**Introduction:**

Step into a new realm of connection at "Mindful Dating - the ENM/Poly edition" hosted by Mindful Dating Eindhoven. Prepare yourself for a unique and eye-opening experience that goes beyond traditional dating norms on July 31, 2026, starting at 19:30. This event will take place at the enchanting Light on Yoga venue located at Kruisstraat 53 in Eindhoven.

Embark on a journey of self-discovery and open-mindedness as you explore the concept of polyamorous relationships in a thoughtful and mindful way. Engage in meaningful conversations, guided activities, and interactive sessions designed to deepen your understanding of polyamory and enhance your dating experiences.

At "Mindful Dating - the Poly edition," you'll have the chance to meet like-minded individuals who embrace non-traditional relationship dynamics and value authenticity and emotional intelligence. Whether you're curious about polyamory or already immersed in this lifestyle, this event offers a safe and welcoming space to connect, learn, and grow.

Don't miss this extraordinary opportunity to expand your perspectives and foster genuine connections in a mindful and respectful setting.

These events are guided, but always optional. You’re free to participate at your own pace.

**Practical Information**

These events are approximately 3 hours long and guided throughout.

We’ll move through a variety of exercises, prompts, and forms of interaction designed to support genuine connection in a grounded and relaxed way.

Wear clothes you can comfortably move in, sit on the floor in, dance in, and feel good in.

Tea and light snacks will be served throughout the evening.

Alcohol and drugs are not permitted during the event. If you are visibly intoxicated, you will be asked to leave without a refund.

All genders, orientations, relationship structures, and levels of experience are welcome.

Whether you are solo poly, partnered, married and open, relationship anarchist, newly exploring, or simply curious, you are welcome here.

For this edition, there will not be a strong emphasis on maintaining traditional gender balance, as the space is intentionally designed around openness, fluidity, and diverse relational dynamics rather than conventional dating norms.

**The Vibe**

Together, we co-create a respectful, communicative, and non-judgmental space where you are welcome to be yourself. No performance necessary.

Consent, honesty, transparency, and relational awareness are deeply valued here. We encourage a culture of clear communication, respect for boundaries, and openness about intentions, desires, and relationship dynamics.

All exercises are completely optional, and you are always free to take a break or step out at any time.

At the same time, we encourage everyone to approach these moments as opportunities for meaningful human interaction — even when you feel certain someone is not “your match.” Everyone can be your teacher.

If you stay open, it’s often surprising what kinds of conversations, moments, and connections can emerge with the most unexpected people.

**After the Event**

After the guided portion ends, there is space to stay, mingle, drink tea, talk, and dance if you’d like.

If you connected with someone and would like to stay in touch, you are welcome to approach them openly and respectfully and ask whether the interest is mutual.

Please communicate clearly, respect boundaries, and remember that no one owes romantic, sexual, or emotional availability.

An honest no is completely welcome here. At the same time, this space is intentionally created to allow for open and respectful approaches, so there is no need to feel awkward or out of place for expressing interest.

There will also be a WhatsApp sign-up sheet available afterward for those who would like an easier way to stay connected with people from the evening.

Your comfort and privacy are important to us.
