conversations beyond the everyday.

Life is all about our close relationships - they literally lead to us being happier and healthier. Being known well by others, and knowing others well, is a fundamental human need. It’s essential that we have people around us for support during tough times, to celebrate our wins, and to provide the space to be our authentic selves.

These relationships need to be nurtured with quality time and energy. Which is where that conversations movement comes in. We encourage people to deepen their relationships through intentional conversations. The meaningful chats in which you feel seen, heard, and that fill your cup.

Our conversation events offer you a space to be curious and show appreciation for a friend, family member or partner. Our podcast provides inspiration for questions you’ll want to ask someone in your life. Our activity guides will help you get started in having deeper chats in your own time.

So join the movement that’s bringing a wee bit more empathy and love into the world - one conversation at a time.

attend an event.

Our conversation events are a facilitated experience 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.

The activities involve you responding to conversation prompts, sharing words of appreciation with one another, and taking a trip down memory lane together. You don’t chat to random people, or move around the room. 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.

Running in-person across the UK, North America and Australia, plus virtually with our online events.

Also available on request: a private conversations event. We offer a facilitated 90-minute experience for a group of you to form deeper connections, either in-person (limited locations, at a venue or we can come to you) or online using Zoom. Ideal for a family get-together, a group of friends geographically apart, or a gang of girlfriends planning an evening together. Minimum four people required - price will be discussed and agreed on during our initial chat. Send us an email to hello@conversationsmovement.com if you’re interested.

your conversations.

Christian in Glasgow Scotland, asked his great aunt questions about her life.

“I learned so much about a person I knew all my life, but didn't really know at all.
My personal highlight was how happy this conversation made her. I almost dreaded phone calls to my family because they can be tedious and small talky. Saying words without meaning. I don't like that.
This gave it meaning. I learned, we laughed, it gifted me a happy moment.”
Priya in Melbourne Australia, who attended a conversations event with her sister.

"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."
Sarah in Ohio USA, chatted to their aunt Mary, combining a few of the activities.

“It went well. She didn't want to be recorded and I told her that was totally fine.
She is currently in an assisted living facility, and I think she enjoyed being interviewed/someone taking an interest in her life.
Before I left, I thanked her for her willingness to try something new and participate in the interview, she responded, ‘anytime.’“
Loong in London UK, who attended a conversations event with his partner.

"We exchanged three words of affirmation of each other. We answered three questions about ourselves. The highlight was thinking about which three words I liked most of him, and the affirmation I felt hearing what he said about me. I feel seen."
Sean in Christchurch, New Zealand, talked with his wife and her nana.

"I wanted to capture the taonga (treasure) of stories from my nana in law - who has always dropped little pieces of her life into conversation over the years. It felt like it was important to dive deeper and hear more, so I organised a recording session where we can take our time and discuss her life.
Nothing short of amazing and I've captured it for the future. An amazing lady and she opened up about about many things we didn't know. I know my wife and I will treasure this time with her."
