Why Start with a Kit?

There's a moment when you realize you can't keep living at this pace. When the constant rushing, endless notifications, and pressure to do more finally becomes too much.

You know you want to slow down, but where do you even begin? The Slow Living Starter Kit takes away the overwhelm of figuring it out yourself. Instead of spending weeks researching what you need or reading another book about intentional living, you can light a candle, open your journal, and take your first mindful pause today.

This isn't about perfection or complete life transformation overnight. It's about giving yourself permission to start – gently, simply, with tools that actually help.

Your Starter Kit Includes:

Slow Living Starter Guide – Gentle Guidance
A 24-page printed booklet with inspiration and simple steps to start your slower life. Because knowing where to begin is often the hardest part.

Papier Self-Care Journal – Your Sacred Space
A place for thoughts, gratitude, and slow reflections. Use it for morning pages, evening gratitude, or simply to untangle the thoughts that keep you awake at night. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is write down what’s in your head.

Relax Oil & Burner – Your Daily Reset
A calming scent ritual that signals to your nervous system: “It’s time to slow down now.” Light a tealight, let the fragrance fill the room, and allow your body to soften.

Spotify Slow Life Playlist – Soundtrack for Presence
Scan the code and discover a curated Spotify playlist to shift your pace. Gentle, grounding music to carry you from busyness into balance.

Creative Pause – Five Minutes of Flow
A watercolour coloring page, mini high quality paint strip, and brush. Not about art, but about presence. Just five minutes of colour can bring you back to yourself.

Three Tea Blends – A Ritual in a Cup
Choose your favourite blend, steep it slowly, and hold the cup in both hands. This simple act becomes a moment of mindfulness in the middle of a busy day.

Rose quarzt & Palo Stick – Symbols of Calm
Small reminders that you are allowed to pause. Place them where you rest, or simply hold them when you need grounding. Use them in whatever way feels right for you.
