Feels Academy — Fall 2026 — New York City
werkshops
five evenings.
hundreds of NYC singles.
hours of education.
one goal: date + relate better.
The stuff no one ever taught us about dating.
This fall, Feels Academy presents five live workshops designed to make you feel more equipped to take on the most important skill(s) of all: building human connection.
The Premise
Dating culture hands us apps and algorithms, but almost no tools. No one teaches us how to flirt without performing.
How to have the conversation we're terrified to have. How to break the cycles we can feel ourselves in but can't seem to stop.
That's what these evenings are for.
Each werkshop is a small, facilitated gathering — equal parts education, practice, and connecting w fellow attendees.
Each topic has been chosen by our thousands' strong NYC community of singles, in response to their needs.
You'll leave with actual tools. And probably some people you'll want to see again.
The Series —
Five Werkshops
Come to one. Come to all five. Each werkshop stands alone — but together, they tell a full story.
what to expect
These sessions are small by design.
They're facilitated, not lectured.
You'll be asked to participate — but never in a way that feels forced.
Space to be honest + clear, to the extent you feel called, will be available.
Real life tools to use 'in the wild' will be gained.
New connection(s) w people you'll want to stay in touch with will be made.

FAQ
Who is this for?
Anyone who is dating, thinking about dating, or trying to understand why dating feels so hard right now. You don't need to be single to attend — but most people who come are.
Do I need to come with someone?
Nope. Most people come alone.
How many people will be there?
These are intentionally small gatherings. Expect somewhere between 15 and 30 people, depending on the evening.
Is this like therapy?
No. But some things might land like it. These workshops are educational and experiential — you'll walk away with tools and frameworks, not a diagnosis.
What if I've never done anything like this before?
That's exactly who these are for. The only requirement is some level of curiosity and a willingness to show up.
