Off Screen Hours: Adult Time-out
Lately we’ve been feeling how hard it is to be human in a world that never stops.
Notifications, deadlines, the pressure to always be available and productive. We’re constantly connected, yet more disconnected than ever.
Off-Screen Hours is a space to step away from the noise. To rest, make art, and heal in community. ˚⊹
Intentional breaks from screens and the grind of constant doing, slowing down long enough to feel present again.
Every Friday, 3-5pm, come to any conversation that speaks to you!
⊹ ࣪ ˖ For Series 4: Connection, we return to each other through presence, reciprocity, and attunement outside isolation and self-sufficiency.
Jan 16th → Threads between us — weaving art symbolizing connection and interdependence
Jan 23rd →Tender togetherness — art about softness, and collective rest
Jan 30th → Adult time-out — making forts, doodling nonsense, reclaiming childhood play
Expect gentle art making, reflection, and conversation as we find our way back to ourselves and each other.
When? ⊹ ࣪ ˖
weekly on Fridays, 3-5pm.
Pay-what-you-can 1st friday of the month! ($5+)
@Room 317– 402 West Pender St., Vancouver
