Dating & Relationships Between Worlds · Messy Hearts Circle

  • Delight Factory 303 Saratoga Avenue Brooklyn, NY, 11233 United States (map)

About this circle

Dating and relationships can already feel complicated. Maybe family, religion, gender roles, distance, or timing are part of the story. Maybe you’re trying to build intimacy while carrying more than one idea of what love is supposed to look like.This evening is for anyone trying to make sense of dating and relationships between worlds. A place to put some of those tensions into words, listen to others, and feel a little less alone in the mess of it.

​This is not therapy, not coaching, and not a place where anyone will analyze or attempt to fix you. It’s a small, facilitated group space for grounded reflection and gentle connection.

​Who this is for

All religions, genders, sexualities, and relationship statuses are welcome. The circle is secular, queer-affirming, feminist, and anti-racist.

​What we’ll do together

Over about 2 hours, we’ll move through a mix of:

  • A gentle arrival and check-in to help everyone land in the space

  • A few guided prompts around identity, belonging, and living between worlds

  • Simple communication exercises to support how we listen and speak with each other

  • Time for structured sharing, where you can talk from your own experience if you’d like, and also time to simply listen

  • A brief closing so people can leave feeling grounded rather than raw or rushedThe exact flow may change, but the intentions stay the same:
slow down, notice what’s true for you right now, and be in a room where other people are doing the same.

​How we hold the space

At the start of the circle, we’ll agree to a few simple guidelines, including:

  • Confidentiality: stories stay in the room

  • Consent: you only share what feels okay for you

  • No fixing / no advice unless someone explicitly asks

  • Speak from “I” and let others have their own experienceYou’re always allowed to pass on a question or just listen.
