Join us for an afternoon of digital wellbeing, mindfulness and meaningful community connection.

Disconnect to Reconnect is a welcoming community wellbeing event designed to help you pause, reflect and reconnect — with yourself, others, and your relationship with technology.

Hosted by the Swiss Benevolent Society UK in collaboration with The Digital Detox Club, this relaxed afternoon combines a wellbeing workshop, a guided mindfulness session, community conversation, refreshments, and an optional mindful walk to Lincoln’s Inn Fields.

Whether you’re looking to reduce screen time, meet new people, or simply enjoy a mindful afternoon, you’ll leave with practical tools and fresh perspectives to support your wellbeing.
