The Switch Off is a space for women to slow down, switch off and spend some time with themselves.
Its quiet, phone-free sessions are designed to give you a break from the constant noise, notifications and expectations of everyday life. No pressure to talk, perform, be productive or do anything in particular. Just time to yourself, without your phone.
Each session offers time to read, write, collage or simply sit quietly, with gentle music, something to drink and the option to chat afterwards if you feel like it.
It’s about being left alone, but not feeling alone. Because sometimes all you need is a little time to hear yourself think.
