"The Slow Life" gathering

The Slow Life

Would you like to find more time for family and friends? Develop new hobbies or revive long dormant passions? Replace hurry and pressure with calm and free time? Cecile Andrews, author of "Circle of Simplicity", will speak about making time for friends, family, community, nature, creativity, and an inner life. Small group discussions will follow on how we can live the Slow Life in all parts of our lives.

Opportunities to join simplicity circles in your neighborhood will be available.
