Slow Burn Dating: Desire

Wanna reconnect? Tired of online dating? Nervous to put yourself out there? Join us for this exciting new series! With dating apps losing their spark, we're offering a refreshing alternative—an evening of low-pressure connections and inspiring conversations.

Each themed event is hosted by Intimacy Coach and Educator, Tanille Geib and Cora Bilsker, owner of Nested Heart Counselling, who will be your guides through learning activities designed to spark and deepen connection. Whether you're looking for community, activity partners, casual connections, long term partnership or a co-parent, come play in Old Town like never before and discover what “slow burn” really means. Slow Burn Dating is designed to be an inclusive and supportive choose-your-own-adventure experience for all: Straight/queer, monogamous/non-monogamous, vanilla/kinky, neurotypical/neurodiverse and all differing abilities.

Come curious, leave inspired!
