About
Ready to disconnect? Join us for an hour of phone-free reading in the park with live guitar! All you need to bring is a book and a blanket. We'll all turn our phones off at 11:00am, read for an hour, and optionally connect with fellow humans afterwards.
Inspired by the global offline movement, this is a way to intentionally be present and not feel the need to reach for our phones for a whole hour. We can just simply... be.
📍Captain Jacobson Park | Head Street, Esquimalt
🕰️ 10:45am - 12:00pm (optional chill 12:00pm - 12:30pm)
📖 Bring a book, poetry, journal, whatever speaks to you.
🎟️ RSVP to claim your ticket before they run out (spots are limited at the park)
💸 FREE / By donation / or just bring good vibes! Contributions help pay for the park reservation fee and to help keep me caffeinated to put on more events like this!
Invite your friends, your parents, colleagues, neighbours, and be sure to grab a ticket. Do they say they aren’t readers? All good! Come by to disconnect for an hour 🧘♀️
Note: Limited street parking available and the West Bay Walkway parking lot is about a block away. There is also bike parking right at Captain Jacobson Park.
I AM SO EXCITED! May this be the first of many 🫶
