person you had the most instant chemistry with.
Maybe it's someone who surprised you.
Maybe you had an unexpectedly deep conversation.
Maybe you felt completely yourself around them.
Maybe you simply thought:
“There’s something here. I want to explore it.”
When you’re ready, hand your Super Like directly to that person.
No announcement. No audience. No waiting until the end. No pressure to reciprocate.
Just a little golden signal saying:
“I'd like to see you again.”
And importantly:
Not receiving a Super Like does not mean you weren't liked.
UNION isn't a competition and there are no winners or losers.
Some people may exchange numbers. Some may write connection notes. Some may discover a friendship. Some may feel chemistry that takes time to unfold.
The Super Like is simply one extra way to be brave and make your interest known.
📝 THE CONNECTION NOTE
During the evening, you'll also have the opportunity to exchange contact details with anyone you'd like to stay connected with.
If you meet someone you'd like to know more about, simply exchange socials or details through your Connection Note.
No complicated matching system.
No waiting for an algorithm.
No post-event matchmaking spreadsheet.
You decide who you'd like to connect with.
THE 16TH DATE: YOU ❤️
You've spent the evening meeting other people.
For the final date, we're turning the attention inward.
Your 16th date is a date with yourself.
You'll have a few quiet minutes to reflect on the evening and notice how you showed up in connection.
Where did you feel most like yourself?
Where did you perform, impress or put on a mask?
Who made you feel comfortable enough to relax?
Was there anything you noticed but talked yourself out of?
What were you genuinely attracted to?
And perhaps most importantly:
What did tonight teach you about the way you connect, choose and relate?
Because dating isn't only about finding the right person.
It's also about knowing yourself.
