The Offline Club

Great concept, we need more offline time nowadays! I don't like the corporate marketing from offline club. I find it repulsive. I refer to the use of language and multimedia material which feels quite corporate. While the core idea behind offline club doesn't match with it I believe.

As someone who coaches others on screen addiction but struggled with it myself, the Offline Club's Digital Detox retreat was exactly what I needed. The 5 days without phones/laptops at Simply Canvas Farm in France completely reset my relationship with technology. What made it special: No schedules beyond meal bells, genuine community, beautiful farm setting with hammocks and sunflower fields, and the rare experience of true boredom that sparked actual creativity. I slept better than I had in years, finally heard my own thoughts again, and remembered what genuine human connection feels like. The group of 20+ strangers became a real community where vulnerability was welcomed. For anyone feeling overwhelmed by digital overload - especially neurodivergent people - this retreat offers an insight of what life can be like when we disconnect from the online world and reconnect with ourselves and others. Highly recommend checking out their events worldwide. This experience reminded me that we exist beyond the internet. ♥️

I give this the highest rating because this is the first concept I seen where for once it's not all about the smart phone. I use a flip non smart phone as my main phone. Part me was proud but embarrassed to take it out of purse in fear others would make fun of me for not using a smart phone. I think the smart phone sad to say makes the younger crowd lazier my day I had to open a book or look it up to find the answers today it's to easy to find a answer. Sadly breakfast isn't the first thing people do it's check their notifications. I hope this available for the States as well or someday soon
