About us
Welcome to Conscious Connections Joburg!
Tired of shallow small talk, endless digital swiping, and awkward mixers? So are we. This group is built for anyone in JHB wanting to log off, drop the digital noise, and build genuine, real-world connections.
Whether you are single and looking for a romantic match, completely taken, or simply wanting to expand your circle with like-minded friends—this space is for anyone seeking intentional human connection.
What we do:
We host beautifully curated, sober-friendly social experiments, dynamic connection labs, and casual weekend activities (like relaxed group hikes, picnic & play afternoons, and social walks). Our signature events feature unique mechanics like digital detoxes (phones checked at the door), structured group games, and secure, double-blind 1-on-1 matching rounds designed to get straight to the "good stuff" in a safe, low-pressure environment.
This group is for you if:
You are exhausted by digital screens and crave raw, real-time presence.
You want a safe space to practice mindfulness, personal growth, and authentic relating.
You value real-world conversation over curated online profiles.
Let's drop the digital armor, slow down, and build something real. Join the JHB tribe and keep an eye out for our next local event!

This isn’t your typical, awkward "singles mixer." This is a beautifully facilitated, sober-friendly social experiment designed to completely bypass shallow small talk and get straight to the "good stuff."
🚨 NOTE: THIS IS NOT EXCLUSIVELY A SINGLES EVENT. Whether you are single and hunting for a romantic match, completely taken, or just looking to expand your circle with an awesome tribe of like-minded friends—this space is open to anyone seeking deeper, intentional human connection.### How the Afternoon Works
- 🚫📱 The Digital Detox: Upon arrival, check your phone into our secure detox station. No screens, no digital escapes—just raw, real-time presence.
- 🧺 Curation & Contribution: Every guest plays a vital role in our ecosystem! Upon booking, you’ll be contacted and assigned a community role as either a Provider (bringing a picnic blanket and finger snacks) or a Host (bringing drinks and a quick 3-minute tabletop game/icebreaker prompt).
- 🎯 Facilitated Group Games: One hour of guided social play and connection exercises designed to break the ice effortlessly.
- 💬 1-on-1 Speed Meet & Greet: Rotate through a series of intentional, timed conversations using a personal story-driven item you've brought along (like a favourite book or trinket).
- 🌅 The Afterparty Transition: The official lab wraps up at 16h00, but the connection keeps moving! The entire tribe is invited to migrate to a nearby local restaurant immediately afterward for an early dinner and drinks.
### The Details
- 📅 When: Saturday, 04 July | 12h00 – 16h00 (Plus dinner afterwards!)
