Queer Unplugged Amsterdam: Spring Edition + Queer Shorts
Queer Unplugged is a movement toward mindful tech use, deeper community, and radical self-care. Our phone-free gatherings blend workshops, art, comedy, music, and community to nurture real-life connections, celebrate queerness, and support mindful self-care beyond the scroll.
March 15th event PROGRAM:
15:00 - 15:15 - Arrival window > 📵 Bye-bye phone (we'll keep it safe) > 🧸 Pick your cozy corner > 🧘♀️ Settle in

A quick welcome + what to expect
(We promise it’s not a TED Talk)
15:30 - 16:45 (75min) > INTROVERTED TIME
Read, journal, draw, meditate, knit or just stare into the void and vibe ✨

---DRINKS AND SNACKS CAN BE BOUGHT AT THE EVENT---
17:00 - 18.30 (90min) > EXTRAVERTED TIME
Pt. 1
Real convos, eye contact, spontaneous friend-making, getting to know each other... or stay in your bubble (that's ok too)
💭 Open floor reflections
How is it for you to part with your phone? Do you have tips or tricks to scroll less? Say something, share a feeling, or just nod meaningfully - all are welcome.
Pt.2

📱 Reunite with your phone 😇 and have a peaceful night.
NOTE: Please bring with you a book, journal, crochet set, or whatever helps you connect with yourself during the INTROVERTED TIME. We will also provide some crosswords, books, and drawing materials.
