After a year of Netflix, Animal Crossing and too much time on Tik Tok – it’s time to shake up our downtime.
LET’S BEAT THE MONOTONY
We’ve Been Asked to Hold Still…
Hopefully it’s only a matter of time before we can meet in IRL – but until then, here’s a digital community to scratch that itch. Let’s shake it up and make some new friends to beat the inevitable loneliness we’re all feeling. Sign up for our email list to be invited to our free Slack community! Lets network while sharing what we’ve been reading, watching + learning. Everyone is welcome!
Think before you speak.
Read before you think.

Inspired by Joanna Goddard – this is for all of us that are saving digital newspaper clippings like a new age Grandma. Let’s get together and share our favourite reads with friends! Less commitment than a whole book – pandemic perfection.
It’s a community! Hosted on Slack – it’s free to join. Everyone is welcome: no matter your age, gender, location, etc. You’ll choose which channels to participate in based on topics that are relevant to your life + interests. The purpose of this initiative is to meet new people that share common interests outside of our “bubbles.”
New to Slack? No problem! We’ll help you get acquainted with the platform – just reach out and let us know you need a tutorial! It’s available on your phone, as a desktop app or in a browser window. It should be accessible to everyone.
Everyone that enters the Slack community will be agreeing to Hold Still’s simple set of rules. They will be sent out with every new invitation for review – but they are also available right here!
It is every community member’s responsibility to read the rules and be familiar with periodic and announced changes.Â
Here is a preview of the channels that will be available so you can prepare your small talk:
The-Directory, The-Park, The-Book-Club, Articles-Club, AV-Club, Playlists-Podcasts,
Noms, The-Playground, Craft-Corner, Teachers-Pet
You can see longer descriptions of each channel on this page.Â
Do you have a book you love + can’t wait to talk about? Heard a great podcast that’s blowing your mind? That’s what Hold Still is all about! Sign up to join the Slack community and participate in real time discussions – and tag us with your recommendations on Instagram and we’ll share them in our stories!
If you’re looking for something to indulge in now, check the highlights on Instagram or go scrolling through the Slack channels – they’re searchable!
