Experience what happens when people put their phones away and have real conversations.

Portsmouth, NH and the Seacoast

Creating device-free spaces where authentic connection happens.

Third Space Experiences facilitates gatherings where people put their phones away and connect through guided conversations. Whether you're meeting strangers, deepening existing relationships, or connecting with teammates, our experiences help you move beyond small talk to meaningful connection.

Six people are sitting around a table on a patio, engaged in conversation. In the background, there is a scenic view of a pond and greenery outside.

Join 12-16 people for 90 minutes of genuine conversation in a completely device-free environment. Through three rounds of small group discussions with rotating participants, you’ll move beyond surface-level interactions to meaningful connection. Most people leave surprised by how much they shared and learned in such a short time.

Connect with New People

Two women sitting across from each other at a wooden table, engaged in conversation. The woman on the left has shoulder-length brown hair and glasses, wearing a light-colored turtleneck sweater, with a cup of coffee and a glass of water in front of her. The woman on the right has long hair and glasses, wearing a dark top, holding a cup of coffee. The background features an exposed brick wall, a framed black-and-white city map, and a window with natural light.

Attend with your partner, friend, or family member for a curated connection experience designed to help you see and hear each other in new ways. In a supportive group setting with other pairs, you'll engage in private conversations using conversation prompts that go beyond daily logistics to meaningful exchange.

Deepen Existing Relationships

Custom connection experiences for any private group seeking deeper relationships through meaningful conversation. Whether friends, family, book clubs, or organizational teams, these facilitated sessions create lasting change in how people relate to each other beyond surface-level interaction.

Transform Your Group

“I was pleasantly surprised! The evening was delightful, and the curated talking prompts, along with a phone-free environment, supported a shared presence and depth of connection that doesn't typically happen right away. It's not always easy to meet and make new friends these days, especially when so many of us work from home. I left with some new connections I am excited to foster. I highly recommend!”
