Levi Felix and Forest met in elementary school in the 1990s, and eventually connected with Brooke in high school. Levi and Forest played in bands together, and everyone eventually went on to college.
In 2007, Levi moved to Los Angeles, and while settling into a duplex, he serendipitously bumped into Brooke who was renting the other unit. They became fast friends and by 2009 had fallen in love.

In an era of constant technological acceleration and innovation, an overabundance of screen time, information overload, tech-driven anxiety, social media everything, internet addiction, a constant sense of FOMO, selfies, and being endlessly tethered and always available, Digital Detox aims to inspire, educate and empower our collective generation to create more mindful, meaningful, and balanced lives, both online and off.
We support teachers, school administrators, and parents with the tools they need to provide students with a tech-balanced education.
From summer camps for adults, to unplugged nights out and mystery trips, Digital Detox creates immersive experiences that allow you to disconnect and reconnect.
The Digital Detox Research arm works tirelessly to better understand the impact of technology on our lives.
