Explore brain health in the age of scrolling and discover real, screen-free ways to boost dopamine, calm, and connection.
About this Event

In a world designed to capture our attention, many of us feel scattered, overstimulated, and stuck in the scroll cycle. Research continues to show that micro-distractions, including smartphones, can interfere with our ability to concentrate, which can negatively impact our focus, sleep, mood, and overall cognitive well-being. But here’s the good news: we don’t have to quit technology to feel better. By learning to be intentional with technology, we're able to reclaim time that can then be put towards more meaningful and enjoyable hobbies.

Join us for a cozy, hands-on wellness workshop where we’ll explore:

  • Why attention is one of your brain’s most valuable resources
  • How passive scrolling affects focus, sleep, and stress levels
  • The rise of the “analog renaissance” — and why tactile hobbies are trending
  • Why replacing a habit works better than restricting one

After a short, engaging lecture on brain health and digital wellbeing, you’ll design your own “Analog Bag” — a tote designed to hold simple, screen-free activities you can grab instead of your phone. Think books, puzzles, journaling supplies, knitting, sketching, or whatever helps you reconnect to the present moment.

This isn’t about a digital detox. It's about training our brains to remember other sources of dopamine, calm, and connection.

Tote bags and supplies to decorate the bag are included.
