REACHING THROUGH SCREENS:
Desire, Contact & Disconnection Online

MAKE IT REAL

You are invited to bring real stories and artifacts from your online life for us to explore together.

• Something from an online relationship you still can’t believe.

• An email exchange you've saved because it still means something to you.

• A WhatsApp group conversation that makes your heart race.

• A screenshot, text exchange, dating profile, or video call experience you keep thinking bout.

Participants will determine content to explore.

RESOURCE

A free illustrated companion to the workshop — brief contemplative practices for awareness, communication, and connection online.

In this workshop, we make the mundane important. We slow down ordinary online moments and notice what happens when we give them our attention.

We will:

• Notice how your body responds while using technology.

• Become more aware of your attention, habits, and reactions online.

• Explore how your communication style affects other people in digital spaces.

• Recognize patterns in how you connect, withdraw, respond, and stay engaged online.

• Notice how you present yourself online, and how you experience the people you meet through screens.

• Experiment with more intentional ways of making contact online.

WHO IS THIS FOR?

The workshop may be especially relevant to people working remotely, managers and leaders, HR professionals, educators, designers, developers, therapists and other helping professionals.

Professional or personal — if being online is part of your life, you are welcome.
