Event Description

Do you feel like the pace of life is too fast, too cluttered, or simply overwhelming?

The ‘Slow Living’ movement, which began in the 1980s, has evolved into a holistic approach to life—a philosophy, a way of living, and a lifestyle that encourages us to slow down and connect more deeply with ourselves and the world around us.

In this talk, we’ll delve into the origins of the ‘Slow Living’ movement, explore its impact on various areas of life, and consider how it can bring meaning to your own experiences—all while acknowledging the challenges it may present.

Through interactive elements, we’ll create space to share insights and inspire one another. Bring a pen, paper, and a willingness to explore your personal connection to slow living.

  • Duration: 60 mins
  • Online Zoom event: Join from your computer, phone or tablet (a recording will be available)

Meet the Host, Sarah

Sarah is an art therapist, artist, and creator of nature visualisations. Living in the North York Moors, she has a passion for nature, soothing activities and finding ways to feel connected. She reconnected with art-making 20 years ago after becoming ill and found that art-making and soothing activities made a huge difference to her emotional and physical health. This led her to train as an art therapist, graduating with her MA in 2011. Bringing a sense of soothing and feeling connected has remained her primary focus in her work and life.

More Information

What if I can’t make the event?

If a recording’s available for the event, you can still register for it and we will send you an email with a link to a recording shortly after it ends.

Will my camera be on and will I be visible to the other people?

Your camera and microphone does not need to be on for you to enjoy the event. The choice about whether to do this is completely yours.

How do I watch the live event?

Rest Less events are hosted on Zoom, a computer application that allows you to attend online events just by clicking a link. For detailed instructions, please go to our "FAQ" page, which you can find a link to in the nav bar at the top of the page.

How do I sign-up for and access the recording? (Recorded events only)

Book the event as normal (as if you are attending live). After the event ends you will automatically receive a post-event email with a link to the recording, as long as the event was recorded. You do not need to do anything else and there is no separate booking process for recordings only. Please note it can take up to 24 hours for Zoom to process recordings.
