    nicholas mcleanThe Slow Way Retreat Part 1 Feed Me Slowly - Somatic Eating And Moving Retreat

    In a world ruled by speed and distraction, The Slow Way Retreat offers a gentle invitation to pause, smell, taste and reconnect with the magic of life through food. Guided by Nicholas McLean, FeedmeGreen founder, we will explore intuitive SomaSensing movement, presence in nature, and of course The Slow Feast — a practice of somatic eating that awakens the senses and cultivates presence. This weekend of slowness restores balance to the nervous system, deepens awareness, and awakens the joy of living. Through slowness, life comes alive.
