At 10am in Karen, Nairobi, on the last Saturday of the month, three dozen people hand over their phones. It’s the first rule of the Serenity Social Club’s Disconnect event – a whole day of no screens or digital notifications. In their place are yoga, pottery, crocheting, conversations with strangers – or even just sleeping on the grass.
