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!

CC JHB: Toroko Hike - Sunday Aug 30th
Location not specified yetThis Sunday, Conscious Connections is hosting a casual Tribe Hike at the stunning Taroko Trails (Modderfontein Reserve)! It’s an informal, low-pressure, and energising morning out designed to help us reconnect with nature, enjoy the fresh air, and connect organically on the trails.
🚨 CRITICAL NOTE: You must confirm your spot to ensure you don't miss the herd at the starting line.
📲 HOW TO CONFIRM YOUR SPOT: RSVP here on Meetup, then message Yuri ASAP on WhatsApp (+27 72 389 4625) so he can add you to the dedicated WhatsApp communication group where we are locking in final details and trail coordination.
### What is the Tribe Hike & Market Social?
It is a relaxed space for movement, deep conversation, and shared laughs in nature. Here is the quick breakdown of how the day works:
- 🥾 The Trail: We gather to hit the scenic Taroko trails at 08h00 sharp. It's the perfect mix of river views, open landscapes, and winding paths to get the heart rate up while maintaining plenty of breath for genuine conversation.
- ☀️ The Flow: We'll walk, talk, split into casual pacing groups, and take in the scenery along the way. It's a strict "No Small Talk" zone where the trail does the ice-breaking for us.
- 🍔 The After-Party: Once we crush the trail, the day doesn't end there! We will head straight over to the famous 4ways Farmers Market for some incredible food, refreshing drinks, and relaxed social connection to refuel and share stories.
### Trail Highlights & Features
- Duration: ~2.5 – 3 hours
- Vibe: Scenic reserve paths, fresh air, river views, and a post-hike market feast!

- 💬 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, souvenir, or trinket).
