Save your seat: https://www.ambrosia.events/dr-hazel-grace-yates/events/beyond-small-talk-speed-relating-event-1Have you been craving connection and real presence?
Maybe even a cuddle buddy or a cozy collaborator to share the wintering season with?
Well, this is your invitation.
🍂 Autumn is here. The nights are getting longer and it’s a beautiful time to gather, get curious and find your 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 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.
