A little reflection on The Art of Slowing Down 🤍
A couple of weeks ago, we spent an afternoon together doing something that can feel surprisingly difficult - giving ourselves permission to slow down.
To move gently. To be quiet. To receive. To turn our attention inward without needing to fix, achieve or get anywhere.
Throughout the afternoon we kept coming back to the question “Who am I?” not looking for an answer, but simply creating enough space to listen.
We journalled on what remains when we take away the roles we play, the expectations we carry and all the things we think we should be doing. We considered what we might hear if we became a little quieter, and what parts of ourselves might be asking for more care, attention or space.
There was Yin, sound, massage, cacao, journalling and plenty of stillness. But more than anything, there was an opportunity to simply be.
I think sometimes slowing down can feel like doing nothing, when really it gives us the chance to notice so much.
A special thank you to all of the beautiful local businesses who contributed to our goodie bags, filling them with thoughtful self-care products and little rituals for everyone to take The Art of Slowing Down home with them and continue creating these moments of care in their everyday lives.
And to everyone who trusted Sanna and I to hold this space for you, thank you. It was such a gentle and special afternoon to share.
A little reminder that you don't always have to be moving forward. Sometimes the practice is simply allowing yourself to be where you are.
