Conscious Dating Initiative

Evolving with Our Community - Moving from Me to We 

Over the past year, we’ve navigated the personal challenges of modern dating together—from rejection and situationships to self-discovery. Now, as our community grows, so does our focus: we’re shifting from "me" to "we," exploring the realities of couplehood with the same courage and honesty that brought us here.

What Makes Us Unique?

Unlike typical dating events or matchmaking services, Conscious Dating Asia focuses on authenticity, inner work, skills and community. In each session of this series, we’ll tackle a critical but often unspoken dimension of committed relationships:

What to Expect:

🔹 Centred on Lived Experience: Community members with lived experience share openly—not as experts, but as people who have been there.

🔹 Audience-Led: You guide the conversation. Submit questions anonymously before/ during the session and we’ll facilitate the conversations.

🔹 No Quick Fixes, Just Real Talk: We’re here to reflect, not lecture or debate the “right” answer. Expect raw discussions and practical insights.
