Digital Mindfulness: Reclaiming Time, Attention, & Solitude in a Connected World

In a world designed to capture and monetize our attention, can we still find moments of true presence and deep thought?

Join Café Philosophique for a thought-provoking discussion exploring our relationship with digital technology and its profound effects on our inner lives. Our smartphones and devices promise connection and convenience but often leave us feeling scattered, hurried, and perpetually available. Together, we'll examine questions like:

• How have digital tools transformed our relationship with time itself?
• What happens to our capacity for reflection when our moments of solitude are filled with notifications?
• What values are silently embedded in the technologies we use daily?
• How might we create more intentional and meaningful relationships with our digital tools?

This philosophical conversation isn't about rejecting technology, but understanding it more deeply. We'll explore perspectives from philosophers, psychologists, and contemplative traditions on attention, time, and presence in the digital age.

No philosophical background required—just bring your curiosity and willingness to engage with others. Our roundtable format ensures everyone has a chance to contribute to this important conversation.

Coffee and refreshments available for purchase. Come a few minutes early to grab a drink before we begin!
