WHY:
As this is the month to care about our planet and all things on it, this does also include ourselves. It has become more and more apparent that our society has grown with technology, to include a dependency on not only screens but all and any technology that we can afford. As technology aids us in our day to day activities, it also becomes more and more necessary to break free from the many screens. Technology is great to use as a tool, but when it comes to being "real human beings", we need to remember that life continues outside of technology also. We are not machines that are meant to be physically "connected" to technology, as much as some of us have become. And thankfully, it is not so literal like the Matrix movies. lol
+
This event is to encourage and enable growth "outside the screen/ box", help with any needed organizations/ streamlining in our physical realities, and to enjoy each other more.

ACTIVITY OPTIONS:
Rainy Dayz – indoors
~ "Field Trips" are always fun adventures! Why not check out what's in your neighbourhood and if any indoor events are going on, or what art/ cultural space there is to explore. Examples: Why not check out your local library, museum, conservatory, etc... Any grand openings, or galas coming up this week?

~ Friendly Visits are always fun too, as we get to enjoy the company of those we appreciate/ love. If you have the time and funds, why not visit a friend that lives outside your city. We don't always get the chance, and if your schedule permits... this may be that chance.
