Mindful Swiping: Dr. Marie Thouin’s Framework for Humanizing Online Dating (Free For Plura+ Members)

This workshop will be held online and is FREE for Plura+ Members.

WORKSHOP INFO:

Dating apps hold immense potential for meaningful connection—but let’s face it, most are designed to hook our attention and maximize profit from our longings, often leaving our self-esteem and well-being in the dust.

The good news? With an intentional mindset and strategy, we can reclaim our power and turn online dating into a tool for self-discovery, true empowerment, and authentic relating.

In this eye-opening workshop, Dr. Marie Thouin will guide us through her signature Mindful Swiping Framework, a game-changing approach to navigating dating apps with intention, radical authenticity, and balance. This isn’t about tricks or hacks—it’s about cultivating genuine connection with others AND with technology, while staying true to yourself and your values.

What You’ll Learn

This engaging, interactive class will equip you with practical tools and insights to transform your online dating experience:

✨ Rituals: Master the art of setting powerful intentions, maintaining digital wellness, and creating a mindful swiping practice.

📸 Profile Creation: Learn how to showcase the real you in a way that does not feel yucky, using photos, prompts, and other media that's rooted in authenticity.

🧠 Discernment: Develop the self-trust to swipe, message, and engage with clarity and purpose.

💖 Loving-Kindness: Resist dehumanizing the process! Instead, do the radical thing: cultivate genuine CARE for yourself and others online.

The best part? These are transferable skills way beyond dating, so there is no wasted time with this practice.

What This Is (and Isn’t)

🚫 Not a gimmick or manipulative dating “hack."

✅ A transformative journey into self-discovery, empowerment, and relational growth through developing a "right relationship" with technology.

Who It’s For

🌈 Folks of ALL different backgrounds and relationship styles are welcome—this workshop is about using online dating in SERVICE of our truest selves!

Looking forward to seeing you there!
