Tired of the typical singles events?
Mindful Mini Dates is a warm, thoughtfully designed evening created to help singles connect through meaningful conversation in a relaxed and welcoming environment.
Throughout the evening, you’ll participate in a series of relaxed, mini date-style conversations with other singles. Each interaction is guided by carefully curated questions designed to help the conversation flow naturally and move beyond the usual “What do you do?” exchanges into something more genuine, engaging, and enjoyable.
With each rotation, you’ll meet someone new, creating multiple opportunities for connection in a low-pressure atmosphere.
This event is ideal for singles who value emotional connection, thoughtful conversation, authenticity, kindness, presence, and meeting others in a more intentional way.
Your $25.00 Registration Includes:
- Wine and non-alcoholic beverages
- Appetizers
- Surprise gifts
- Guided conversation experience
- Facilitated post-event connections when interest is mutual
If there’s someone you’d like to speak with again after the event, Dr. Deb will help facilitate the connection when both individuals express interest.
