| Dear Friends,
Starting April 21st, we are launching a new 21-Day challenge that you might like to know about: Mindful Technology Challenge!
Technology shapes our lives, interactions and society in ways that have far-reaching, sometimes unwelcome effects. An average adult spends 11 hours a day with digital media, but how much of that is conscious? Can we ensure that we use technology and not the other way around? Instead of being distractions, can our devices help reconnect us and amplify the good? We think so. And the 21-Day Mindful Technology Challenge is an invitation to do just that – in small steps. Every day for three weeks, a virtual community of people from all over the world will receive a simple, unique idea for how to shift their relationship to technology. We’ll share stories, draw inspiration from each other and create new possibilities.
To join, please visit http://www.kindspring.org/challenge/join/393/
Thank you for holding space for “being the change we wish to see in the world.”
In service,
KindSpring Volunteers

Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.

The 21-Day Technology Challenge
“The hustle of family life — work, school, appointments, practice, homework, dinner, bed — is constant. We move in and out of activities and commitments with ferocity…And since our life is designed to fully embrace living it, we have to be mindful of all the pieces that might creep in and occupy more than their fair share. Technology is one of those pieces.” Author Janell Burley Hofmann works hard to make sure her family is mindful in its use of technology. She once drew up an 18 point iphone contract for her son that hit the headlines, and a deep chord for parents across the country. In this article she eloquently makes a case for the Slow Tech movement, and offers up seven ways to make our use of technology more balanced and conscious. { read more }
