Valentine’s Day often frames love through romance and partnership, yet one of the most essential forms of love for human wellbeing is often overlooked: platonic connection. From an evolutionary and neurobiological perspective, the nervous system does not distinguish sharply between romantic and non-romantic bonds — what it responds to is safety, attunement, and belonging.
This ritual of remembrance invites singles into a reframe of love — one rooted in connection rather than coupling. Drawing on attachment science, nervous system regulation, and social neurobiology, we explore how platonic relationships regulate stress, support emotional resilience, and create the secure base from which we navigate life.
Participants will learn how the body recognises safety through shared presence, mutual care, and co-regulation — and why meaningful friendships, community ties, and chosen family are vital for mental and emotional health. Through guided reflection, simple somatic practices, and gentle nervous system settling, we’ll explore how to cultivate deeper connection without the pressure of performance, attraction, or outcome.
Rather than asking “Who am I meant to love?” this session invites a quieter inquiry:
“Where do I already feel seen, supported, and safe?”
This practice is especially supportive for:
singles seeking connection without romantic expectation
those rebuilding trust after relational loss or burnout
anyone wanting to strengthen their capacity for belonging
individuals cultivating self-connection as the foundation for all relationships
Love does not begin with romance — it begins with being met.
And platonic love, when nurtured, becomes one of the most powerful regulators of the human nervous system.
