Radical Slow Living

It's time to broaden our notion of what a Slow Life can look like.

Welcome to Slow Folk - a community for heart-centred entrepreneurs and rebellious creatives, thirsty for a slower life in a world obsessed with speed.

These are my notes and reflections from over a decade of life in the Slow Lane. If you’re ready to push back against busy to build a life of purpose and presence-over-perfection - please join me.

Welcome to the Unbusy Revolution.

What do you picture when you think of Slow Living?

Pastoral fields? A modern farmhouse? Linen-clad children running barefoot through the garden chasing chickens?

Do you think of a specific aesthetic?

Candles, flowers on the table, a basket full of farmers market finds, muted neutrals, a perfect blend of modern thrift-store and socially-responsible Slow Fashion?

All of those things sound lovely, to be sure.

Some of those things even have a place in my own slow life.

And yet I wonder . . .

Slow Living is gaining in popularity. Niche to be sure, but thriving and growing every day.

Is the dominant depiction of slow living on social media getting in the way of our actually living a rich, authentic, personal slow life?

What if we want to slow down, but our personal vibe is less #cottagecore, more 90’s punk rock?
