Westerkerk Unplugged | Digital Detox Special Edition
After the grand success of our first-ever church event, Westerkerk Unplugged, we're back with another special edition. The Offline Club, the Westerkerk, and De Kwekerij is organizing Westerkerk Unplugged 2.0.
Lock your phone away and discover the beauty of an offline life in one of Amsterdam’s most iconic buildings.
Together with De Kwekerij we have put together a brand new program that will allow you to unplug, slow down, and let your creativity run its course.
Each corner in the bright, spacious church will hold its own theme, allowing you to engage in a variety of unplugged experiences.
Reflection corner: A space for reading, journaling and reflection. Write a letter to someone you're thankful for, meditate, or reflect on your life. We will bring some of our favorite books, but you’re welcome to bring your own (poetry) book or journal.
Creative corner: A space to draw, sketch or paint, and add your share to our shared art piece, which all 150 guests will collaboratively create.
Connection corner: A space for authentic human connection with like-minded people. Meet strangers or catch up with friends through (silent and non-silent) connection games and activities.
While engaging in our unplugged experiences, you will be able to listen to live music played by two amazing musicians, who will use the great acoustics of the church to create the most angelic sounds for your ears.
Free coffee and tea is included.
This special edition event ensures you have blocked off, screen-free time in your agenda. It allows you to slow down and refocus, enhance your creativity, reconnect, re-energize and reflect.
