About this Event
The Reset Room Chicago: 60-Minute Screen-Free Reset
Most of the week asks you to respond.
Messages. Meetings. Notifications. Tabs. Decisions.
The Reset Room is one hour designed around doing less.
For 60 minutes, the room goes screen-free.
You will move through a gentle guided breathing practice, an immersive sound session and 15 minutes of silent journaling before closing with herbal tea and one reflection question to take into the rest of your week.
There is no presentation to watch and no networking requirement.
You can participate from a floor mat or a chair.
The objective is simple: create a quiet transition between the workday and the rest of your evening.
