About this Event

What happens when your Sunday afternoon becomes an adventure in authentic connection?

Join Portsmouth's experiment in putting humans back in human connection. After a week of screen fatigue and digital "connections," discover what face-to-face conversation feels like when strangers become real people, not profile pictures. WALK-INS WELCOME!


What You'll Experience

THE ADVENTURE:

  • Complete device-free environment for 3 hours
  • Conversation prompt cards to use during the event and take home
  • Optional 3-minute guided conversation experiences with adventure-themed prompts
  • Free participation - just show up ready to connect

Why Treeline?

Treeline Outfitters believes that adventure begins with connection - to nature, community, and one another. As both taproom and outfitter, they create spaces where people gather before and after outdoor adventures. With craft beverages (including low-ABV and non-alcoholic options), Treeline is the perfect Third Space for authentic community building.


What You'll Leave With
  • New connections with fellow Portsmouth community members
  • Conversation skills that work everywhere - from family dinners to workplace interactions
  • Sunday energy that actually prepares you for Monday instead of dreading it
  • Take-home conversation prompts to spark authentic connections anywhere

The Experience

This isn't networking, therapy, or forced team-building. It's an experiment in what happens when we put our devices away and remember what genuine human connection feels like. Whether you're new to Portsmouth, looking to meet like-minded people, or simply curious about authentic conversation, this experience is designed for anyone ready to trade screen time for real time.

Device Management: First 50 people get Yondr pouches (professional phone security pouches). Additional participants welcome with honor system device-free participation.

Ready to beat the Sunday Scaries with real human connection? Join us for Portsmouth's most adventurous social experiment. For more info, check out !
