How to use the Torch Dashboard to plan your next gathering

An Unplugged Gathering isn’t just an event – it’s an act of leadership. You’re inviting people to put down their digital armor, show up fully, and connect in a way that feels rare and revolutionary.

Yes, it can feel vulnerable. Yes, it can feel a little awkward. But that’s exactly why it matters – and why your role as a Torch Member is so powerful. You’re helping spark a shift in culture, one phone-free moment at a time.

This dashboard is your playbook. Draw from proven tools and ideas tested in schools, businesses, and communities everywhere. Then make it your own. Each gathering you create lights the way for others to follow.

Let’s carry the flame forward – together.
