THE PSYCHEDELIC SOCIETY IS LAUNCHING “A FAREWELL TO SCREEN ADDICTION” COURSE
There is a different kind of life on the other side of screen addiction. One of freedom, calm and connection. Changing your relationship with screens creates more time for all the things you’d like to do, and a deeper, happier sense of wellbeing.
But it’s increasingly difficult to have a healthy relationship with screens and social media.
Neuroscientists claim it produces the same neural circuitry as other addictive substances. It’s changing the way our brains work, the length of our attention span, and our general productivity and creativity. The documentary, The Social Dilemma shows how social media creators are manipulating our human weaknesses for consumerist ends. Rather than serving us or improving our lives, it’s making us unhappy and unwell. This isn’t your fault, or a personal weakness, it’s happening for all of us.
So how do we negotiate a healthy relationship with our screens? Is it all or nothing?
During the course, you will be supported to have your devices serve you, and not the other way around. The course starts Monday 8th January an will be every week for four weeks, from 7pm to 8.30pm via Zoom. How ironic that this group must take place on a screen! That is the reality. There will be no screen time in between calls (no facebook or whatsapp group). During the call we will be journaling, sharing and supporting each other.
