About Conscious Dating Network
Where Hearts Meet and Souls Recognize Each Other
Conscious Dating Network (CDN) was founded by Jill Crosby in 2000 with a simple but pioneering vision: to create a place where spiritually conscious singles could find one another and form meaningful, authentic relationships.
That vision began with SpiritualSingles.com, the first online dating site created specifically for spiritually conscious singles. At a time when both online dating and spirituality were far from mainstream, Jill recognized the need for a community where people could connect based not only on attraction and common interests, but also on shared values, personal growth, spirituality and a deeper approach to life and love.
Over the years, SpiritualSingles.com evolved into Conscious Dating Network, a family of niche dating communities serving spiritual, mindful and environmentally conscious singles, including SpiritualSingles.com, GreenSingles.com, ConsciousSingles.com and MeetMindful.com. All sites funnel into the same, large database like different rivers flowing into the same ocean.
A Pioneer in Conscious Online Dating
Jill's journey in the dating industry actually began before Conscious Dating Network. Prior to launching SpiritualSingles.com, she worked for the oldest brick-and-mortar photo and video dating company in the world, where she managed franchises, helped turn around struggling offices and opened new locations
For nearly a decade, she continued working in the traditional dating industry while building Conscious Dating Network on the side. It was truly a labor of love.
In December 2007, Jill followed strong inner guidance, sold her home in Portland, Oregon, left her "day job" and devoted herself fully to Conscious Dating Network—even though the business was not yet generating enough income to support her. It was a leap of faith that would change the course of her life.
As Jill began stepping out from "behind the curtain"—writing, being interviewed, connecting personally with members and investing her full energy into the network—the community flourished.
More than 26 years after launching SpiritualSingles.com, Jill continues to be deeply involved with Conscious Dating Network and its mission: helping people find meaningful relationships rooted in authenticity, shared values and conscious connection.
More Than Online Dating
For Jill, Conscious Dating Network has never been simply a dating business. It grew out of her lifelong interest in spiritual development, meditation, healing, hypnotherapy, consciousness and our relationship with the natural world.
A certified hypnotherapist, inspirational speaker and retreat facilitator, Jill has spent decades exploring personal and spiritual growth. She has also been a longtime advocate for dolphins, whales and the oceans and has a particularly deep connection with wild dolphins.
Over the years, she has brought members together beyond the dating sites through gatherings and transformational experiences, including singles retreats, workshops, sacred-site journeys, SCUBA adventures and Wild Dolphin Swim Retreats in Bimini, where participants have had the extraordinary experience of swimming with wild dolphins in their natural environment.
Jill also interviews couples who met through Conscious Dating Network for the Success Story series, giving members an opportunity to hear directly from people whose lives changed because they found one another through the network. Watch the interviews here: https://www.youtube.com/@SpiritualSingles. She knows that experience personally as well—Jill is a Conscious Dating Network success story herself.
After more than two decades of watching relationships begin, friendships form, marriages unfold and lives change, Jill remains passionate about helping conscious singles find one another.
The Heart Behind the Network
Technology may make the connection possible, but people are at the heart of Conscious Dating Network.
Behind the sites is a dedicated team of programmers, designers and customer support professionals who genuinely care about the community they serve. Together, the team continually works to improve the member experience while maintaining something increasingly rare in online dating: a sense of authenticity, humanity and genuine connection.
Conscious Dating Network isn't about endless swiping or keeping people perpetually dating. Our goal is much simpler:
To help you find the person who makes you want to delete your dating profile.
Because sometimes the search ends when two souls recognize each other.
