First Course
Attend
Each dinner is curated based on age group, core values & lifestyle alignment. You’ll enjoy a delicious meal, beyond the surface conversations and feel the sparks fly naturally.
Main Entrée
Align
When there’s a mutual spark, we will facilitate the introduction. We set you up on a date where you’ll explore whether there’s genuine compatibility, chemistry, and alignment. Afterward, our team reconnects with you to reflect on the experience and support your next step.
Dessert
Attune
We provide ongoing relationship support to help you navigate communication, vulnerability, conflict, intimacy, and growth, where we rewire your patterns, deepen connection, and build a relationship that continues to evolve.

FAQs
Who is UNION for?
1
People who are ready for a real relationship. We're open to all ages, orientations, and ethnicities. What we screen for isn't a demographic, it's emotional readiness. Each dinner is curated based on age, values and lifestyle alignment.
Who is UNION not for?
2
People looking for something casual. People who want us to hand them a perfect partner without examining their own role in past relationships. And people who aren't ready to be seen. Our dinners go past small talk fairly quickly.
Is this just for straight singles?
3
No. We host dinners for queer singles as well, curated the same way, by age, values, and lifestyle alignment.
What's the $85 for?
4
It covers your application review and your Relationship Alignment Session: a real conversation with our team about your values, your patterns, and what you're looking for.
Is there a cost beyond the $85?
5
Each dinner is an additional cost of $250. You will receive an invitation at least 2-3 weeks in advance and can choose to attend or not. Relationship Coaching is optional, starting at $250/session.
Does UNION match across ethnicities and faiths?
6
Yes. Our members come from every background. If cultural or faith alignment is important to you, that's part of what we discuss in your alignment session, and we take it seriously as a value, not a preference to talk you out of.
There isn't a standard timeline. Some members may receive an invitation within a few weeks, while others may wait longer depending on compatibility, demographics, and the composition of upcoming dinners. We prioritize creating exceptional matches and conversations over filling seats quickly.
How long does it usually take to receive an invitation?
7
What if I don't connect with anyone?
8
You will stay in our database and continue to be invited to future dinners. If you find somebody outside of our dinners and would like to be removed from the database, just let us know. We do not refund the $85 fee - but you can apply it towards a coaching package.

Kai, 42Meet the Founder, Sana Akhand
I’ve always loved bringing people together.
Since college, I've hosted dinner parties and built communities, from Friendship Club in New York City to Growth Club in Los Angeles, where strangers became friends, roommates, business partners, and even spouses. Over the years, those gatherings have sparked countless meaningful relationships, including more than 10 marriages.
I've never thought of myself as a matchmaker. I've always been fascinated by what helps people feel deeply connected, to themselves and to each other. That curiosity led me to study psychology, somatic regulation, attachment theory, and conscious relationships while coaching hundreds of individuals and couples. This work also transformed my own marriage.
My husband and I didn't build a thriving relationship by finding the "perfect" partner. We built it by learning how to communicate differently, regulate our nervous systems, and meet each other with honesty, curiosity, and compassion.
This journey led me to one question: What if people learned how to relate consciously from day one?
That's why I created UNION. Meet intentionally. Love consciously.
