Unplug and Discover Retreat

With Jamie Fazio and Zoe Howland

Price: $0.00


Have you ever taken a moment to consider the amount of time you spend on your phone each day?

Have you wondered how algorithms influence your thoughts, perceptions of yourself and others, and

your understanding of the world?

Are you curious about how AI tools can impact your personal and professional growth, shaping your

understanding of yourself?

How do these technologies influence what it means to be human - individually and collectively?


Unplug and Discover is an opportunity to step back from technology, pause, and reflect on these questions

and many others facing us today. This retreat invites you to find grounding in timeless insights from our

Catholic tradition amidst our digital age. Inspired by Pope Leo's teachings on living an authentic life, this retreat

encourages deep reflection in a time dominated by algorithms, artificial intelligence, and social media. Through

guided reflections and moments of quiet, participants will create space to deepen their understanding of

themselves, as created by God, reestablish a right relationship with technology, and navigate the challenges of

modern times with humility and purpose.  Join us to rediscover balance, clarity, and inspiration in a world driven by technology.
