Slow Down Clubs
Ah yes, the slow movement. I like the concept and try to employ it in my life. GOOD magazine points to Slow Down London who kicked off their slow club. The point of the club is to challenge participants to take part in both daily and weekly tasks aimed at easing the pace of life.
To do this participants have to: daily notice the speed with which we do one particular thing; whether that be boiling the kettle or walking to the subway. Then once this week we have to walk somewhere slowly. The directions say “see if you can be fully aware as one foot contacts the ground, as the weight shifts to it, as the other foot lifts and moves ahead and then comes down to make contact with the ground in its turn.”
I’d be interested in creating one of these clubs with like-minded individuals around me. Maybe slow movement weekends where we meet up and just be slow. I’m serious (see #2). Who’s in?
