Month Offline Philly FAQ
What is this?
Ditch your smart phone for a dumb phone and join a cohort of neighbors for weekly meet-ups, creative challenges, and mutual encouragement.
It's part happy hour, part support group, part classroom.
This is the very FIRST cohort of Month Offline Philly - we'll be doing a version of the Month Offline program (the ones in DC/NYC are run by dumb.co in partnership with See What's Under Studio, the Philly group is organized and faciliated directly by Fountain Studios PHL.)
Where and when?
We'll meet at 1548 E Passyunk Ave at DAY/TIME TBD for five weeks starting in October 2026. More details to follow, but the overall format will be:
Week 1: Communication
Week 2: Memory
Week 3: Navigation
Week 4: Boredom & Creativity
Week 5: Graduation
How much does it cost?
Cost to join: $75 to be a part of the Month Offline cohort.
For your phone, you have two options:
- Bring your own: You are absolutely welcome to bring your own dumb phone.
- Get one through us: We're working on a group discount right now for dumb phones and will send out the promo code as soon as we have it.

How do I get the phone?
Once your spot is confirmed in the cohort, we'll send you a discount code to order your dumb phone via the site above.
How big will the group be?
We have no idea since this is the first time, but ideally 10-20 people.
What can I expect from the in-person meet ups?
It'll be a group discussion centered around exploring life outside of screens, tapping into our creativity, and finding more joy and presence in our lives. There will be snacks.
