Rachel Barehl
Founder of in good company
Hi, I'm Rachel and I’ve been planning activities for community and connection since I was a little girl. As an 11-year old it looked like hosting a 3-day camp for five-year-olds. In my late teens, I co-hosted dinner parties in Amsterdam; in my twenties I turned my house into a concert venue and welcomed hundreds of people and dozens of bands (RIP Iuka House!)
I’ve spent a decade listening to stories & capturing the lives of others as a photographer, having access to beautiful, sacred spaces, doing my best to reflect each humans beauty back to them.
I like to think of my calling as a matchmaker, dating doula, and connector a creative, grounded and fiercely hopeful force for good.
faq
Am I a VIP client if I sign up for this?
I only take one or two new VIP matchmaking clients a month, it's a much larger investment of time, energy, resources on both of our parts. This hybrid workshop is the DIY “Community Matchmaking” version. We get to know each other better throughout the course, which makes matching a lot more natural. You won't have the all hands on deck approach that my VIP clients get, but you will meet great new people and will be top of mind as I keep my eyes open for great humans.
How should I show up?
I invite you to show up to the calls with an open heart and an open mind. I'll pose some discussion questions, share the best of the best dating advice I've collected in my years of study & give you a chance to try some things out, in good company. Everything from knowing what your values are, polishing up your “must have” list, having better, more meaningful conversations, and knowing how to tune in to your own knowing, how to evaluate when to keep going and when to end things with a potential partner.
Can you promise I'll find love?
Definitely not! But I now have proof that these dating shifts and tools have led to greater sense of authenticity in relationships, date with empathy during early days miscommunication and really creative ideas for creating and arriving in spaces with people you want to be around. Since I started setting my clients up on dates, I’ve gotten feedback from my clients and their matches, that they appreciated the dating protocols I implement. It feels good to have this information in the hands of daters, whether you're dating my clients or not.
Will you match me with your clients?
Only if it's a mutual match! I will be more inclined to set you up as I know you and what you want more, and you’ll already have my preferred dating framework down!
What if I can't make it live?
That's okay. While I'd like for as many people to be as present as possible, the main sessions will be recorded and delivered via email within 48 hours. I encourage you to try to make it to as many of the invitations as you can.
What can I expect outside of class?
All of our conversations will take place in the containers of class times and bonus activities. There is optional homework each week.
ready to date differently?
We believe that Black lives matter, and that Love is for everyone.
We celebrate and welcome people, partners, and families of all kinds,
colors, religions, and abilities in this space and this work. Let's hold each other accountable, because when we know better, we do better.
10% of the funds from this course will go to Abortion Fund of Ohio.
