Community Feedback

  • “The sheer joy I experienced could not have happened without Global Day of Unplugging. I'm really glad I participated.”

    Joana

  • “While it might seem gimmicky at first, it really is liberating to put down your devices and just interact with others. I don't feel the same pressure to be constantly in the know when I'm separated from my smartphone. I enjoy living more because I'm not focused on the next email or text. I'm able to exist in the moment, and that is the best gift I've given myself in nearly 15 years.”"
