My Slow and Simple | The Collective

Since the COVID-19 pandemic landed, I have struggled, daily. And I think you may have, too.

'My Slow and Simple | The Collective', is a seasonal online book club, gathering those who crave a soul-led, simple life.

Here we share uplifting words, positive images, and we weave a little storytelling into our everyday, to encourage each other to live with mindfulness and self-discovery.

There is no more expectation than that.

I'm so glad you're here 🌙💛 You are also welcome to join us on Facebook www.face ...more

[close] Okay okay...I know I said no more structured formal Book Club...but... I miss it!

I know I'm hopeless at feeling 'tethered' to stuff...so maybe sporadic book choices, rather than monthly, will work better (**update - I'm now considering us having eight annual books, each picked on the dates of the major seasonal changes of the year (so next will be spring Equinox 21st March) What do you reckon?)

I would love to hear what you'd like to put on our 2021 wishlist to read? And I would absolutely love us to have a mixture of fiction and non-fiction titles.

And....here is our first! Wintering by Katherine May. A beautiful seasonal memoir, you can read it in January, take a little longer, post in this group when something interesting comes up in the text...it's up to you. I've been wanting to nest down with this for ages...and it's the perfect time of year...and the world is crying out for work like this right now too.
