The Connection Lab: A Playful Social Experience for Singles

The Connection Lab: A Playful Social Experience for Singles

Saturday, August 1 · 2–5pm · Mission Yoga, 2415 Mission St, San Francisco

Meeting new people can feel awkward, performative, or stuck in the same small-talk loop. The Connection Lab offers a different way in.

This lively, guided social experience brings singles together through playful games, structured conversations, and embodied connection exercises designed to create curiosity, warmth, and genuine interaction.

This is not speed dating, and there is no pressure to match, impress anyone, or flirt—though flirting is welcome. You might feel a spark. You might make a new friend. Either way, meeting people gets to feel fun again.

Every interaction is facilitated, consent-forward, and completely opt-in, making it easier to relax, stay present, and connect without having to figure out what to say or do next.

Come solo or bring a friend. No special skills or social confidence required—just curiosity and a willingness to try something a little different.

Workshop: 2–4pm

Optional social hour: 4–5pm
