What we’re about
Welcome!👋
This group was set up to connect people in person in a more dynamic way that focuses and celebrates what really matters most: making meaningful connections in person, that are fun, interesting and at the same time offers event exclusivity without the hefty price tag!
- WHAT IS THE GROUP ABOUT AND WHAT MAKES THIS GROUP DIFFERENT?
Connected Exclusive Events was set up to run high quality events that do not break the bank! The focus is simple: going back to basics and connecting to nature, self and others in a way that offers variety in the sort of activities offered, in London and Greater London areas.
-
With all the events only location areas are listed and meet up points, making it super easy to know where we will be meeting up for the events. The exact event venue on will only be disclosed to attendees when they show up to the event on the day. This means a certain amount of mystery and anticipation is involved before each event.
-
The aim is to foster a community of amazing people who are encouraged to get together monthly: so the events are geared towards people who are intentional and actually show up to events!
-
These events are run simply. Meaning that unlike many events being run, there is no need to join Whatsapp groups to stay updated and no social media gimmicks will be offered to take part. During and after the events , who attendees connect with and how they choose to stay in touch, is up to each individual person. So the events are being run as phone/technology free-events. This means that it is encouraged (but not mandatory) for mobile phones to be switched off or in the very least silenced throughout the events until towards the end of the events when phones can be switched on. This is to ensure a better experience is had at connecting with each other without distractions and allowing for the possibility of being more present with others. There will be minimal events ran as well where phones are allowed and this will be made clear on the listings.
-
A wide variety of events are on offer, so there are options and choice for most if what you are after is an in person community where reconnecting with nature, oneself and others if what you're after and you're looking for is meaningful and fun ! Whether you are shy or an extrovert, do join in...a big warm welcome is always guaranteed and delivered!
-
WHO SHOULD JOIN?
Our community is open to both adult men and women who are on the path to discovering their Higher Self and are passionate about nature and creating a supportive network. Join us to experience the transformative power of connecting with like-minded individuals in a holistic and nurturing environment.
- WHAT TYPE OF EVENTS ARE RUN? AND HOW OFTEN?
🚶♂️Rambling/Walking Events.
💑In person activity Singles Mixers and Dating Events
🧎🏼♂️Mini Outdoor (in nature)Retreats
🍹Deeper Conversations Dinner Events
The events are run monthly.
- HOW ARE THE EVENTS RUN?
📍The meet up area and place will be listed, making it super easy to know when and what time we will be meeting. Where we meet up will not be where the event will take place, this will be disclosed on the day to attendees who have completed the RSVP process and paid. A message will be sent to everyone who RSVPs a day before the event(after RSVPs close) to provide any last minute information and contact details of the organiser on the day of the events.
💳Refunds are not offered or given under any circumstance, unless the event needs to be cancelled completely. Refunds are not given for no shows, late arrivals, if you're not happy with the event or who showed up etc...
For outdoor run events, if the weather becomes untenable, the event(s) will be rescheduled. For those that cannot attend the rescheduled event they can choose to attend any other event. Refunds will not be issued unless the event is cancelled completely.
📵 Since the events revolve around connecting with others in a more meaningful way, these events are run as phone/technology free events: that means that attendees are encouraged(but not mandatory) to switch off their mobile phones during the events they are attending or if this is not possible, at least to keep them on silent and not be on the phone. Towards the end of the events it is fine to switch the phones on, but for the duration of the events it is encouraged to have a phone free zone for a more connected experience for all attendees. This is to ensure a better experience for all attending and to encourage attendees to be more present with themselves and others.

See all- Connecting Touch Exchange & Monthly Social MixerSt Marys Church Beddington, Off Croydon Road£27.80
Come join us for a fun monthly event where we connect, exchange touch and socialize!
- When was the last time you got your touch needs met?
- Are you single or in a relationship and experiencing skin hunger?
Since COVID, so many of us feel lonelier and disconnected and touch deprived, regardless of whether we have others around us in our lives or not. Touch is absolutely crucial for health and wellbeing for all human beings. Touch helps us feel safe, included and regulated. Touch starvation or hunger is a what is called when you don't get as much physical touch as you're used to - or any at all.
And by touch what is referred to is not the intimate/sexual kind, although this has it's value in a loving, intimate relationship. But rather what is being referred to is holding hands, a hug, a cuddle from siblings, friends, children or from a romantic partner too.
If you cannot remember the last time you got your touch needs met in whichever way was significant to you, you can always:
Seek out opportunities for physical contact with loved ones, cuddling with a pet, or engaging in regular massages or even self-soothing activities like taking a bath or wearing comfortable clothing can help alleviate feelings of touch starvation.
These are just a few options, but here is another option:
Why not join a community where you can get your touch needs met in a platonic, safe, boundaried group space where everyone is welcome?✳️WHO IS THIS EVENT SUITABLE FOR?
Adult (over 18s) men and women, single or in relationships, that feel touch starved and would like to attend an event where they can get their touch needs met in a safe, boundaried and platonic way, while meeting new people.
Disclaimer: This event is not suitable for anyone who is easy triggered by touch of any kind or anyone who has severe and complicated mental health issues, whether diagnosed or undiagnosed.✳️WHAT IS CONNECTING TOUCH EXCHANGE AND WHAT WILL HAPPENS DURING THE EVENT?
• Connecting Touch is platonic touch(there is no sexual or intimate touch involved at all) and the process is about learning to touch in a healthy, boundaried manner via light touch that allows for the nervous system to co-regulate. At the same time speaking to the other person in a way that allows each to feel seen and heard. Gender balancing is not the focus: we will be rotating in pairs of the opposite sex as well as the same sex too. Connecting Touch will happen within a group setting only, everyone will be fully clothed and be supervised/monitored throughout to ensure the safety of all attendees.
•Upon meeting up there is a 10 minute and greet. After that we will head towards the event venue to start the event. This will involve the social mixer happening at the start of the event or towards the end of the event, where we meet up for an informal chat and have something to eat and/or drink.
•The Connecting Touch Exchange will start after a brief explanation of what is involved.
This event is being run to achieve well-being through platonic touch and connection, empowering communication and practicing asking for what you want. You choose if you want to share nurturing, safe, respectful, platonic touch and comforting connection and with whom.Please be mindful that for any attendees who do not honour the etiquette for respectful Connecting Touch Exchange, (as will be explained on the day) they will be removed from the event and will not be able to join in to any further events run by Connected Exclusive Events.
