Uplands forest trek

The unplug escape is an opportunity to separate ourselves from the digital universe and rediscover what it means to be human in the simplest of ways through meaningful personal connections to self, others, and nature.  At the start of our walk, we will all set our devices aside. No emails, no photos, no YouTube, no social media, no selfies. But, if it’s not on social media, did it really happen? We will find out.
