You already know you're spending too much time on your phone.
This 1-hour live workshop gives you actually fun things to do instead: led by author, painter, and professional chaos-instigator, Nikita Andester

THE WORKSHOP
This workshop is for people ready to unleash their inner weird - or at least curious enough to give it a go! It’s an invitation to step gently outside autopilot and experiment with small, playful disruptions you can bring into everyday life to make things feel less predictable, less numb, and a lot more alive, all without defaulting to endless scrolling or hours of screen time.
This is for you if…
You catch yourself reaching for your phone out of pure habit, not because you actually want to
You feel vaguely numb or on autopilot and can't quite explain why
You want to do something different but "read a book" and "go for a walk" just aren't cutting it
You're curious, a little weird, or at least open to trying something that might feel stupid at first
Three exercises. One hour. No equipment needed.
A blindfolded walk around your own home that makes it feel unfamiliar again. A drawing made with the wrong hand that looks terrible and feels freeing. Getting dressed backwards: which is stranger than it sounds and more effective than it should be.
Each one is designed to do the same thing: remind your nervous system that the world is more interesting than your screen. You'll be able to repeat all of them at home, whenever you need to get out of your head.
MEET NIKITA
Nikita is an author, oil painter, and watercolorist, for whom watering her creative garden always comes first. During ten years listening in on art classes as a figure model everywhere from Moscow to San Francisco, she received her MA in Creative Writing from the University of Denver.
As a workshop and events facilitator, Nikita helps others discover how they can be as weird as they want, too – whether that’s teaching them to destroy books for erasure poetry, embroidering devil horns onto vintage photos, or writing short stories on a whip-fast deadline.
This is a 1-hour live workshop where you'll actually try things. Weird things. Small things. Things that work precisely because they're so simple you'd never think to try them on your own.
What You'll Do
Three exercises. No equipment needed. Just you, your space, and a willingness to feel briefly ridiculous.
Walk around your home blindfolded and notice how quickly your brain wakes up when it can't rely on sight
Draw something with your non-dominant hand — badly, wonderfully badly — and remember what it feels like to do something without pressure to be good at it
Put your clothes on backwards, feel strange for a moment, and realise that one tiny disruption is enough to shake you out of the fog
Every exercise is free to recreate at home, any time, forever. That's the whole point.
