Putting Our CeLLPhones Down, opens our hands and our hearts to a whole new world.
Let’s Disconnect Together!
It’s not easy to disconnect from those electronic devices. (Lord knows I’ve tried!) But what if you had a whole community of folks who were cheering you on in finding other things to do with those trusty thumbs? It can happen.
The Kranky Thumb Collective, in partnership with The School of Global Citizenry, is creating a community you can connect to in person or online in a safe and trusted space. Now some of you may be asking, “If I need to connect online, isn’t that the same things as being on my phone?” And we say, “Nope.” Because when you connect with the Kranky Thumb Collective, you are not madly scrolling through your phone. You will encounter other folks who will encourage you, and challenge you to put down your phone because they too want to make their thumbs happy. Happy Thumb, Happy Life!
