Happy Hour & Unplug Event

​I am so passionate about this mission. The first time I saw people gathering without their phones was so wonderful, they were talking, playing games, reading by themselves or engaging in other activities.

​I was in Europe and the old church was filled with people, who had left their devices at home.

​It almost felt "nostalgic" and I had a thought, to bring that idea back home. What if we could gather without our text messages, without our emails, without our playlists and cameras for just a few hours? What does it do, how does it feel, how can we be in these moments, fully engaged, feeling a little free maybe?

​It is not a new concept to 'lose' your devices for a bit and enjoy a mindful and peaceful quiet time, but it is different being with a group making this commitment for a few hours together. Creating this space and time together is truly profound and full of stories, laughter, faith and friendship.

​Last year my mission came to fruition and it was so much fun! I want to keep creating STOP events, and invite you to join this STOP event in April!
