Slow Social

Slow Social Slow is a revolution, an alternative to our obsession with speed. Enter Slow Social™, a new way of relating. But that’s not what’s happening. It’s time.

Social media, smart phones, fast food restaurants, high speed travel. The world is moving at incredible speed, and all the while we’re told our opportunity for connection is increased. The instinct is to disconnect and replace real, nourishing connection – which is vital to our well-being – with pseudo connection. This feels good in the short term and leaves us isolated, lonely and unsatisfied in

the long term. But something can be done about it. Slow food, slow s*x, slow world, slow cities – these movements are part of the antidote. Enter Slow Social™ a meta company whose purpose is to integrate the above mentioned slow movements to create community and space for connection and personal, mutual growth. Through several different aspects we offer coaching, consulting, seminars and workshops, and above all, containers within which we can CONNECT AND PLAY, fully present and alive with each other.

Practice doing nothing - then - we can accomplish...ANYTHING."

Use as an opportunity to practice doing nothing!
