The Slow Road

I don't normally post here on a Tuesday, but I just wanted to take the opportunity to tell you tickets to the first of our Slow Living Workshops are now available and I couldn't be more excited!The Slow Road is a half-day workshop designed to help you create a slower, simpler life.Co-hosted by myself and Bele Masterman of Blah Blah Magazine, we'll be sharing gentle and practical ways to slow down and simplify in a world that values speed, consumption and constant connection.You'll walk away feeling refreshed, motivated and inspired, but just as importantly, you'll also leave with a range of tools to use in your everyday life. You'll learn how to uncover your priorities, live mindfully, create rhythms and escape the burden of your clutter.What's more, you'll learn about these things in the company of others who want the same for their own lives and you'll have the opportunity to ask questions of Bele and myself as we share our own (very different) journeys towards a slower, simpler life.

Workshop Details:

Date: Sunday 26th July, 11am - 3pm.Venue: The gorgeous (and somewhat unexpected) Lewers Gallery in Emu Plains.One of my favourite places in the Sydney area, Lewers is close to where I grew up and somewhere I take my kids on the regular. It has amazing gardens, three beautiful exhibition spaces and a cafe that serves exceptionally good local food, coffee and cocktails.We chose the gallery because it exemplifies slow living and offers you an amazing chance to reset, refresh and reflect on the life you want to live, plus it's just so ridiculously pretty.Inclusions: Light refreshments will be provided throughout the day, and you are more than welcome to bring your own lunch or buy something from the cafe on-site. (I can highly recommend the grilled haloumi burger!)Tickets:  We want to keep the workshop small and intimate so places are limited.  Tickets are available here.We can't wait to see you there!Also, we've already had a lot of questions about workshops in other cities.

• Gold Coast and Brisbane folk - we're thinking about a couple of events in mid-August and will keep you posted.
• Melbourne people - we've had a lot of requests so please know we're working on it and will update you when we have details.
• International readers - thank you so much for taking the survey last week! Portland, Chicago, Atlanta, London and Berlin all represented super strong. I'm working on plans for workshops and will let you know details as soon as I can.

Sydney friends, grab your tickets to The Slow Road here - we look forward to seeing you there.
