Monthly Circle For Singles. Modern Dating, Human Relating

# Monthly Circle for Singles. Modern Dating. Human Relating.

Facilited By: Dating & Relationship Coach Annie Lavin & Marysaba Mennuti, a Life Coach and Conflict Mediator

Dating today can feel confusing, exhausting, and at times surprisingly lonely. Many people are asking the same question: Is there a healthier, more meaningful way to date?
If you've found yourself feeling tired of dating apps, questioning modern dating, taking a break from relationships, or simply curious about how we connect with one another, this monthly circle offers a space to slow down, reflect, and have honest conversations with like-minded people.

Join us for a relaxed outdoor gathering in Jardim da Estrela, where we'll explore dating, relationships, and emotional connection in an open, supportive, and judgment-free environment.

This is not a speed dating or matchmaking event. It's a facilitated group conversation where everyone is invited to share experiences, listen with curiosity, and learn from one another.

Each month we'll explore a different theme.

For our first circle, we'll be discussing:
What is most challenging about modern dating?
Together we'll reflect on questions such as:

• Why does dating sometimes feel so difficult?
• What gets in the way of genuine connection?
• How can we approach dating in a healthier, more authentic way?

Whether you're actively dating, newly single, taking time for yourself, or simply interested in the conversation, you're very welcome.
No therapy, coaching, or personal development experience is needed. Just bring curiosity, openness, and respect for others.

The circle is facilitated by Annie Lavin, an Accredited Relationship Therapist and Dating & Relationship Coach, and Marysaba Mennuti, a Life Coach and Conflict Mediator. Together, they create a warm and respectful space for thoughtful conversations about dating, relationships, and emotional wellbeing.
Everyone is welcome. We embrace all genders, sexual orientations, and relationship backgrounds.

## Community Guidelines

• What's shared in the circle stays in the circle.
• Listen with curiosity, not judgment.
• No unsolicited advice.
• Share only what feels comfortable.
• Kindness and respect are essential.
• This is a discussion space, not a matchmaking event.

## What to Bring

Please bring a blanket or cushion to sit on, water, and anything that helps you feel comfortable, such as a notebook or journal.
We'll keep things relaxed, informal, and, hopefully, enjoy some Lisbon sunshine together.
Come as you are, and leave feeling a little more connected.
