feels ENM 16: an IRL dating event

An conscious & intimate relating event for those exploring polyamory, non-monogamy and other types of open relating.

Created by Allie Hoffman as part of her masters degree thesis work at Columbia University’s Spirit Mind Body Institute, ‘the feels’ is a 3-hour evening that includes an 80 minute facilitated experience.

‘The feels’ level 1 experience guides you through pairings that include meditations, prompts, positive reflections, and somatic elements like eye gazes + hugs.

this edition of ‘the feels’ is for ppl who identify as: practicing / exploring / engaging in non monogamy, polyamory, relationship anarchy, non-traditional relationship structure + its (also) for you if you’re exploring mindful connection; if you’re in new and ever expanding expressions of your sexuality; + if you’re exploring attraction and desire + one of your core – if not the core – value you hold is honesty/integrity/commitment to truth.

This version of the ‘feels’ is open to all regardless of age, religious identity, race, body type, gender identity or expression, or sexual orientation.

We have very intentionally made this ENM feels a queer friendly event, to honor + uplift the very significant overlap between our queer community and our ENM community! This means that participants are welcome to explore + invite pairings that best align with their desires, regardless of gender parity in the room.
