KOBBE invites you to unplug and unwind, at our Digital Detox: A Sensory Experience. This event is all about putting the phone down for a minute and engaging the senses. The event will feature five rooms, each curated to engage one of the five senses. And of course, the main area will to designed to encourage conversation with the friends you came with and the new ones you’ll meet.
We won’t be locking your phones away, but we hope you’ll put them on Do Not Disturb and put them away for a couple of hours while you take in this sensory experience. Join us for something a little different.
In conjunction with our #DigitalDetox : A Sensory Experience we’re also collecting Summer Toys that will encourage kids to play outside this summer. We’re collecting Jump Ropes, Water Guns, Sidewalk Chalk, Kickballs, etc that will Hey all be donated to a low-income summer program. A portion of the proceeds collected at the door will also be donated.
