Ready to get your hands dirty and make some friends in the process? We’re delighted to announce Unchatter x Fidgetie Fingers: An Artsy Connection Experience!
About This Event
This experience 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 create and connect.
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 (art therapist from Fidgetie Fingers), you’ll be thoughtfully led, gently challenged, and playfully taught.
This event is highly experiential - in other words, lots of beautiful conversation and making cool stuff. 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.
Unchatter has always been grounded in science, and the science on connection & creativity is clear. Creativity (more than sleep, scrolling, or a weekend away) is one of the most effective antidotes to burnout. We also know from decades of research that the quality of our relationships is the single biggest predictor of a happy life.
This workshop tends to both.
Come as you are. Zero art experience required, all supplies provided. Whether you’ve been to 50 Unchatter events or none, you’ll fit right in. Can’t wait to create with you!

FAQ
· 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.
· 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!)
