A Relationally-Grounded Approach
Dating Beyond the Surface
Modern dating often leads to option-paralysis and performative interactions. Through our partnership with Miingle Matchmaking, we combine personalized matching with relational preparation—ensuring every candidate enters the match pool with clarity, self-awareness, and explicit relational standards.
The Conscious Foundation Package
An accessible, 1-year entry-level matchmaking service designed specifically for intentional singles.
- ✓ 1-Year Membership: Direct inclusion in our verified, private matchmaking database.
- ✓ Matchmaker Intake: 1-on-1 (60 min) consultation with a certified matchmaker to establish your relational profile.
- ✓ Relational Orientation: 1-on-1 (30–40 min) coaching call with Yuri focused on authentic communication, boundaries, and readiness. (Fee: R600 — waived for alumni who have attended 2+ Conscious Connections events exploring boundaries, consent, and engaging connection activities).
- ✓ Strict Confidentiality: Private CRM profile protection with double-opt-in match introductions.
+ R600 one-off Relational Orientation Session for new community members (Track B).
Who This Is Created For
This offering is tailored for individuals seeking depth, emotional maturity, and clarity in their dating journey:
- • App-Weary Singles: Those burnt out by superficial swiping culture who want curated, intentional introductions.
- • Conscious Communicators: People who value emotional intelligence, clear non-negotiables, and authentic self-expression.
- • Growth-Oriented Individuals: Singles ready to take ownership of their relational patterns and show up grounded.
- • Community Alumni & Newcomers: Event participants skipping directly to database placement or newcomers seeking 1-on-1 orientation before entering the match pool.
The Matchmaking Process
How It Works
Our five-step framework ensures alignment, intentionality, and relational preparation before matches are curated.
Apply & Intake
Submit your confidential application below to give us insight into your background, relationship goals, and core values.
Intake Review
A 60-minute consultation with a matchmaker to establish your relational profile, non-negotiables, and readiness.
Relational Orientation
A 30–40 min 1-on-1 coaching call (R600) for new members to align on conscious communication standards. Skipped if you've attended 2+ events.
Database Entry
Your profile is added to the private database for 12 months, where active matching and cross-referencing takes place.
Curated Matching
Receive double-opt-in match introductions based on relational readiness, values, and lifestyle compatibility.
The Two-Track Model
To maintain the standard of our community, applicants enter through one of two clear pathways:
Established Community Members
Ideal for individuals who have already participated in at least two Conscious Connections events or workshops. Because you have demonstrated familiarity with authentic communication and personal boundaries, Step 3 (Relational Orientation) is bypassed, moving directly to database placement following intake review.
New Member Integration
Designed for applicants new to the Conscious Connections container. Includes a dedicated 30–40 minute Relational Coaching Session (R600) following intake review. This grounds you in our core values, communication framework, and match readiness prior to active database entry.

Matchmaking Guidelines & Community Standards
To protect the safety, respect, and integrity of our container, all participants agree to abide by these clear community standards:
- Confirmed Matches: Once both parties have agreed to meet each other, that is considered a confirmed match.
- Contact Exchange: Contact numbers will only be exchanged once payment has been received.
- Mutual Effort: It is up to both parties to make an active effort to get to know each other.
- Accountability & Ghosting: If one party does not respond or ghosts the other, they will be blacklisted and no longer eligible for any further matchmaking services.
- Graceful Declines: If you are no longer interested in someone, please do the right thing and say so by means of a polite message or call.
- Zero Tolerance for Disrespect: Disrespect of any kind will not be tolerated within our community space.
- Feedback Loops: Feedback should be provided a day or two after a date or any initial correspondence between a couple.
- Reporting Inappropriate Behavior: Always report any inappropriate behavior immediately to the team.
- No Guarantees or Refunds: No guarantees or refunds apply to matchmaking services.
