The Slow Tribe
Slow Tribe
In an all-you-can-eat information age, we choose to savor one good meal.
Take back control of how you live.
June–August Season 1｜Theme: Deep Work
Sound familiar?
You only meant to check one thing, but half an hour later you can't even remember what you came for. At the end of the day, you can't really say what happened.
But it's hard to do alone. So here's a group of people, walking with you to find your rhythm again.
You're not the only one feeling this way
What is The Slow Tribe?
We're not
- a solo journey
- an online course
- another group that adds to your anxiety
We are
- ✓ a group walking the same path
- ✓ a place you belong
- ✓ a way of choosing how to live
You don't have to explain why you want to slow down.
Everyone here has already made the same choice.

Tobie
Someone who found a way out of information anxiety
I used to be a marketer whose life was hijacked by notifications and dashboards. I know that feeling of drowning in information and being terrified of missing out.
I started this Tribe hoping to find a group of people who want to practice walking slowly, together, even when the world is sprinting.
