Kanso events are amazing. The philosophy of getting people together for a few hours of genuine connection is great, but what really elevates it is the quality of the attendees.

In a world that becomes increasingly digitized, it is so refreshing to find a group of people willing to disconnect and interact face to face. Kanso will take the world by storm and I feel blessed to be apart of it!

Definitely sign up for Kanso if you're addicted to your phone. It's super actionable to reduce screen time. Immediately added a phone shortcut to turn on grayscale mode. Had no idea you could do that!
