The Match Experiment
Join us for an evening of facilitated connection with hand-picked people seeking real relationships. Get at least one match or a full refund.
Swiping and small talk are excellent ways to play it safe on first dates, but when we’re not showing up as authentically ourselves, we miss out on the experience of really connecting with our date.
We learn a whole lot about how it feels to interact with our dates mask to mask, and next to nothing about how we actually feel connecting with one another, authentic self to authentic self.
Magic happens when we show up as our authentic selves on a date — even alongside the fear, the masking, the anxiety, when the more our authentic self shows up in the foreground we watch our real connections skyrocket. This opens us up to a whole new set of possibilities for joy, connection, and trust in our relationships.
Join our expert facilitators — with thousands of hours of co-facilitating emotional and relational workshops — for an evening of authentic speed dating. The Sleepawake facilitation team’s past programs have led to a 51% average increase in relationship satisfaction across all relationships, and at this workshop they’ll be focusing that wealth of knowledge specifically on fostering satisfying dates.
Register early! This event is capped at 40 people, and we will not be able to admit everyone. The earlier you register, the higher your chance of admission.

About Sleepawake
Our facilitator team weaves dozens of lineages of practice including Byron Katie’s The Work, Peter Levine’s Somatic Experiencing, Alexander Lowen’s Bioenergetics, Integral Theory, as well as a deep appreciation of the evolution of consciousness and the sources of human suffering and joy. Our work evolved into a month-long residential experience called Sleepawake Camp, where participants immerse themselves into utterly new ways of being — some call it “How to Human”.
