Each day, our senses and our minds are steeped in a dense soup of digital and analogue media that shapes how we feel, what we think, and how we show up in the world.
From morning notifications to evening binges, a highly individual blend of media has become as essential to our daily lives as the food we eat. Yet unlike our growing awareness of physical nutrition, we rarely pause to examine how our media consumption is impacting us, inside and out.
The calls to improve our diets have grown louder and more urgent — however, they are often limited to diagnosis without guidance, static to-do lists, or focused on a category of platform and/or device detached from the reality of blended consumption.
Media Rehab takes a different approach: an experiential, structured programme that will help you systematically take your diet apart, scrutinise it with curiosity (and without judgement), and rebuild it to work for, rather than against, you.
Over 21 days, you'll be conducting an experiment in which your mind is your lab and the contents of your daily media soup your materials.
Using a combination of guided observation and reflection, you will build an understanding of the difference between consumption that nourishes and that which depletes you.
In turn, you'll make commitments around what to keep, what to reduce, and what to move towards.
By submitting your contact details you agree to receiving communications from Media Rehab.
Rather than devices, apps, or platforms, Media Rehab focuses on the contents of your media: the stories, narratives, and ideas that enter your mind through your senses and shape your thoughts, beliefs, and sense of self.
We won't instruct you on what to read, watch, listen to, or who/what to follow. Instead, we provide frameworks that help you discover what works for you — and what doesn't.
3 connected protocols — Feelings, Soups & Rhythms — providing different lenses through which to observe your current diet.
21 days in total — 5 per protocol, bookended by a baseline audit and a day of integration.
No changes to your media diet are required throughout the programme.
Cognitive & emotional wellbeing: a quieter mind, calmer nervous system & clearer thoughts
Agency over what & when you consume; your diet will serve you, not media creators or platforms that disregard your wellbeing
Stronger filters for navigating current & future media cycles, recognising malnutritious media to minimise or avoid
