A Provisional Guide for Observing a Weekly Day of Rest
What is this?
The Sabbath Manifesto is a creative project designed to slow down lives in an increasingly hectic world.
The National Day of Unplugging 2012 has passed and the message got out to millions of people across the world. If you enjoyed the brief respite from your digital devices, we encourage you to try it again. Join us in taking the pledge to unplug from technology regularly. Take the pledge on Causes.com and then easily share it with friends and family through Facebook, Twitter and e-mail. www.causes.com/unplugpledge
For our Sabbath Manifesto, we created 10 core principles completely open for your unique interpretation. We welcome you to join us as we carve a weekly timeout into our lives and to continue the momentum of the National Day of Unplugging throughout the year.
This year, Reboot also took the unplugging movement to the most plugged-in place on the planet—the South by Southwest Interactive festival in Austin, TX! With both an official panel on unplugging and SXSW's First Ever Unplugging Party, Reboot spread the word about the value of creating sacred "no connection" time regularly and set the RecordSetter.com world record for the most people to shut off their cell phones at once.
