About us
Welcome to Conscious Connections Pta!
Are you completely exhausted by superficial small talk, endless digital swiping, and awkward networking mixers? So are we.
This group is built for anyone in South Africa looking to step away from the digital noise and build genuine, intentional, and distraction-free human connections. Whether you are single and looking for a meaningful romantic match, or simply wanting to expand your inner circle with a tribe of like-minded friends, this is your space.
What we do:
We host beautifully curated, sober-friendly social experiments, connection labs, and casual weekend activities (like relaxed group hikes, game afternoons, and photo walks). Our signature events feature unique mechanics like digital detoxes (phones checked at the door), structured group games, and double-blind 1-on-1 matching rounds designed to get straight to the "good stuff" in a safe, low-pressure environment.
Who this group is for:
Anyone wanting to practice presence, set clear boundaries, and experience authentic relating.
People who value real-world conversation over curated online profiles.
Please note: This is not exclusively a singles group. We welcome anyone who values deep connection, personal growth, and good community energy.
Let's drop the digital armor, slow down, and build something real. Join the tribe and keep an eye out for our upcoming local events!

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.

WHAT IS THE CONNECTION LAB?
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 partner, 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, you are invited to switch off your phones. No screens, no digital escapes—just raw, real-time presence.
- The Visual Matching Board: Choose a unique conversational card at check-in. The back will reveal your initial table network of 6 people.
- Table Games & Guided Play: One hour of light-hearted group play and structured icebreakers designed to break the ice effortlessly.
- The 1-on-1 Connection Lab: You are invited to switch your phones back on so you can easily swap details as you rotate through a series of intentional, timed 1-on-1 conversations using our custom Conscious Connection prompts.
- The Afterparty & Dinner: The official facilitated Lab wraps up, leading straight into the social magic! We transition together for dinner and drinks nearby so the entire tribe can stay on-site as the sun goes down to keep the conversational momentum flowing.
