About us
We’re committed to making every event welcoming and accessible for everyone. If you have mobility concerns, sensory preferences, or any other accessibility needs, we’ll work with you to make sure you can fully enjoy the experience whether it’s choosing wheelchair friendly venues, ensuring events are in low stimulus environments when needed, or providing clear communication in advance so you know exactly what to expect. Just let us know how we can support you, and we’ll make it happen.
We typically meet every two weeks, rotating between weekends and weekday evenings so there’s always a chance to join no matter your schedule. Each event is thoughtfully designed to be more than just a meet and greet we’re talking cooking classes, scenic hikes, wine tastings, game nights, and small group dinners so you can connect naturally, without the pressure of traditional dating scenes.
Our long term vision is to create a community where singles don’t just meet, but truly grow together. We want to foster deeper connections that lead to lasting relationships, built on shared values, genuine conversation, and real experiences. Over time, we hope to see friendships form, couples emerge, and a supportive network develop that extends beyond the events themselves.
If you’re tired of swiping and small talk and ready for something real, this is your invitation. The Elevated Journey Empowered Singles group is for people who want to meet others with the same intention to build something meaningful. We keep things fun, relaxed, and focused on real connection, so come as you are and take an elevated step forward in your journey to love.
