Digital Detox: Reclaim Focus & Unplug
A quiet, phone-free gathering exploring attention, rest and the small habits that help us return to what matters.
Archived theme overview
Digital Detox was a slow, phone-free theme built around the simple question of what a day looks like when the screen is not in the room. It leaned on quiet, breath, walking and small analogue rituals rather than productivity frameworks, and asked participants to notice the pull of the device before trying to change it.
