Social Media Overload Christchurch - 1 May 2026 FREE EVENT

Feeling constantly distracted, drained, or overwhelmed by social media?

We live in a world of endless scrolling, notifications, and information — yet rarely pause to notice how it is shaping our thoughts, emotions, and overall wellbeing.

In this session, we explore what is really happening within the mind in the digital age. Why does constant exposure leave us feeling restless and unsettled? And how can we step back and regain clarity?

Through simple insights and reflection, you’ll begin to understand the deeper impact of social media and learn how to create a more balanced and mindful relationship with technology.

Resetting the mind is not about avoiding social media — but about using it with awareness.

Join us for an evening to pause, reflect, and reconnect with a calmer, clearer state of mind.
