Unplugged: A 3-Day Community Digital Detox
Choosing presence in a distracted world.
Unplugged is a 3-day digital detox rooted in the belief that we are formed through presence and relationship. This retreat is an invitation to reconnect—to God, to ourselves, to community, and to a more intentional way of being in the world.
Unplugged!
A 3-Day community Digital Detox
“For where two or three are gathered in my name, there I am among them.” — Matthew 18:20
An Invitation to Presence & Community
In a culture shaped by constant connection yet deep isolation, God invites us into real presence—with Him and with one another. Unplugged is a 3-day community digital detox, led by Levi & Deanne Roop, that creates space to step away from screens and step more fully into an embodied experience of community and presence.
This experience is an invitation to be more available, more attentive, and more connected—not digitally, but relationally.
Why 3 Days?
Research shows that it takes our brains a minimum of 72 hours to fully detox from the effects of technology. This retreat is intentionally designed to give you enough time to move beyond surface-level unplugging and begin experiencing deeper calm and relational presence. Together, we’ll step away from screens long enough for our bodies and minds to settle and begin to heal.
What This Experience Cultivates
Awareness of how screens can fragment community—and how presence restores it
Greater attentiveness to God’s presence among us
An invitation to be transformed by awe
Experiences of rest and play with others
A physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual reset
A Shared Journey
Unplugged is not meant to be done alone. Participants are invited to experience:
Practices of attunement to the present
Short teaching sessions
Space for laughter, shared meals, and unhurried time
Invitations for nature walks
Opportunities for play, including board games and/or yard games
This is a grace-filled, relational experience, not a performance or productivity challenge.
Who This Is For
Individuals longing for a retreat from the constant digital demands
Friends seeking healthier ways to be together
Anyone curious about how less screen time can create more room for presence
Why a Community Digital Detox?
Our screens often draw us inward, away from embodied presence and shared life. Choosing to unplug together allows us to remember that we are formed in relationship, and that God often meets us through one another.
