Here & Now: A Phone-Free Social Experience (San Diego)
Here & Now is Kanso's flagship phone-free social experience.
every night has a theme. tonight's is gratitude.
part guided facilitation, part free-flow, designed around the neuroscience of real human connection. this is what your nervous system has been starved of.
what to expect
you'll arrive, check your phone at the door, and receive the present: a journal, pen, and conversation prompts to carry you through the night.
the opening is structured. we'll pair you up with someone new for a real, ten-minute conversation, then again with someone different. just two people, one prompt, and enough time to cut past the bs and actually get to know someone.
then the room opens up. we'll be playing light ambient tunes and the night takes its own shape from there. there's a station to write thank you cards, to yourself and to the people who matter most.
we close out together.
the best way to spend a friday night. good people, good drinks (NA included), completely present and undistracted.
who's in the room
people who care deeply about how they spend their time and who they spend it with. they're actively working on their career, their health, their relationships.
they know their screen time is the one thing they haven't figured out yet. not because they don't see it, but because the phone is also the tool that gets them ahead.
they're always on. tonight they're not. most come alone.
let us be clear...this is not a networking event. it's a place to be human again.
