Our mission

Many modern technologies have stopped us being present, diminished human relationships and distanced us from reality.

We are on a mission to repair the individual and societal damage caused by these harmful technologies and create ethically designed social technology that makes a positive impact on the world.

Resbite will bring communities together in a real way, enabling people to feel healthier and happier whilst rediscovering their authentic sense of self and the world around them.
