About this event
- Event lasts 1 hour 30 minutes
Our close relationships are essential to a happy and healthy life ❤️.
They need to be nurtured with intentional conversations that go beyond everyday chats 💬.
That’s where a conversations event comes in. It’s a facilitated experience that you attend with a friend, family member or partner.
You sit across from each other in a relaxed, casual setting and engage in a few structured activities. You set the time aside to spend with someone you care about, and we create a space where phones are put away for you to attentively listen, learn and share 📵.
Typically there are three activities. For example, one of them involves you writing down three words you’d use to describe the person you’re with, and then spending ten minutes swapping those words and sharing your appreciation for one another.
You don’t chat to random people. The full experience is with someone you know, and by the end of the event you’ll feel a little closer to whoever you’ve attended with 👥.
But don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what some previous attendees had to say:
"We exchanged three words of affirmation of each other. We answered three questions about ourselves. The highlight is thinking about which three words I liked most of him, and the affirmation I felt hearing what he said about me. I feel seen."
Loong in London UK, who attended with his partner.
“We’ve known each other our whole life, but this was the first time we have sat together and told each other to each other's face what we love about one another and it brought us closer than we imagined.”
Kerri in Glasgow Scotland, who attended with her best friend.
"It was great to connect with my sister in a relaxed but meaningful way. Often we only get deep when facing difficulties and those conversations are overlaid with stress. So to talk in a relaxed way was special."
Priya in Melbourne Australia, who attended with her sister.

Frequently asked questions
Someone in your life you’d like to spend some intentional time with. It works for all relationship types. At our events so far, half the attendees have been friends, a third have been couples, and roughly one in five pairs have been family members.
Unfortunately no. The purpose of the event is to deepen a relationship you already have, and you cannot participate in two of the three activities with someone you don’t know.
Nope. You’ll be spending the time chatting to whoever you attend with. Our host may ask people to share reflections on the conversations in between activities with the room, but there’s no pressure on that.
Nope. Our activities are designed to be light-hearted and positive. The act of showing appreciation is a little vulnerable, but there’s no pressure to get incredibly deep and certainly not with anyone you don’t know.
Each ticket is entry for two people and pays for your facilitator’s time, paper and pens, conversation activity cards, and in some cases venue hire fee. Depending on the location and venue, there may be other things included in your ticket (see the bottom of this description for specific details).
We typically limit our events to a maximum of 10 pairs (so 20 people), to keep the intimate and casual feeling. Some venues have slightly smaller capacities, which is indicated by the number of tickets available detailed at the bottom of this description.
