The Analogue Club is a deliberate pause from screens and dopamine distraction. It is a return to the tangible and in-person gatherings, led by Ruvi.

We meet offline to read books together, journal, make things with our hands, share food and have conversations that involve eye contact and attention. Sometimes that looks like arts and crafts or an intimate dinner in a local Manly restaurant, or just shared reading or writing in the same room. No phones, no scrolling.

This is about reclaiming focus, depth and old school human communication.

As social researcher Hugh Mackay puts it:

“We are starving for connection in a world that keeps us permanently distracted.”

The Analogue Club exists to create the conditions for interconnectedness and intimacy through slowness, shared attention and doing things that remind us we are social creatures.

Come as you are. Put your phone away. Make something. Read something. Talk to someone. Belong.
