do you feel anxious without your mobile devices? 
do you use them and lose track of time or direction? 
is your intention in using them different from the impact?

this course could be for you.
this course could be for anyone living
in today’s technological landscape
who feels off and wants things to change.

over 30 days we will look honestly at the relationship we have with our mobile devices, trying out simple small changes to create a greater sense of ease in our bodies and increased ability to focus and finish tasks. we will leave with some tools which can be used over and over to bring us back to ourselves. individually, we will practice mindfulness and self-compassion as tools for change, while collectively we will access the accountability present in community support.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

with registration you will recieve:

+ a 90 minute class on Zoom
first outlining why this shift is important:
-who benefits from our distraction and online engagement?
-what is happening inside our bodyminds when we plug in?
-how do these machines hold such power over us?
with time to reflect and discuss why this change is important for you: 
-what do you love that has fallen away?
-what would you do with more time in your day?
-how do you feel, and how do you want to feel?


+ access to a private Discord server for one month
in which daily assignments and prompts will be posted,
where all attendees can discuss their experience of the journey.
we will cycle through days of noticing, assessing, preparing, and taking action,
leading up to a 24 hour separation period 3 weeks into the course. 

+ a 90 minute closing session on Zoom
in which we will process the experience in small groups and all together,
closing the container and giving us strength to continue what has been started.
