We believe in the kind of magic that happens when strangers sit down and talk like friends.
What happens when you combine the science of belonging with a room full of open-hearted humans? Something like this.
Grounded in psychological research, this experience weaves together science, reflection, and conversation to help you connect in ways that feel real, nourishing, and human. You’ll be gently guided through experiences that invite you to show up just as you are, and to connect in ways we don't often get to in daily life.
Whether you're feeling curious, disconnected, or just craving something real, come and spend an evening with us. If you're into conversations that matter and connection that goes beyond small talk, this is for you.

About This Event
This isn’t just an event — it’s an experiment in belonging.
Don't worry, you won't have to jump into the deep end straight away. We kick things off with some party principles and gently ease into the good stuff with connection exercises designed to help you feel at ease. As the experience unfolds, you'll find yourself in conversations that are equal parts meaningful and fun.
Need a break from the buzz? There's a quiet zone just for that. Our compassionate Connectors are on hand all evening to support anyone who needs a buddy, a check-in, or a gentle nudge into the next convo. You'll get exactly what you need every step of the way.
This is a thoughtfully curated experience for introverts and extroverts alike. If you're a human and want to feel like you matter, you belong here.

FAQ
· What should I bring?
Curiosity, kindness, and an open heart.
· Do I need to print my ticket?
Nope, just bring the email verification you received with the QR code. (Not to worry, we can still check you in manually if you forget!)
· What if I'm an introvert who hates parties?
No sweat! We've tailored every part of the evening to make you feel like you belong, whether you love all-night ragers or quiet corners. We'll be keeping a special eye out for folks who might be feeling awkward. The whole point of this event is meaningful connection, and we'll make sure you get it!
· What if I'm an extrovert who's a pro at this connection stuff?
Fabulous! The real magic happens when we've got a beautiful blend of personalities and connection styles.
· Do I need to register in advance?
Yes, please! We don't accept walk-ins, so we can keep the vibe cosy and ensure a meaningful experience for all. This also allows us to reduce the time spent on check-in and jump right into the juicy stuff!
· What's the difference between waged, unwaged, and koha?
Waged tickets are for folks who are employed, and unwaged tickets are for students and those who aren't working full-time. You can also contribute a koha amount so we can provide tickets to people who wouldn't be able to attend otherwise. The experience is the same regardless of your ticket type; we just want it to be accessible for everyone.
What if I can't afford a ticket? Reach out and we'll find a way to welcome you in.
· When should I arrive?
Please arrive in plenty of time to grab a beverage, get settled, and be ready to kick things off about 15 minutes after the event start time. The beginning sets the tone for everything that follows, so we'd love to have you there from the start.

Kind Words
“I just want to say that I have NEVER attended an event that was that inspiring!”
"Thank you for an incredible evening! Loved everything about it and feeling so grateful to be part of the magic."
"I absolutely LOVED Unchatter! I've been telling people about it since the event. It was a very unique event and completely achieved the goal of being able to connect at a deeper level."
"I loved the scientific explanation of the exercises and what happened in the body with what we were doing. I could feel a lot of love and preparation and dedication behind the experience. The setting, the areas, and the delicious snacks made me feel comfortable and well looked after."
"Amazing evening! Still feeling so connected."
