  • "It really is liberating to put down your devices and just interact with others. I'm able to just exist in the moment, and that is the best gift I've given myself in nearly 15 years."

    James 2023

  • "We hosted a gathering at the Hotel Amour's Book Bar, with approximately 30 Opal users. We offered drinks and activities, such as writing your goals for 2024 on sticky notes. Such a great initiative!!"

    Marjolaine from Opal/France 2024

  • "Hosting an unplugged gathering allowed me to feel more connected to my community than I had ever felt before."

    Elizabeth 2024

    Jessie 2024

  • "It was such a great experience to unplug with a group of women and have the director of GDU there to share about it!!"

    Megan 2024

  • "BEST INITIATIVE EVER!"

    Becky 2024

  • "It was perfect! I think we didn’t really know how much we needed the break. There was so much laughter, food and new connections formed. It was truly an unforgettable experience."
