Sunset Disconnect: A Real-World Digital Detox at Primrose Hill

Details
Step away from screens. Step into presence.
A personal invitation to join a pressure-free, phone-free gathering at sunset.
Hi, I’m Zubair.
Nine months ago, I left a six-year role at a startup feeling lost, not just in my career, but in my days. One evening, I noticed something odd: my entire day had disappeared into my iPhone. When I switched from an old Android to iPhone, my screen time shot up from 2 hours to over 8. Everything felt smoother, more addictive and harder to let go of.
I started digging into the science behind it. Behavioral psychology, dopamine design loops, social pressure. Even features like “story viewers” are engineered to keep us coming back. And in the process, we’re trading real connection for digital performance.
That’s when the idea for **blissio.ai** was born, a digital wellness app that uses AI to help people regain control of their time and attention. But this isn’t just about an app. It’s about reconnection. With nature. With others. And with yourself.
That’s what Sunset Disconnect is about.
7:00 PM – Meet & Welcome
We’ll gather at the main path entrance of Primrose Hill (I’ll be in a blue hat), then walk together to find a comfortable spot.
7:30 PM – Shared Stories
I’ll share my journey with tech and screen time. Anyone else who wants to share is warmly invited, but never expected.
7:45 PM – Golden Hour Conversations
Simple, relaxed paired chats about our digital lives and how they impact us no agendas, just presence.
8:15 PM – Sunset Moment
We’ll pause to take in the beauty of the skyline and simply be still together.
8:45 PM – Closing Circle
Time for reflections, goodbyes, and swapping contact info if you'd like to stay in touch.
🧺 What to Bring
- A blanket or something to sit on
- A light jacket (forecast: 17°C early evening, dropping to 9°C)
- Yourself, just as you are, no pressure, no performance
### 📍 Where to Meet
Primrose Hill – Main Path Entrance
📍 I’ll be near the gate wearing a blue hat

### 🛡️ Safety & Comfort
This gathering ends before dark and is intentionally small and personal. I’m here to make sure everyone feels welcome. If you need help getting home, we’re happy to coordinate shared rides.
