Ready to get your hands dirty and make some dynamite friendships in the process? We’re delighted to announce Unchatter: An Artsy Connection Experience!

About This Event

This series of 3 deep-dive experiences brings a beautiful blend of science and creativity. You can expect hands-on art therapy exercises with a sprinkle of psychology research that will help you explore the unspoken, tap into shared experiences, and build meaningful relationships. (And did we mention it’s gonna be FUN?!)

This is an intimate, cohort-based experience designed for connection enthusiasts of any level. We will be capping attendance at 15, so when tickets are gone, they’re gone! One ticket gets you into all 3 events.

Event Dates

27 September

What to Expect

Something we believe deeply at Unchatter is that meaningful connection shouldn’t be a one-off event; it’s a living, breathing practice to take to the kitchen table, the office, and even the supermarket check-out line. This is where we put the best of our connection goodness to work in real life! Facilitated by Natasha (founder of Unchatter and belonging researcher) and Ruchita (trained art therapist from Fidgetie Fingers), you’ll be thoughtfully led, gently challenged, and playfully taught.

This event is highly experiential – in other words, not too much talk (just enough to clue you in on the research behind the practices) and a whole lot of action. We want you to feel the difference this makes in the way you connect. You’ll be guided through evidence-based exercises disguised as a heck of a lot of fun.

Come as you are. Whether you’ve been to fifty Unchatter events or none, you’ll fit right in. By the end of this series, you’ll have gone on an epic journey of self-discovery, seriously levelled up your connection skills, and perhaps best of all – cultivated some of those elusive 3 AM friendships that will last long after you’ve put down your art supplies.

FAQ

· This is quite different from your traditional events. What was the inspiration behind it?
One of the challenges we experience with our traditional Unchatter events is that it can be tricky to maintain the through-lines of connection that are created among the beautiful humans who attend. By having a cohort that moves through several events together, attendees will be able to build deeper relationships and progressively build on their connection skills. If there’s enough demand, we may consider offering one-off events next year, so sing out if you’d be into it!

· Do I need to bring my own supplies?
Nope! Unless you're partial to your own paints or picky about your pencils, everything you need will be supplied. Just bring your curiosity and kindness.

· Will you feed me?
Of course! Good things happen when there's food on the table. Expect some seriously legit goodies (think finger foods that are mostly vegan and gluten-free) along with a smashing array of beverages. Please note this is a non-alcoholic event.

· What if I can't attend all 3 events?
This will be a small cohort, and the cohesion of the group relies on attendees moving through the series together. You'll also be progressively building on your connection skills with each event, so this is the best fit for people who can attend all 3 events. If you can't make this series work but would be keen to attend a one-off event in the future, let us know and we'll aim to make it happen next year!

· Can I get a refund if something comes up that prevents me from attending all the events?
Because the costs are fixed, there will be no refunds available for this series.

· I want to attend but I can't afford it. What are my options?
For our traditional events, we always offer koha options to ensure cost is not a barrier. With this series, the capped number of attendees and the cost to run the event mean that we are not able to offer any discounts. If you're super keen, please reach out and we'll do our best to work out a payment plan or explore other options with you. In the meantime, check out our traditional Unchatter events!

· Do I need to print my ticket?
Just bring the email verification you received with the QR code. (Not to worry, we can still check you in manually if you forget!)
