Putting DOWN Our CeLLPhones opens our hands and our hearts to a whole new world.

When we put our cell phones down
there is no telling what we can create together.

The Kranky Thumb Collective vision is to empower humans to 1) remember what it means to be human without our screened devices, 2) reintegrate with our spiritual selves, and 3) revalue each other, all creatures, and the planet.


The Kranky Thumb Collective was founded as a nonprofit in February 2025. (As you can see we are but a wee babe of an organization!) Our goal is to work with individuals, groups, communities and organizations to empower folks to tangibly redefine their relationships with screened devices for the sake of humanity and the natural world.

Let’s REConnect to Ourselves Together!

The Kranky Thumb Collective, in partnership with Tumbuh Global is actively building the resources, community, and activities you can engage with in person or in a safe and trusted online space. Now some of you may be asking, “If I need to connect online, isn’t that the same things as being on my phone?” And we say, “Nope.” Because when you connect with the Kranky Thumb Collective, you are not madly scrolling through your phone. You will encounter other folks who will encourage you, and challenge you to put down your phone because they too want to make their thumbs happy. Happy Thumb, Happy Life!
