Sabbath, in the Digital Generation
February 25, 2011 4 Comments
Next weekend is the National Day of Unplugging, from Sundown, Friday, March 4 to Sundown, Saturday, March 5, 2011.
Can you take the unplug challenge and put down your cell phone, sign out of email, stop your Facebook and Twitter updates? If so, sign up here!
For 24 hours, starting at sundown Friday March 4, 2011, people across the nation will reclaim time, slow down their lives and reconnect with friends, family, the community and themselves…
It comes via the Sabbath Manifesto:
The Sabbath Manifesto is a creative project designed to slow down lives in an increasingly hectic world. We’ve created 10 core principles completely open for your unique interpretation…
They are:
- Avoid Technology
- Connect with Loved Ones
- Nurture Your Health
- Get Outside
- Avoid Commerce
- Light Candles
- Drink Wine
- Eat Bread
- Find Silence
- Give Back
About Fr Stephen Smuts
I just read about this in David Ulin’s The Lost Art of Reading. Interesting concept, but it does seem sad that we have to have a special day for this to happen.
So true Jeremy.
I love it, it would do me the world of good frankly!
A lot of good indeed…
