OFFLINE Immersion • Remembering how to be human
About this Event
OVERVIEW
What happens when we step away from constant notifications, scrolling and digital stimulation — and give ourselves permission to simply be?
OFFLINE IMMERSION: Remembering How to Be Human is a 6-hour phone-free urban retreat designed to help you slow down, reconnect with your body, restore your nervous system and experience meaningful human connection.
For one day, you are invited to step out of the noise of everyday life and into a carefully curated journey combining mindful movement, meditation, silence, conscious connection, creativity, cacao and sound healing.
There is nothing to perform, document or achieve.
Just space to breathe, feel, connect and remember what it is like to be fully present.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Your experience will include:
- A symbolic phone surrender ritual
- Grounding meditation and breath awareness
- Slow Flow Yoga & somatic movement
- A silent tea break
- Mindfulness practices
- Eye-contact meditation
- Deep listening and authentic connection exercises

- A 60-minute immersive sound healing journey

The experience runs from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with doors opening at 9:30 AM.
WHAT MAKES THIS EXPERIENCE DIFFERENT
This is not simply a yoga class, sound bath or wellness workshop.
OFFLINE IMMERSION has been designed as a complete journey.
For several hours, you will be invited to remove one of the biggest sources of distraction in modern life: your phone.
Without notifications, photographs, messages or scrolling, we create space for something different to emerge.
Presence.
Silence.
Creativity.
Real conversation.
The experience gradually moves through different stages:
Disconnect → Arrive → Move → Pause → Connect → Nourish → Reflect → Create → Receive → Return
Every practice has been intentionally placed within the day to help you move from external stimulation towards deeper awareness and connection.
You will also leave with your painted stone — a physical reminder of the intention, insight or feeling you would like to carry back into everyday life.

ABOUT US
I’m Paula, co-founder of ONNI, yoga teacher, and a financial professional living and working in London. After 16 years across different roles, I experienced burnout during the pandemic. Yoga, rest, breathwork, and simple rituals helped me reconnect with myself and transform the way I live and work. After a transformative time in Rishikesh, India, I now share the rituals and practices that helped me heal and build healthier habits. My mission is to guide women toward a middle path where career and well-being can coexist. Through yoga, breathwork, and mindful rituals, I support women in restoring their energy, creating work-life balance, and caring for themselves in a more conscious way.
Manu is a Sound Healing Practitioner and Meditation Teacher with international training in Rishikesh, as well as a Mechanical Engineer with an MSc in Innovation. As a musician, I bring a unique approach by combining scientific principles with holistic wellness techniques to create transformative experiences. My work is designed especially for busy professionals, helping them reduce stress, increase focus, and restore energy through tailored sound therapy and meditation practices. By blending evidence-based methodologies with the healing power of sound, I guide individuals to achieve clarity, balance, and sustainable well-being amidst demanding work lives.
