Grounded: A Companion for Slow Living

Description

Grounded (adjective): used to describe a person who has a good understanding of what is really important in life. This book is your entry into a world that spins slowly and draws its inspiration from the earth, the ocean, the sun and the sky. Organised into chapters for the four seasons, each project will lead you to discover a new way to practise slow living and weave nature into your everyday life. Build a garden bed and plant seeds. Watch your vegetable garden grow, and pluck a tomato or two to make a salad. Go on a walk in the woods, build a campfire and then read the moon. Rediscover a childlike joy of nature through over 20 projects to cook, make or do outside. Grounded is the ideal way to put down your devices and spend time in natural surrounds with your friends, your family and, of course, yourself.

Anna Carlile is the founder of Viola Design, a communication design company that draws inspiration from nature and promotes design which celebrates and protects the environment. She lives in Melbourne, Australia, with her partner Nick and two children, Tasman and Freya. Grounded weaves together Anna's passions for sustainable living, spending time in nature and what it is to lead a slow life, well.
