GOING
OFFLINE
A mindfulness based digital detox and social fitness reset
Do you ever feel like your brain has been hacked by your phone?
In the digital age it is ‘normal’ to spend 7 or more hours a day motionless infront of a screen. The super computer in our pocket has become an essential tool for communicating and navigating modern life. However, constant connectivity also comes at a cost to our focus, mental health and ability to spark and build real relationships in the offline world. How we see ourselves and other people is increasingly shaped by immersive technologies designed to be addictive and hack our attention and innate drive for deep meaningful connection.
4 weeks to more focus & friends
GOING OFFLINE is a 4 week mindfulness based digital detox and social fitness group coaching experience designed to help you reflect on your relationship with your device of choice and reclaim more time and focus for connection and community offline.
THIS COURSE IS FOR YOU IF:
> Your phone is starting to feel like a personal appendage that you can’t live without
> You want to be more focused and present at work and home
> You want to feel more connection, creativity and joy in everyday life
> You want to reset your attention palette for more self care, deep work and community building in the real world
This course discusses topics including loneliness, self perception, social anxiety and addictions. While meditation can be benificial for many mental health conditions this program is not therapy and is for perosnal growth purposes only.

WEEK 1: Cultivating mindfulness & attention
The first session introduces mindfulness meditation as a foundation for resetting our relationship with technology and reconnecting with the basic goodness and joy in the real world
WEEK 2: The digital samsara and self compassion
Through self compassion we develop a foundation of unconditional friendliness towards oneself while working with habitual patterns online and off.
WEEK 3: Facing boredom, FOMO & loneliness
For heavy phone users going offline can feel like going through the fire. Instead of reaching for a device for a quick hit of cheap dopamine we can learn to slow down and open to the connection already present within ourselves and offline world.
WEEK 4: Social fitness & creating a better party
Like physical fitness, the hardest part of improving social fitness is getting out the door. Regardless of your relational goals, intimacy begins with vulnerability and making small daily bids for connection.
