Lately we’ve been feeling how hard it is to be human in a world that never stops.

Notifications, deadlines, the pressure to always be available and productive. We’re constantly connected, yet more disconnected than ever.

Off-Screen Hours is a space to step away from the noise.

To rest, make art, and heal in community.

Intentional breaks from screens and the grind of constant doing, slowing down long enough to feel present again.

⊹ ࣪ ˖ Series 1: Digital Disconnection explores how technology shapes the ways we connect, communicate, and care for ourselves

Nov 14 → Algorithmic Loneliness— isolation in the age of constant connection

Nov 21 → Digital Ghosts — what remains of us in digital spaces, and releasing what no longer serves us

Nov 28 → Lost in Transmission —what gets lost in digital communication: the emotions and presence screens cannot carry

Expect gentle art making, reflection and conversation as we find our way back to ourselves and each other.

📅 When: weekly Fridays 3-5pm starting on Nov 14th.
🎟️ Tickets: luma.com/user/decipherstudio
📍 Location: Decipher Studio B 🚪 room 317 - 402 west pender st.

Meet Maddison (she/they): our curious and reflective art therapist at Decipher 🌀

She works with the tender stuff: grief, loss and death, fertility challenges, shame and self-compassion, and recovery from religious or systemic harm. Maddison explores the grief, the spaces in-between, and the truths that coexist.

If you're looking for a therapist who can hold the complexity of your story with creativity and gentleness, Maddison might be your person!

We have been socialized with the rise of therapy speech to logic, reason, and theorize our way through what may be going on.

Unfortunately, therapy speech and intellectualizing goes against the grain when it comes to healing experiences of overwhelm.

Those unprocessed feelings from tough times tend to hang around, recycle on repeat, while our bodies bear the brunt of it all.

If you’ve been finding yourself grappling with self-doubt, feeling unclear and confused - you’re not alone! 🧡

If you’re always choosing the cheapest option… you might be spending more 👀

When you have money wounds, your anxiety does 5 behaviours to feel safe right now:
1. Avoidance 😩 “I’ll deal with my bank account later…” 2. Reassurance seeking 👀 “Should I buy it? Is it worth it?” 3. Distraction 📱 scrolling instead of facing money stuff 4. Numbing 🌀 food, alcohol, or shopping to cope 5. Compulsions ✅ buy the cheapest thing just to ‘end the anxiety’

These bring temporary relief… but keep you stuck in the cycle of money anxiety 😵‍💫

✨ JOIN US for Rooted in Ease, an 8-week art therapy journey to heal money wounds & reclaim your EASE.
