🌀 F*ck the Small Talk #9

**🎟️** **Sign up here**: [🌀 F*ck the Small Talk: Wellington #9 · Luma](https://luma.com/ftstwellington9) After traveling around the world from Berlin to London to Lisbon to Malta to Mexico City, we are finally back in Wellington! 🇳🇿 **📦 WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?** FTST is a one-of-a-kind social experience where strangers come together for an evening of meaningful, fun, and deep conversation. It’s also a different & cool way of meeting new people by getting a bit out of your comfort zone and skipping the small talk! Join us for games, talks, and connections with friends you haven’t met yet. Join if you get annoyed after being asked what you do, where you are from, and how long you've been in Wellington every single time you meet someone. If you feel that there are better questions in life, then this is the place for you 🙌 **📓 HOW DOES IT WORK?** We start with a short & sweet intro talk followed by a few light-hearted group games to warm up. After that, we split you up into small groups and start with the conversation rounds (with 3-5 people). We'll have awesome question cards that will guide the flow of the conversation. You’ll never have to speak in public if you don’t want to 🍭 **🕹 HOW TO JOIN?** Our events are limited to **30 guests** to ensure a **cozy** **atmosphere** (*more than that is a party!*) We prioritise a balance in gender and cultural diversity. **Request** **to** **join** **above,** and we'll give you an answer in less than 48 hours! **🧧 HOW MUCH IS IT?** The cost to attend is $**23-$25** and includes the following: ⏰ 3 hours of facilitated and curated activities 🙌🏽 Access to the Llamas in Wellington Community on WhatsApp 👥 A space to meet new people in the least boring way possible 💛 Supporting our mission to spread human connection events around the world *(🎫 also includes those annoying ticket fees!)* **🌳 WHERE IS IT?** ​We host our events in awesome bars & parks across the city. The exact location will be revealed once we confirm your spot! 🎟️ You'll be able to **check out the neighbourhood at the bottom of this page**. **💛 WHAT THEY SAY** 🗣 “Great way to connect with people in a more meaningful way. Get to the heart of the matter, dive straight into what really counts!” - Matthias 🗣 “F\*ck the Small Talk changes the narrative from "Where are you from?" to "When was the last time you laughed uncontrollably?" and I think that's beautiful.” - Monika 🗣 “I loved F\*ck the Small Talk, I was a little bit nervous at first but they are pros at making you feel comfortable with the rest of the group, the activities are really fun and I enjoyed every second (consider that the one who's saying this is very, very shy). Give it a try!” - Brenda 🗣 "It’s a wonderful experience, it’s like being a kid again, when you were at the park, playing with other kids, and just decided you were going to be best friends for the next hours. Maybe you’ll never see those kids again. But that hour was amazing because you both opened up and trusted each other." - Sara [More Google reviews here 👈](https://goo.gl/maps/TpZy77bfPFkGoikn7) **🤓 FAQ** **• What's the age range?** Most people who come to our events are between 24 and 38 years old. **• Can I come alone?** Of course, we encourage it :) **• Can I be late?** Please don't! Late arrivals will disrupt the floooooooow. **• I signed up but never got an invite. Why?** We usually get a high volume of sign-ups yet we like to keep it cozy & only invite around 25-30 people. Please try again next time if do not receive an invite - no hard feelings 💛 **• Why do you charge?** We value our time and put a lot of love, planning, and effort into creating & designing these experiences. ♥️ This is our project/business and what we give to the world and we think everything should be a fair exchange! 🎈 However, money should never be the reason for people not to attend. If you can’t afford it send us a message! **• Can I bring my pet llama?** 100% yes, any *well-behaved* pets are highly encouraged as long as you can still focus on connecting with the humans around you! Especially llamas. Please confirm with us beforehand. **• Can I get a refund if I can't make it?** Unfortunately, we do not offer refunds with less than 48 hours' notice.
