Offline Morning

**A Sunday morning for the things you keep meaning to do.** ​**Offline Morning** is part of OffMode event series - slow social gatherings for people who want more from their free time than rushing, scrolling, and saying they’ll make time for their hobbies “soon.” ​The first part of the morning is yours. Read. Journal. Draw. Let your mind wander while enjoying your morning coffee. ​We’ll also have creative materials around the room so you can pick up something you’ve been meaning to return to. ​Then, the room opens. ​Games come out. Tables mix. Conversations start. The morning shifts from quiet solo time into warm, real-life energy. ​You might leave with a new friend, a calmer mind, a few pages read, a half-finished drawing, or just the rare feeling that your Sunday actually belonged to you. ## **How the morning unfolds:** ​**10:00am – 10:30am \| Arrive & get cosy** Lock your phone away and get cosy. ​**10:30am – 11:30am \| Connect with yourself** Read, journal, draw, write, think, relax, or do your own offline thing. ​**11:30am – 1:00pm \| Connect with others** This is where the morning shifts from quiet solo time into real-life connection. ​Think of conversations and games with people who also chose to spend their Sunday a little differently. ​**1:00pm – 1:30pm \| Wrap\-up** Get your phone back and enjoy the rest of your Sunday feeling a little more present and lighter.

Unhurried Conversations at the Pub

In an unhurried conversation, there is time to think differently and connect with people in a refreshing way. Unhurried isn't always slow. It offers a pace where people find it easy to join in and not feel crowded out. And listening can be as satisfying as talking. We use a simple meeting format to make this happen. https://www.unhurried.org/ This newly created event is at a new venue, the Keg & Bew Hotel at Surry Hills. We meet on the 2nd floor around 6:15pm. Food and drinks are available, before and after, on the ground floor and roof top.
