SLOW

Much of humanity is having a slower life in many ways.

We are older before we are allowed alone, older before we leave home, older before we become adults, older before we become independent, older before we get married, older before we can get our own home, older before we have kids, older before we grow up, older before we break any rules and older before we die.

But having a slower life is not the same as choosing to live slower in a more balanced, meaningful and life-affirming way.

In an age of busyness and “time poverty” we can make a countercultural choice to rebel against the norm that “faster is better” and choose better rather than faster. We can take a longer-term view of our life and our world and not treat everything in life as disposable, including our time.

Slow living is a life philosophy, a state of mind and being that is purposeful, organic and natural creating connection with ourself, those around us and our world.

We can choose a conscious, intentional, mindful and deeper life that is easier, saner, balanced and less stressed.
