Conscious Dating is a process where an individual is making a mindful choice of exploring the possibility of a romantic relationship. It involves practices that help them to stay in touch with their own truth and lead to self growth. When we date consciously, we enter into a much different, and kinder, agreement. We agree that it's okay to be alone. We agree that we're enough. We agree we will be there. Dating no longer remains just a search for a partner, it becomes a joyful adventure of deeply knowing and loving ourselves and others. This helps nourish a bond that is authentic, open, curious, playful, mindful and creative.

The conscious dating retreat is a playground to learn and practice conscious dating with an intentional group of singles. It is a facilitated safe space for them to connect in an immersive and fun-filled environment over a weekend. The group spends time talking, connecting, moving, breathing, introspecting, reflecting, playing, drawing, painting and dancing together! They get equipped with tools to date better and together. They form bonds, from and with their most authentic and real selves. Do check out our events page for more details.

“Aren’t you dissatisfied with dating apps and bored of texting?” Dating is like shopping these days. You swipe, and you approve or discard humans, not things! Endless swiping, judging largely on the basis of appearance or assets, and chatting routinely with different people in the same way, becomes a mindless and heartless activity. It is dry, boring, tiring and brings fatigue more than anything else. So we bring an alternative never done before in India! A place where you can meet, eye to eye, face to face, heart to heart in various ways and situations that are curated for the retreat experience. Do check out our events page for more details.

There are two kinds of conscious dating retreats, residential and non-residential. For residential retreats: ₹16,000 to ₹36,000. These retreats are being offered on a sliding scale and you can pay anything between the two amounts. This is in order to accommodate and respect people from different economic backgrounds, and at the same time, acknowledge the worthiness of this work. We encourage you to pay the highest you can by stretching slightly above your paying capacity so that we can continue to feel nourished enough and offer this to everyone.

A residential retreat is designed with a stay of 3 days and 2 nights at a naturally serene and beautiful location. You experience the real Prem-a-Culture conscious dating flavor and feel in this one, as you get to go deeper into dating each other and building a better understanding of relationships. A non-residential retreat is designed for 2 full days (without a stay) in a city. A speedier version of residential retreats, it has the quirkiness and pace of a city. The participants would be expected to attend the sessions each day and head back to their respective homes. Both the retreats are usually hosted on a weekend and are followed by two online one-on-one sessions as well.

We have chosen a beautiful serene farm, in the abode of nature with trees, birds and lake. The accommodation will be modest, clean, and airy. It will be a shared accommodation, not individual rooms. Women and men will have separate spaces.

Short answer is, Yes you may! Long answer starts with the question, how does anyone find their partner? Well, when we ‘meet’ people, of similar age, similar mindset, similar seeking, in a safe and fun environment, with an open mind, something Clicks! At our retreats, we are doing just that. Creating an environment of openness, vulnerability, authenticity and safety for a heartfully and carefully selected set of singles to come together and try it all out.

No. We don’t select people on the basis of their caste/community. We select them because they are willing and open to date consciously. We don’t ask for preferences either. Preferences are super malleable and can change completely if the situation/circumstances change. Preferences, thus, become barriers (instead of structures) in finding a partner.

You go home, take some rest and continue the journey with Prem-a-Culture. We offer two online one-on-one listening sessions to share and process anything around your dating journey. This will happen with a trained counselor and you can avail of this offer in the month post the retreat. You will have everyone’s contact details (with consent) and access to a WhatsApp group (with consent) to continue engaging with the group, deepen friendships and sharpen healthy flirting techniques. You will become a Prem-a-Culture conscious dating community member and get access to a larger pool of consciously dating singles in the upcoming months. We will also keep you updated on upcoming retreats and events.
