Beyond Small Talk: Speed Relating
Facilitated by Somatic Sex Educators: Dr. Hazel-Grace Yates and Matia Divitt

This is for people who value presence, curiosity, and meaningful connection over polite small talk.

Spring has a way of waking things up. Curiosity. Attraction. The simple joy of meeting new people.

For this evening, we’re creating a space for chemistry, play, tenderness, and genuine spark in all its forms.

Through playful, guided connection exercises and thoughtful (and occasionally outlandish) questions, you’ll skip the surface-level talk and step into real conversation, playful movement, flirtation, laughter, and presence.

The focus of the night is meaningful connection. Romantic sparks and depthful friendships are equally welcome here. Sometimes connection begins with attraction. Sometimes with laughter. Sometimes with the simple relief of feeling seen.

You might meet a future lover, a new friend, a creative collaborator, or simply leave with a fuller heart and a renewed sense of human connection. This playshop is open to those seeking connection of any kind. Romantic, platonic, playful, or just deliciously human.

Your facilitators, Dr. Hazel-Grace Yates and Matia Divitt, are Somatic Sex Educators and Relationship Coaches with decades of combined facilitation experience.

Together they bring a facilitation chemistry that is playful, sweet, warmly inviting, and just flirty enough to help the room relax, open, and connect.

All ages (21+), gender expressions, and sexual orientations are warmly welcomed.

Come a little nervous.
Come a little curious.
Leave a little more alive.

Pre-Purchase: $30-$40
