Why Reconnect?

Digital pathways have become the norm for meeting new people and "connecting". Dating apps, social media, texting. But at Reconnect, we say those spaces are keeping us from the best part: being together for real. Reconnect's chapters are a place where you can skip the online eggshells and experience conversations, laughter, and real connection in person without phones.

Why no phones?

Conversations get better.

People loosen up.

Everything’s more fun.

We all need a break, so let's do it together.

What do people think?

This was an extremely restorative day, and it was wonderful to spend time with a new group of people who I'd never met before, and immediately connect with them more than I connect with people on a regular basis, away from all the distractions and kind of slow down and not be aware of time and just kind of feel what life is meant to be.

Something unique about this event was connecting with people without looking at my hone every 5 seconds 'cause I feel like even in conversation I'll just be checking notifications talking to other people on my phone and not actually engaging fully in the conversation. Today we just sat around and talked in the groups, even having individual side conversations. It was so much more deep and meaningful than they normally would be if I just had my phone with me.
Andrew, 19

In the normal world with our phones it's very superficial. Everything we do with our communication feels fake and forced, like we have to put on a show. But here at the reconnect movement we brought this big group of people together just for communicating, so we don't have to act we don't have to play. We actually want to be here we actually want to be off of our phones and we want to be real

Meet The Founder Seán Killingsworth

After dealing with isolation, anxiety, and comparison when he and all his peers were living digitally, Seán started creating spaces where real life could thrive. He began hosting phone-free Reconnect events to provide fully present, uninterrupted social experiences for his generation. His mission is to show the world that phone-free social spaces are just as important for our mental health as smoke-free ones are for our physical health.
