About Event

Queer Unplugged is a movement toward mindful tech use, deeper community, and radical self-care. Our phone-free gatherings blend workshops, art, music, and community to nurture real-life connections, celebrate queerness, and support mindful self-care beyond the scroll.

15:00 - 15:20 - Arrival window > 📵 Bye-bye phone (we'll keep it safe) > 🧸 Pick your cozy corner > 🧘‍♀️ Settle in

A quick welcome + what to expect
(We promise it’s not a TED Talk)
