Webinar: Re-thinking relationship expectations (romantic & platonic)
Details
Let's talk about the way we connect as humans in the modern world.
In a world where dating apps, shifting identities, and global mobility are reshaping how we connect, what does it really mean to build relationships - romantic or otherwise - that feel authentic, rewarding, and sustainable?
Join Alysia Tofflemire, Berlin-based certified matchmaker and founder of Alto Matchmaking, and Tess Mueske, LGBTQ+ matchmaker based in Madrid, for a live fireside chat about rethinking relationship expectations in the modern world.
Together, we’ll unpack how ideas about love, partnership, and friendship evolve - especially for expats and queer communities navigating new cultures, distances, and definitions of connection.
What to Expect
✨ An honest conversation about what we expect from partners and friends, and how those expectations serve (or limit) us.
🪞 Journaling prompts throughout the session to help you explore your own relationship patterns and desires. Make sure you bring a pen and paper!
💭 Q&A space to ask questions or share reflections live (optional).
🌈 LGBTQ+ inclusive & globally minded discussion - all are welcome.

Thursday, December 4

Who it's for
This conversation is for anyone who’s ever questioned:
- What “relationships” actually mean today
- How to identify and communicate your boundaries in relationships
- Why friendships can feel just as important (and complex) as romantic relationships
- How to unlearn expectations that no longer fit, and how to protect your energy
Whether you’re single, partnered, exploring, or redefining - this space is for reflection, not judgement.
