An Invitation to Be Present

This workshop is more than just a digital detox; it's a chance to rediscover the joy of being in your body, connecting with others, and finding your flow — all without the distraction of a screen.

Join Will Atkins and Sebastián López for a unique two-day experience on Fire Island Pines. This workshop is an invitation to disconnect from constant digital connectivity and reconnect with the wisdom of your body. We will explore movement through a playful and challenging approach, and rediscover the power of human connection.

Intentional Disconnection

For two hours, you'll be unreachable. Place your phone in airplane mode and immerse yourself fully in the present moment.

Mindful Movement

Explore techniques from the Ido Portal method. A playful and challenging practice for all skill levels.

Human Connection

Through partner games and group activities, we'll replace digital interaction with genuine, joyful human connection.

  • This immersive experience is broken into two distinct sessions, each offering a powerful opportunity to reconnect with yourself and others. While the content is similar across both sessions, the focus is on a unique, in-person journey.

    In each session, you'll focus on intentional disconnection from digital devices to foster a deeper connection with your body and other people. Through mindful movement and partner-based activities, you'll rediscover your physical potential and build genuine human connections in a beautiful, private setting.

    Attending both sessions is highly recommended to fully integrate the principles and practice the skills in different settings and with different partners, allowing you to deepen your experience and master the "disconnect to connect" philosophy.

  • The workshop runs from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM on both Saturday and Sunday, September 6th and 7th, 2025.

  • The workshop will be held at a private residence (607 Shore Walk) in Fire Island Pines.

  • Bring comfortable clothing for movement, a reusable water bottle, and an open mind. We recommend leaving your phone in airplane mode for the two-hour sessions to fully embrace the experience.

  • The workshop is designed for all skill levels, with a focus on beginners. All movement practices are scalable, and the facilitators will guide you through each exercise. The primary goal is to explore and have fun, not to achieve a specific level of performance.

  • Yes. That’s the point. For two hours each day, we’ll all switch to airplane mode. It’s a liberating reset, and we promise you won’t miss it.
