Meet & Match #2 (The Well - Nine Yards: Rosebank): Picnic & Play | Ages 30–55

*Picnic & Play The Well Special Event*

This isn t your typical, awkward "singles mixer." The Connection Lab is a facilitated, sober-friendly social experiment designed to completely bypass the shallow small talk and get straight to the "good stuff."

While this is **not exclusively a singles event**, the majority of attendees show up looking to meet potential romantic matches, while others join to meet new potential friends or simply to have a fun, conscious afternoon out. We always encourage those who are there purely for friendships to make that clear and transparent in their interactions. It is a safe, grounded space to practice presence, set clear boundaries, and experience authentic connection.

*Targeted Age Group (30 55 Years)*

Curated for a targeted age range of 30 to 55 years to ensure strong, relatable group dynamics and shared life stages.

*The Venue & Experience*

Set at **The Well within Nine Yards (Rosebank)**, experience a brand-new location with an incredible, calming, and healing vibe! The Well recognised as one of the most prestigious wellness spaces in Johannesburg.
