Prism Hearts: Conscious Queer Speed Dating

Heart-centred Speed Dating for Bisexual, Pansexual, & Queer Cuties

Wednesday, Feb 18th, 2026 at 6:30 pm

Full carrying Mesa Shaman D’orjay Jackson, Astrologer Salem Zurch, and Art Therapist Nicole Bodnaresk invite you to Prism Hearts, a unique dating experience created for bisexual, pansexual, and queer individuals seeking meaningful connection. 

This is not a typical speed dating event. Prism Hearts is where connection unfolds through thoughtfully designed experiences that gently move you out of the nerves and into the heart. Through astrology, energy work, art-making, guided conversation, and play, you’ll be invited into connection in a whole new way, one that is grounded, meaningful, and authentic. It’s a space for those who value authenticity over small talk, where chemistry is sparked through creative prompts, gentle structure, and the exploration of the five love languages.

Expect thoughtful icebreakers, oracle prompts, astrology readings, collaborative art-making, and mindful moments designed to support nervous systems, deepen presence, and open the door to genuine connection. Whether you leave with a new romance, a kindred spirit, a stronger self-partnership, or a renewed sense of belonging,  we hope you’ll walk away feeling seen, inspired, and deeply connected to your community.

Doors at 6:30 pm. Start time at 7:00 pm. Introductions and opening space at Dolly's Cocktail Bar. Dolly's Cocktails
