Coming Soon
Connectivity has become so constant that most people have never experienced what their mind does when it is genuinely uninterrupted. This post will make the case for screen-free retreat design — and what leaders have found when they actually tried it.
What we'll cover
- What the research shows about the cognitive cost of constant connectivity
- Why "just turning notifications off" is not the same as a genuine screen-free environment
- What happens to interpersonal dynamics when screens are removed from the group
- How to design a screen-free retreat that feels like relief rather than deprivation
- The specific conversations that become possible when no one is half-elsewhere
- Practical logistics for managing screen-free agreements with a team
Interested in planning a team retreat at Waterval? We would be glad to discuss what a screen-free or low-connectivity programme could look like for your team.
