### We are more than a screen-free community.

We are The Unplugged Collective — a Bay Area-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that creates space to unplug from the noise and reconnect to what matters most: ourselves, each other, and the Earth.
In a time of digital overwhelm and isolation, we are rebuilding what’s been lost: true community.

### What Happens at an Unplugged Gathering?

🔌 Device-Free Zone: Check in or power off your phone, and check into your own life.

😌 Solo Integration Time (45 min): Ease in with journaling, rest, meditation, creating, this time is yours.

🌀 Community Circle: We gather in circle. We share stories. We listen deeply. Every voice matters.

🌿 Grounded Experiences: From nature immersion to hands-on eco teachings, you'll walk away with practices that root you in something real.

🔥 Expression & Play: Dance, draw, breathe, write, move, there’s no right way to be here.

🤲🏾 Shared Nourishment: We co-create this space together. Expect shared food, shared energy, and shared love.

💫 Real-Life Integration: You’ll leave with more than good vibes. You’ll leave with tools, clarity, and community.

### About The Unplugged Collective

We believe this is a movement toward:

• 🌍 Environmental Consciousness: Living with the land, not just on it.
• 🤝 Community Resilience: Face-to-face, heart-to-heart connection.
• 🔥 Creative Liberation: Space for your art, voice, and truth.

### This is our Swap Meet Edition!

Because we believe in minimizing waste, consumption, and capitalism’s grip on our joy, we’re dedicating a portion of this gathering to trading what we already have. Think of it as community-powered abundance.

Bring your gently used or handmade items to exchange:👕 clothes • 🪴 soil & seeds • 🪞home decor • 💍 jewelry • 🎨 crafts & more
We’ll swap together for a dedicated hour (+) during the gathering (instead of our usual workshop). No money, just meaningful exchange.

Nothing to exchange. No problem. You're more than welcome in this space.

### Support the Movement

We run entirely on community generosity. If this gathering nourishes you and you’re able, we welcome your donation. Every dollar helps us stay accessible and grounded in purpose. Thank you for giving Unplugged a heartbeat. We couldn’t do this without you.
