Deep Chat

Have you been wanting to get crafty?
Feeling the fall spirit?
Ready to refresh your home with some cozy autumn decor?

Fall is here—come embrace the season and get creative with us!

In place of our usual Deep Chats, we’ll be painting pumpkins and making autumn leaf mobiles. We’ll provide all the materials, instructions, and inspiration you need, plus some fun spooky season questions to help spark meaningful connection.
The projects are beginner-friendly, so no crafting experience is needed to join in and have fun!

Why craft together?
Sometimes it’s easier to open up when your hands are busy—and creating side-by-side can help you relax, chat, and bond over a shared experience.

Fall-themed or Halloween outfits are encouraged!
We can’t wait to craft, connect, and celebrate the season with you!

We meet every other Wednesday from 7-9 PM at Jiaren Cafe in Santa Clara.
This is the special structure for this event:

• 7 - 7:30 PM: Introductions and community questions
• 7:30 - 8:50 PM: Crafting Time
• 8:50 - 9 PM: Closing and mingle time
• 9 PM: Optional After Hours Chats at Gamer's Haven

This event is $30, which DOES NOT include a drink from the cafe or snacks (as is typically included in the registration fee). We will have Halloween candy as a sweet treat!
