MANIFESTO

To live slowly is a conscious choice. It is an acknowledgement that good things in life take time to come into full being; to become perfect creations. It is an awareness of the fact that the world has become too fast, and that our bodies and minds cannot keep up with it anymore. It is an intention
to pay more attention to the little details that often get lost in the rush
of the world. To live life slowly is to live more mindfully and more purposefully. Slowing down means becoming more aware of our presence and our patterns of behavior. It means becoming more mindful of every breath, every intention, and every action. It means becoming more conscious of the fact that life is an interconnected system of organisms and agents which depend on one another. Slowing down is not a sign of laziness. On the contrary, slowing down will eventually allow us to hear that voice deep down inside of us; a voice that speaks without judgment and acts without fear; a voice that awakens, transmutes, and heals. To be able listen to that voice in a world that has become too loud is a revelation. To be able to be consistently tuned into that voice is a revolution.
