Digital Detox

Facilitator: Leslie Shoemaker

 

Are you aware the average person spends almost half of their waking time in front of a screen of some sort? Have you ever considered the impact this has on you and the people in your life? The purpose of this session is to examine our relationship with technology and to look at the impact it has on our lives as well as reflect what can we can do if we do decide to do a digital detox
