Sunday Social Experiment: Device-Free Connection Adventure

What happens when your Sunday afternoon becomes an adventure in authentic connection?

Join Portsmouth's experiment in putting humans back in human connection. After a week of screen fatigue and digital "connections," discover what face-to-face conversation feels like when strangers become real people, not profile pictures. WALK-INS WELCOME!

What You'll Experience

THE ADVENTURE:

• Complete device-free environment for 3 hours
• Conversation prompt cards to use during the event and take home
• Optional 3-minute guided conversation experiences with adventure-themed prompts
• Free participation - just show up ready to connect

Why Treeline?

Treeline Outfitters believes that adventure begins with connection - to nature, community, and one another. As both taproom and outfitter, they create spaces where people gather before and after outdoor adventures. With craft beverages (including low-ABV and non-alcoholic options), Treeline is the perfect Third Space for authentic community building.

What You'll Leave With

• New connections with fellow Portsmouth community members
• Conversation skills that work everywhere - from family dinners to workplace interactions
• Sunday energy that actually prepares you for Monday instead of dreading it
• Take-home conversation prompts to spark authentic connections anywhere

The Experience

This isn't networking, therapy, or forced team-building. It's an experiment in what happens when we put our devices away and remember what genuine human connection feels like. Whether you're new to Portsmouth, looking to meet like-minded people, or simply curious about authentic conversation, this experience is designed for anyone ready to trade screen time for real time.

Device Management: This is a device-free experience. On arrival, phones go into our device-free lockbox for the duration of the session, so you can be fully present with the people in the room. Prefer to leave your device at home? We love that too. If you need to step out to check your phone, just let a facilitator know.
