a free template for a mini retreat (of sorts)

I’m keeping this one a little brief because I’d like you to explore what I’ve prepared. Remember in the last essay I’d mentioned being inspired by OFFLINE PRACTICE, and as a result wanted to create something similar but in the name of slowing down. Well, I ran with it and created a little something to share. I call it, In A Slow Way // a practice. It’s a free template that guides you through 3 days of practices. Take three days in a row or like the cadence of the workshop, every Sunday morning for the next few weeks.

If it resonates, is gobbled up, and circulated with the ease like brandy swirling in a snifter, than I’m onto something. If that’s the case, what would naturally come next is host it live, with you face to face ‘online’.

Keep me posted. I look forward to hearing what you think, how it feels, if anything

Yours, Erin
