The Boredom Breakthrough: Rediscover What You're Avoiding

Details

When did you last feel truly, deeply bored?
If you can't remember, you're not alone. Most of us reach for our phones the instant we feel unstimulated, missing out on the insights and creativity that emerge from genuine boredom.

This isn't your typical "digital detox" workshop. We're doing something radical: deliberately creating boredom and sitting with the discomfort until breakthrough happens.

## What to Expect:

  • 3 hours completely device-free (phones locked away)
  • Periods of intentional "nothing" - no tasks, no stimulation, no rescue
  • Simple, repetitive activities designed to trigger restlessness
  • Moments that will feel uncomfortable, even "pointless"
  • Surprising discoveries about what your mind does when it can't escape

## This Workshop is For You If:

  • You automatically reach for your phone during any pause in activity
  • You feel anxious when your battery dies or wifi cuts out
  • You've forgotten what your own thoughts sound like without digital noise

## This Workshop is NOT For You If:

  • You want entertainment or feel-good activities
  • You're looking for meditation techniques
  • You can't handle 3 hours without checking messages

By the end, you'll understand why your phone might be protecting you from insights about yourself, and you'll have tools for inviting productive boredom back into your daily life.

What to bring: Just yourself. We'll provide materials.
What to leave behind: All devices and expectations of being entertained.

Ready to meet the parts of yourself you've been avoiding?
