We're all about finding moments of slow in our busy, modern lives. Slowwell is a space for lovers of books and self-care; a place to bring ritual into your life with slow brew - filter coffee; and, a wellbeing space for those seeking to understand themselves, and others, better. We're squeezing a lot into a small space but we're committed to sharing the ethos that binds it all together - slowing down, appreciating what you have, and enjoying the heck out of your life. Our products and services are focused on one thing: wellbeing. We believe that stepping out of autopilot and into your life is one of the greatest things you can do for your mind, body and spirit. By slowing down, you start to pay attention to your life; to how you go about your day; and the payoff is a better connection with yourself, with others, and the world. But more than a store, Slowwell’s goal is to become a lifestyle brand with our own products, wellbeing and consulting services and workshops. Slowwell will continue led by my partner and wife, Danielle. I will go back to the workforce and will support her in anyway I can. Show less
