Encinitas, CA
Welcome to our Unplugged Village®
Since 2009, hundreds of thousands of Global (formerly National) Day of Unplugging participants have joined the movement to elevate human connection over digital engagement in their cities across the globe.
There are several people building up the unplugged community in Encinitas. Karen Cook of the Wyldflower Collective offers Community Wellness Experiences so families can thrive. Her events foster a sense of community, and give you space to pause and play + sometimes learn something new. Check out the website for the full list of the latest community events, including Global Day of Unplugging events, Campfire Sessions for Moms and Tween girls as well as their signature Camp Wyld family retreats, Momma group coaching and a Momma podcast.
Olivenhain Farms and San Dieguito Heritage Museum and the Leucadia Farmers Market have both joined the movement with fun scavenger hunts for families. Olivenhain, is a nonprofit, offering farm-based learning programs, rooted in community, growing through nature. At Olivenhain Farms, they create hands-on experiences that reconnect families with the land, with each other, and with what really matters in a world that sometimes moves too fast. Keep an eye out for “Gnomeo” who will be hiding amongst the other farm animals like Sweet Pea the Pig. Everywhere you spot Gnomeo is a good place to unplug.
On Sundays (10am-2pm) you can look for clues at the Leucadia Farmers Market to try and spot “Sammy Seal” who is hiding at a different vendor booth each week. You may even get lucky and catch Karen Cook joining Sammy or Gnomeo on occasion, providing arts and crafts activities for the kids!
Fun at the Leucadia Farmers Market in Encinitas - Sundays 10-2.
