Computer Care Cafe is a spa for you and your laptop. Engage in a ritual cleansing of your laptop (inside and out), while learning about methods for building a care relationship with your devices. Care for yourself, too, with tea, pastries, and some light spa treatments. Please bring your laptop.

After arriving and grounding, we’ll move from the outside in, cleansing the external chassis before opening up our devices to organize and streamline our laptop’s software. Throughout, group and individual rituals will offer moments to reflect and more deeply connect with our devices. Tea and small pastries will be served.
