Unplug & Play - No Cell Phone Zone Hangout

Escape the digital grind, leave your cell phone at the door, and detox at the Portal in Oakland to bring in Spring. Enjoy a Saturday afternoon of screen-free mingling surrounded by a community of like-minded people. Let's normalize being in community without our cell phones!

WHY JOIN?
This event carves out dedicated time in your schedule to put away your phone, unwind, connect, and rediscover the simple joys of life in community. Whether you’re catching up on hobbies, meeting new people, or simply enjoying some quiet time, this is your opportunity to embrace the unplugged life.

Event Schedule
First 15 min: Arrival and welcome
Next 45 min: "Me Time" – Recharge, reflect, connect
Next 1.5 hours: "We Time" – Connect and share if you are feeling social
Last 15 min: See you laters!

ACTIVITIES
During "me time", go for some of your solo pursuits like reading, writing, drawing. Bring along your favorite book or creative supplies to make the most of this time. If you’re feeling froggy, during "we time", this is your chance to mingle! Introduce yourself to someone, have a conversation, pay a compliment, or heck, perform a random act of kindness and pay for someone's drink. Share ideas, play a game, or simply enjoy connecting with others. Prefer to stay in your bubble? That’s fine too—no pressure here.

Important Notes
• Disclaimer: By handing over your phone, you're placing a great deal of faith in the system!! However, if it happens to vanish or encounter an unexpected mishap, the Unplug and Play Collective cannot be held responsible. Not quite ready to part ways with your phone? No problem—simply switch it off and keep it out of sight!
