WORKSHOPS: Notice What You Notice
How much of what you notice every day is decided by algorithms?
Right now, as you read this, invisible forces are competing for your most precious resource: your attention. Tech companies have spent twenty years perfecting the art of capturing and holding your focus, essentially "fracking" your mind for data and dollars.
The result? That strange, jarring experience we all know too well – one moment you're seeing heartbreaking footage from a war zone, the next you're watching someone's holiday reel, then an influencer selling you something you don't need. It's exhausting. It's overwhelming. And perhaps worst of all, it can leave us feeling numb and shut down.
But here's the thing: the fightback is totally possible.

What You're Missing in the Slipstream of the Scroll
When algorithms decide what we notice, we lose something fundamental: our agency over our own experience. We miss the everyday wonder hiding in plain sight. We become too numb to bear witness – to truly see others and make them feel seen.We lose touch with what actually matters to us.
This isn't just about so-called "digital wellness". In a world of distraction, learning to notice what we notice becomes an act of resistance. It's attention activism.
The Workshop: Reclaim Control
Over two transformative hours, you'll discover how to:
- Notice how your attention moves – and how to guide it intentionally
- Notice how emotions influence you – especially in digital spaces
- Notice the impact of conversations – online and offline
- Notice how effort shapes attention – and use strategic friction as a tool
- Notice your human-centric-ness – going beyond into the natural world
- Notice your negativity and positivity biases – and work with them wisely
This is about surviving and thriving in an increasingly intimate attention economy. You'll leave with practical techniques to lean into the beauty, wonder, and connection to the things that matter most to you.
Your Guides for This Journey
