It’s still 2008 outside!
Touch Grass Inc. is a nonprofit helping those of use who were raised before technology reconnect with real life. We’re here to spark curiosity, get you back outside, and remind you what it’s like to feel things again.
You haven’t lost your spark, you just need to touch grass.
what’s the problem?
I had a great childhood!
Totally — but how’s adulthood going? When’s the last time you climbed a tree, ran around barefoot, or did something just because it felt good in the moment?
These days, we spend so much time looking at life through glass screens, windows, lenses, feeds. Real, direct experiences (the kind that wake up your senses and make you feel present) are getting harder to come by. And honestly, that’s a problem.
Touch Grass Inc. is here to help fix that. We’re all about creating space for real, offline moments.
Because the more time you spend offline, the more you start to feel…like you again
so what can we do?
It starts small. Put your phone down for a bit. Go outside without a plan. Get bored on purpose. Let your senses lead instead of your notifications.
At Touch Grass Inc., we’re making it easier to do just that with spaces, experiences, and even a few tools to help you break out of the scroll and into the real world. Whether it’s a walk, or just lying in the grass for a while, we’ve got your back.
Because sometimes, all it takes is a little nudge to remind you how good it feels to just be outside.
The science is clear, we need to touch grass
