In Mà a Mà we are committed to helping people connect more with themselves and better with others.
In our society we have an extra challenge. We live in the physical world and in a digital world at the same time.
Have you ever noticed that you can become so absorbed in your phone that you no longer connect with yourself?
You only feel hungry or thirsty again when you look up from your mobile phone.
You suddenly realize that you were in a bad posture and your neck hurts again when you put your cell phone away.
That connection with yourself is put on pause for a moment.
And that is exactly what we want to offer you with this event. A break. Not from yourself, on the contrary, but from your phone.
That world that can absorb you and not only weaken your connection with yourself, but also with others.
How often have you seen or experienced yourself sitting around a table with friends, but actually with your head in your phone?
Therefore we propose this event on this symbolic day: Saint Valentine.
A day to connect more with yourself and better with others.
On February 14th 2025, I invite you to turn off your cell phone for two hours in the Maó Library (Sala de actos).
To:
- finally read that book you've been wanting for so long but haven't had time for.
- write in your notebook, reflecting on a topic that keeps playing in the background but that you don't take time to observe your thoughts about.
- once again, as in the past, to knit a scarf or do other handicrafts.
- write that letter you would like to write to a friend
In short, a moment to slow down and come to yourself.
During this event we will have two blocks: a block where you experience an individual moment away from your phone and a block where you can interact with others phone-free if you wish.
Arrival: 16:30-17:00
Connection with yourself: 17:00-18:00
Connecting with others: 18:00-19:00
Closing: 19:00-19:30
