Walk and discuss how we get to a brighter future together. 2-4 PM, November 19th, 2026. This hiking tradition began years ago when David Hodgson and I, Bobby Fishkin, started gathering multi-disciplinary collaborators for hikes. Do you have an inter-disciplinary interest addressing global challenges and in reaching a future fit for our future selves? Do you want to de-risk hypothetical ways to change the world in real time together? Are you a social innovator, a solarpunk, a systems change leader, a multidisciplinary agent of change?

Bay Area Singles Relational Lab - Facilitated Connection Experience
Mon, Nov 16, 2:00 AM**Tired of dating apps and conversations that go nowhere?** **What if meeting new people could actually feel good again?** When we started Conscious Connections, I interviewed hundreds of people about dating and connection. And I kept hearing the same things: *"I'm tired of swiping and having the same conversations over and over."* *"I just want to meet someone I can have a real connection with."* *"Dating feels so superficial these days."* *"I'm exhausted by dating apps. I want to meet people in real life."* Underneath all those frustrations was the same longing: to meet people we can be ourselves with. To laugh, feel at ease, have meaningful conversations, and discover where a genuine connection might lead. ๐ง๐ต๐ถ๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ณ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ป๐. Two hours that give you energy instead of taking it. Playful, warm, alive. People often leave surprised by how quickly strangers can feel human, honest and real again. ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ฃ. ๐ $59 to book your place, and hear from people who've been: [https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join](https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join) Each booking is a place in our monthly Relational Lab.

We'll do our best to place you in it, or you'll join the following one. ๐ช๐๐๐ง ๐๐ฆ ๐ฅ๐๐๐๐ง๐๐ข๐ก๐๐ ๐๐๐? A guided connection experience for singles who want more honest, playful, emotionally intelligent interaction. Less performance. Less pressure. Far less small talk. ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป. ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ. ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น ๐๐ผ๐. It's a facilitated relational container rooted in psychology, emotional intelligence, attachment work, social dynamics, nervous system awareness and real-world human connection, made practical enough that you can actually live it instead of reading another 50 books about it. ๐ช๐๐๐ง ๐๐๐ฃ๐ฃ๐๐ก๐ฆ \- Two hours of live\, guided connection games from your own couch \- Cameras on\, everyone present: you laugh\, play\, move and engage \- Facilitated in real time by Eloah\, with 15 years of experience\, and shaped around whoever is there \- An optional in\-person gathering afterward for those who join the session\, where applicable \- A WhatsApp thread to stay connected\, where applicable ๐ช๐๐๐ง ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ ๐ง๐๐๐ ๐ช๐๐ง๐ ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ \- The felt experience of being fully yourself with people you just met \- Relational tools you carry into dates\, friendships\, family and every room you walk into \- For some\, new friends\, a whole new circle\, even a partner\.

For 2 hours, you step into a parallel world where strangers stop feeling like strangers. We play connection games designed to drop the small talk, meet our common humanity, and exhale into the ease of being yourself with others. For some, it's the first time they've ever felt this. You're in control at all times, choosing your edges: playful and light, or bold and deep. Often, the lighter we play, the deeper it gets. We've seen people make lifelong friends, meet partners, even heal their relationship with a parent. It isn't therapy. It's what becomes possible when a space is held this well. ๐ ๐ฑ๐ผ๐ป'๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ผ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ญ๐ผ๐ผ๐บ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐น๐น. ๐ช๐ต๐ ๐ผ๐ป๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ? Neither would we, if the only calls we'd been on were meetings that drag on or webinars where someone talks at you. This is the opposite. Everyone's camera is on, everyone's playing, and you feel connected within minutes. Facilitated with mastery, online is as powerful as being in the room. We know, because we've run both for years. You come exactly as you are, from your own couch, with no outfit, no commute and no awkward entrance. Most people leave lighter than they arrived. ๐ช๐ถ๐น๐น ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐๐ฎ๐น๐น๐ ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ผ๐ฝ๐น๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ป ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ผ๐ป? After the online session, you're invited to an optional gathering in person, where applicable. It's your chance to practice what you've learned out in the world, without the small talk. Eloah chooses the place and time with care, based on who was present, the weather, what's happening in the city that day, and sometimes what the group discovered about each other's passions and hobbies. ๐๐ผ๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ ๐น๐ฎ๐๐ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป? The tools are yours for life. You'll notice them on your next date, in your next hard conversation, at your next dinner with friends. People come back months later and tell us how differently they now walk into a room. ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ณ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ผ๐บ ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ฝ๐? Dating apps are a tool. Connection games are a tool, too. What matters is how they're designed, how we use them, and the intention we bring. Here, you're among people who chose to show up with curiosity and a genuine desire to connect. Instead of trying to impress someone through a profile or a string of messages, you experience one another in real time. You discover how people listen, laugh, express themselves, navigate vulnerability and respond to others. And you get to notice how you feel in their presence. ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ณ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ผ๐บ ๐๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด? It's slow dating, and the long game is the shortcut. Instead of pairing you up, rotating you and praying for chemistry, most games are played with everyone together, so you meet each other as humans first. Many people leave with new friends, some with a whole new circle, and if more develops over time, it grows from a solid foundation. On a first date, people show their best face. Here, you see the full face, and your chances of falling for a real, imperfect human are much higher. ๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐๐ฟ๐ฎ ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ฎ ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐น ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐? This is a connection-to-self-first space. Many people who ask this have had experiences where things got sexual or romantic too fast, and it felt forced. Sexual energy is one of the most powerful energies there is, and it deserves respect. Here, you connect to all of yourself first, and then to others as whole people. You learn relational frameworks you can play as gently or as boldly as you choose. Some people arrive mending a broken heart, unsure they even want to date again. Others arrive ready for something wild and alive. Nothing is pushed on you, and you move at your own pace. ๐ช๐ต๐ผ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ผ ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐? People who want more depth in how they meet others. Some are new to the city and rebuilding their circle. Some are coming out of a long relationship and wondering where to start. Many have full, busy lives and still want more. Plenty are introverts who would never walk into a bar mixer. What they share: curiosity, an open heart and readiness to meet their equals. ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ผ๐ฝ๐น๐ฒ ๐บ๐ ๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ? Sessions are open to every adult age, so who's there changes from month to month. What people share is readiness for real connection, and that tends to matter far more than a birth year. Many say their most surprising connection was with someone they'd never have swiped on, or who would never have swiped on them. ๐๐ผ๐ ๐บ๐ฎ๐ป๐ ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ผ๐ฝ๐น๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ? Groups are kept small by design, so you're never just watching a screen full of talking heads. Connection deepens when there's room for every voice. This is also where you meet your city's introverts: you thought you knew everyone, and they've been hiding. If you happen to be the only one on the day, it becomes a private 1:1 session with Eloah, normally $319, at no extra cost to you. ๐ช๐ต๐ $๐ฑ๐ต? You're investing in an experience most people never have, held by a facilitator with 15 years of experience. One game, one moment, can change the trajectory of your life. We keep it as affordable as possible so this glimpse of what's possible can reach everyone. We tend to overestimate the cost of doing something, and underestimate the cost of not doing it. Each session takes its own shape with whoever is present. Sometimes expansive. Sometimes intimate. ๐๐ผ๐๐ต ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ด. ๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ. ๐๐ ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐บ๐ฒ๐.

Volleyball. Training and Playing.
Sat, Nov 21, 5:00 PM1001 Great Hwy, San Francisco. Stairwell #17 across from the Beach Chalet. 9:00 start time. Ocean Beach Volleyball Meetup is a training-and-play event for players who want to get better, not just jump straight into games. Everyone starts with three short phases of VBX Volleyball training before open play. VBX is a no-net training system that helps players improve faster by giving them more touches, more rallies, and more chances to read, move, pass, set, and attack in game-like situations. After the VBX warm-up and skill-building phases, players move onto the nets for open play. As the group keeps improving, weโll also set up more courts geared toward doubles play for players who want a faster, more competitive challenge. All levels are welcome, but the goal is simple: train first, play better, and build a stronger Ocean Beach volleyball community. Let me know how I may help you! Come train, play, and grow with us. See you on the sand! Coach Dale VBX Volleyball Systems ๐๐๐ Questions? Message me here.
