About Us
The Center for Better Relating Inc believes that better relating is possible. At a time when technology has left us isolated and atomized, we seek to be the antidote.
Our flagship offering, ‘The feels’, is an IRL singles event that seeks to create an immersive environment for ppl to connect in depth.
At present, we have installments in NYC, LA, SF + DC, with MIA coming in Feb ‘25.
At an inflection point, ‘the feels’ seeks to substantially grow the number of events, and the number of people reached, in the coming months and years.
To that end, we’re seeking to hire a LA City Lead, who will work closely with city-specific producers, to organize and guide each event smoothly from start to finish.
