Why we're starting Quiete

Most of us don’t decide to spend hours on our phones. It just happens: a message, a notification, a quick look that turns into half an evening.

Quiete started with a simple question. What would a weekend feel like if the phone wasn’t there at all — not on silent, not face down on the table, but safely locked away until Sunday?

A weekend, not a lecture

We’re not here to tell anyone that phones are bad. They’re useful, and you’ll get yours back. We just think it’s worth remembering what a slow morning, a long walk and a proper conversation feel like without one.

What comes next

Our pilot weekend in Sicily takes place in early 2027. If you’d like to be there, join the waiting list and we’ll be in touch as soon as the dates are set.
