We are constantly expected to reply, scroll, consume, update, react, and stay available all the time. Sometimes it becomes so automatic that we forget what it feels like to exist without being perceived through a screen.

So this time, we want to invite you to slow down and connect with us for one evening.

📅
Saturday 30.05, 13:00-17:00
📍
Skapis, Aristida Briāna iela 9a, Centra rajons, Rīga, LV-1001

Want to participate? No need to register, just come, bring a friend or find yourself one there.

“It’s Okay To Be Offline” is a gathering-hangout situation focused on taking a break from digital noise. No productivity, no pressure, no need to perform or constantly document yourself, but a challenge to meet people and connect without phones or social media. Are you in?

We’ll spend the evening talking, doing our art or hobbies (crochet, reading our books, writing, drawing, painting, just bring your materials), playing games, listening to music, drawing, journaling or simply sitting together. You are welcome to participate however it feels comfortable to you. You can come with friends or alone.

✨
Why offline?
Being constantly online can leave our nervous systems overwhelmed without us even noticing it. Endless notifications, comparison, doomscrolling, and pressure to always be reachable can make it difficult to feel grounded and connected to ourselves and others. Taking intentional breaks from screens, even briefly, can support us immensely.

🌿
What will happen?
• Upon arrival, we will invite everyone to put their phones away or be silent for the evening.
• There will be conversation prompts, games, and cozy corners to relax in.
• You are free to socialize, quietly exist, and bring your own games and hobbies to immerse yourself in.In the space there will be several games, conversation prompts and then you are welcome to bring your books, notebooks, pens, markers, crochet materials and anything that you want to enjoy and play around with.

We really hope to see you there.
