Technology Detox

with Lila Lolling

January 16 - 19, 2025

Description

Today’s world is inundated with technology. Whether it’s our devices, large screen televisions, smart watches, or smart appliances, our life is surrounded by technology. But, is it good for us? Is it really benefiting our lives? During this retreat we explore the effects of technology on your mind-body, while simultaneously experiencing the benefits from tech-free living. When you undergo this type of juxtaposition, it becomes easier to return to daily life with greater boundaries.

Medical and scientific studies have shown that when you reduce screen time, it improves sleep, mental health, social connections, brain and cognitive functions and lowers stress. This retreat is designed to send you home with your nervous system reset, your bio-field amplified, and a richer connection with life around you.

Join Lila Lolling for this weekend retreat developed to give you the necessary tools to establish a more healthy relationship with technology. If you are unable to arrive on Thursday, please join us Friday by 7pm. Retreat closes at noon on Sunday. Please note, this retreat is phone-free and wifi-free environment.
