Phone-Free Mid-Week Creative Reset
Free for members - Become a member → absent.tech/memberships
Event details:
Halfway through the week, your mind needs space to wander.
Join us for a phone-free creative reset at Absent.
What You'll Experience:
This is not a workshop. There's no instructor telling you what to create. You'll walk into a beautiful space filled with various high quality art supplies, building materials, and creative tools, and you explore at your own pace.
Draw without direction
Paint without a plan
Build something with your hands
Write by hand
Sit and think without distraction
Phones stay in secure pouches, but with you at all times. You can unlock the pouch and step out anytime for emergencies.
What's Included:
Art supplies, drawing materials, building blocks, journals, puzzles, extensive "how to" guides
Access to a beautifully designed space where every color, texture and detail helps makes creativity effortless
Who This Is For:
Self-explorers. People who want to create without the pressure to perform. Anyone craving analog time in this digital world.
Even short breaks from screens improve mood, attention and emotional connection. We’re simply making that easier to do.
