What we’re about
We bring together young-minded, curious people who want to waste less time on digital distractions (think Instagram, YouTube, Netflix...)
so that we can
- Live more in the real world
- Reclaim control of these technologies.
- And focus on what we truly want, not on what these big companies want.
And that in an international setting!
It's our goal not to only bring out the best versions of ourselves, but we also help others do the same.
And, in our opinion, that is one of the most fulfilling things that life has to offer 😉

See all- The Third Unplug & Unfold Challenge - 3 Meet-ups in 28 daysFonteinstraat 1 box 0201, LeuvenEUR 50.00
Have you felt bored, lonely or stressed lately and noticed yourself reaching for your phone, the TV or videogames?
Then the Unplug & Unfold Challenge is perfect for you!
This challenge is a 28-day journey to an interesting life beyond screens.
A life full of CONNECTION, EXPLORATION & RELAXATION in the real world.
On Thursday, the 21th of November, the third wave will start.## What’s included?
This investment in yourself comes with a 50 euro commitment (see discounts beneath).
What do you get for that in return?- 3 in-person meet-ups (in 28 days)
- drinks during these meet-ups
- printed “course material”
- small daily challenges
- an accountability partner
- access to our Curious Library of Interesting Books
- benefits you’ll get from spending less time on your screens
- a few surprises
The 3 in-person meet-ups are spread over 28 days:
- TAKEOFF (Thursday 21st of November, 19-22h)
- UNPLUG & CONNECT (Thursday 5th of December, 19-22h)
- RE-INTEGRATE (Thursday 19th of December, 19-22h)
The TAKEOFF event signals the start of the challenge. You get to know the other wave-members who dare to take this courageous step. You decide for yourself how far you want to go with the unplugging. From that moment on, we help each other and keep each other accountable.
During the UNPLUG & CONNECT event, we share our experiences about the first 2 unplugged weeks. After one hour exclusive for wave-members, the event becomes open and free for everyone to join!
Everyone present will put their screens away for 2 hours and you will get to know some of the previous wave members, the current wave members and other people interested in digital minimalism.The last event is the RE-INTEGRATE event. It is a new beginning. The beginning of a story that unfolds primarily in real life. During this event, we look back at the 28 days and have a fresh perspective on what is important to us and make the changes we have to make.
## Discounts

PPS If you would love to financially support someone by gifting them the Unplug & Unfold Challenge, you can subscribe to the newsletter as a Founding Member. For every 50 euros you pledge, 1 person can take on the Unplug & Unfold Challenge without having to pay. As an exchange, I’ll keep you updated about the stories that unfold through the Unplug & Unfold Challenge.## Conclusion
The Unplug & Unfold Challenge is not your average digital detox in which you waste as much time on your screen right after as before.
No, it is designed to change your relationship with digital distractions (e.g. Netflix, YouTube, Instagram,...) completely.
