CONSCIOUS CONNECTIONS
BRISBANE
Friday 16 October
Unplugged Yoga, 224 Waterworks Rd, Ashgrove
ABOUT THE EVENT
Looking to meet new people – friends, or a potential romantic interest? Had enough of the superficial hook-up, swipe culture that dominates today’s dating scene? Searching for a beautiful experience for you and your partner to share?
Conscious Connections is a new concept beginning for the first time in Brisbane. In this space you can return to real life, face-to-face human interactions, which enrich your soul and enable you to make new friends and maybe find that special someone you are looking for. Humans are meant to experience life in heartfelt togetherness and Conscious Connections helps to facilitate this.
In a warm, safe and relaxed atmosphere, you will have the opportunity to:
- Experience encounters that go beyond superficial conversations.
- Connect with others through exercises that open the heart and create moments of authentic connection.
- Discover what it means to truly see yourself reflected in the eyes of another.
- Learn more about how to express yourself with greater authenticity, more depth and to be centred in your soul no matter who you interact with.
Who is it for?
This isn’t your average speed dating event. We welcome single people as well as couples; people who are looking for a romantic partner, as well as people who are looking to make new friends. It is also for couples who want to have a special ‘date night’ that is out of the ordinary box. The only prerequisite is to be open, curious and ready to expand your horizons in new ways. It is for those who are well-versed in gatherings of inner exploration as well as those who are completely new to such experiences. Come with an open heart and be amazed at the gifts the universe may bring your way.
This evening could be the beginning of a relationship that will transform your life. Or it could be an unforgettable experience in which you meet many wonderful people and learn something new about yourself.
Nina & Alex will be your evening facilitators. As experienced teachers of yoga, meditation and tantra, they heartfully invite you to explore the depths of soulful interactions in a safe and inspiring space.
Dress Code: Dress to impress (smart casual)
Limited places. We aim to have an equal balance of men and women in order to make the event run in the best way possible.
Your Host
Nina Thallon
With more than two decades of experience in spiritual practices and life coaching, Nina weaves together the principles of conscious communication to create a deeply nurturing and awakening space for personal and relational growth.
Nina has always been fascinated by relationships and the complex role they play in our lives. When she discovered the spiritual teachings in 2002 it brought a paradigm shift for her in her understanding of relationships and their true deeper value and meaning. For Nina, relationships represent a powerful tool for self-knowledge and when consciously approached, an efficient way to transform on all levels and in very enjoyable ways!
Whether you’re new to this journey or seeking to deepen your path, Nina’s events is an invitation to explore your relationships as a conscious practice and get even closer to awakening your full potential.
Alex MIhai
As a world champion athlete in his youth, Alex experienced the limits of the physical body to the maximum. Empowered by his intense life of training, he turned his attention inwards more and more, becoming fascinated by the possibilities of the human consciousness. His life is now focused on constantly pushing his inner limits, while helping others to do the same.
With a caring presence and a grounded yet light-hearted approach, Alex guides others toward inner transformation as the foundation for outer connection.
In 2010, Alex began to recognise the profound importance of cultivating deep, conscious relationships. To him, relationships are powerful mirrors — reflecting our inner world and offering us the opportunity to grow, transform, and realise our highest potential in a loving and honest way.
What will happen?
You will have the chance to interact with several participants through various activities designed to create authentic encounters. Each exercise will help you put aside your masks and approach those around you with sincerity. The atmosphere will be relaxed, without pressure, but providing the necessary space for special moments. You do not need to have prior experience in such events or be an expert in relationships – all you need is an openness to explore and a curiosity to meet people in a different way. All exercises will be guided by the facilitators.

what people are saying
"Saturday evening connected me to something beautiful, gentle, grounding, and loving within me and with the other special people who had been drawn to come. As the evening progressed, I felt myself relaxing, feeling an embodied sense of openness, love, and joy. Nina and Alex facilitated the event had a huge role to play towards this. The Senses experience we shared was especially meaningful. There was a quiet and privileged intimacy in it — not just sensual, but deeply human and spiritual. I left feeling more connected to my body, more present, and a sense of nourishment. I would absolutely recommend the experience to others."
Ramakrishna
"This was a truly wonderful experience! Nina and Alex were so warm and welcoming, and they quickly got us all feeling comfortable. The activities allowed us to connect with each other on a deeper level that I have never really experienced before (in a good, safe, fun way!) and I left feeling so joyful. It was also lovely to connect with some new people and make some new friends."
Cara
"Wanted to share how deeply grateful I am for Saturday night. The space you held felt so safe and sacred, and it allowed something really powerful to move through me. I came home with a profound realization — that the identity I’ve been telling myself I am is just a collection of concepts. There was such freedom in that awareness. I still feel deeply embodied from the experience. Thank you for holding that kind of container. It truly matters."
Kellie
"What stood out most at Nina and Alex’s workshop was the beautiful balance of strong feminine and masculine energies — something I have rarely experienced in other workshops. The space they created was both peaceful and powerful. It was exactly what I had been hoping to find: a couple with the same level of awareness facilitating together. That is very difficult to find — but not anymore. I highly recommend their work. There is very little out there that offers this level of integrated masculine and feminine presence. Come to the next one and let’s connect there—I will definitely be there."
Felipe O.
"What really stood out to me was the calming presence of Alex and Nina - they facilitated the event in a relaxed, casual way that immediately put me at ease and into the right frame of mind to create light-hearted but deep and authentic connections with the other people in the group. I felt that the different activities they selected throughout the night was a perfect progression for bringing people together in a natural, unforced way. I found that the event not only reminded me of the importance of being present with the people around me but also how important it is to stay present with myself. I would definitely recommend this to anyone, the workshop was a fantastic way to meet new people in a warm-hearted, casual environment that encourages deeper connection."
Matt P.
"I recently attended Conscious Connections, and it was very different from conventional dating or speed dating. Innovative activities encouraged us to step out of our comfort zones and connect from the heart, engaging our emotions, senses and holding space for the joy in our lives. There was always the option to opt out of any activity, which made the space feel safe, respectful, and non-pressured. What really stood out was the atmosphere: a safe, kind, and loving space that reminded us all of what’s truly important in creating relationships—heart space, presence, and genuine connection."
Kitty
"I arrived at the event feeling cautious and a bit nervous, though I was certainly excited to see what was in store. By the time I left, those nerves had completely vanished, replaced by a sense of being warmed and loved. The partner interactive exercises stood out the most, facilitating a depth of connection I hadn't expected. Most importantly, the experience shifted my mindset—I now truly believe that I deserve to find the right partner. I’d recommend this to anyone looking for an alternative to the digital dating grind; it’s a beautiful blend of self-discovery and genuine human connection."
