Four Seasons of Slow Living
Seasonal slow living is for all of us. Thank you for joining me to take a moment to appreciate the beauty of the four seasons with me in the garden, the orchard, and the kitchen.
I have missed you, loves! I will be back for you this summer with many more videos filmed in my newly renovated kitchen, my home library, and my garden. If you haven't yet, please do check out my Substack
( theancestralhomekeeper.substack.com/ ) where I post essays and photos more frequently.
Take good care of yourselves!
Love,
Kristina

Slow Living | an ordinary life to change the world
Просмотров 1,5 тыс.9 месяцев назад
What does slow living mean to you? Can an ordinary life really affect the world, and change it for the better? Can the small choices we make in how we live our everyday lives have a big meaning to larger society? And what role does slow living play in all of this? Today we visit an orchard for our annual family apple picking day. Then we will make a rose apple tart with red currant glaze, apple...
What is Slow Living? Ancestral Homekeeping + Slow, Simple Living EXPLAINED

Thank you for joining me in my kitchen and my garden (both of which are under construction at the moment!) for a discussion on things very close to my heart. And thank you to all of you who have subscribed ...

Staying Present | a simple mindful life

Thank you all so much for being here! Today’s video is a little different- my kitchen has been under construction for the past few months, and I’ve had to improvise a bit. In this video, I resurrect my sourdough starter to make bread, use my instant pot to make pasture raised beef bone broth, and chop way too many onions for a French-inspired onion and white bean soup. I’ve been using this time...

    My favorite slow living channel. Slow living in the OC suburbs here, raising little girls while wearing many of the same aprons I see on you! 😊 I so appreciate how your musings never end up at reliance on a patriarchal god or buying more/“the right” things the way so many of these channels do. May we find more women like us around us… and are you willing to drop the recipe for that pumpkin(?) bread in Autumn?

      It’s a play on french onion soup made with veal stock and heirloom white beans! And then yes, croutons and a melted Gruyère-type cheese on top. 💛

    Oh it is so wonderful to see a video from you ! So relaxing and inspiring. Everything you said was exactly where I’m at, esp the autumn portion. I agree wholeheartedly! I do feel the overwhelming majority of all of our elected officials don’t have anyone’s best interest but a hidden unsustainable capitalism agenda. Being a hsp and empath, it exhausts me hearing all of it at times. I am striving to find balance with not hiding away and keeping current with the world events. Sometimes I think we just aren’t supposed to be able to hear it ALL, every day nonstop. Thank you!❤

    I am one of the children raised in a slow life. We had a garden at home, picked our own apples and mushrooms and I learned the beauty of stargazing, sunlight and boredom. I think it is a wonderful way to grow up, but when I became an adult and it was time for me to get out into the world, it made me sad. I felt out of place, disconnected from everyone and lonely in the crowd. It is so sad to see the disconnect of people from everything around and in them, to see the useless haste and lack of valuation of all the beauties that reality has to give. People rather complain that it's cold and wet instead of enjoying the sound of the rain and the crystals of the frost. It made it very difficult for me to find a new place where I could feel at home. And still, I miss my childhood home, the garden with the smell of roses in the air after a rainshower, the taste of upcoming thunder or first-night frost. They are wonders all around when you live slowly, stop the hassle and indeed look, but they are so hard to find in places where society is loud.

    You mentioned the very reason I have found your channel. A dysregulated nervous system. I would love to hear more about how you keep calm and centered with so much coming at you (especially if you are online) as well as how you rebalance after a couple of days of errands or having to be in town. I have a health condition I am recovering from, that involves the nervous system and it's important for me to stay peaceful and, what I am learning as I "listen", to be at my natural pace. A turtle. I have had many memories come up recently of my life before I married, and I always had time after work to watch an old black and white French film, or one of my 2 days off was spent by a pool at my apartment. Since marrying and children I am realizing I don't do any of that. The very things I needed, I still need. So I was searching for the toping of living at a slower pace then society, and your channel came up. I look forward to hearing more, as you can. Peace be with you.

    I just subscribed to your very wholesome and informative channel! But I’m so sorry to see that this last video I watched was the last video!😢 Im sure the business of life, especially in the summertime, has given us much to do! Myself included. I just wanted you know that your channel is very uplifting and your voice says it all about yourself! I loved hearing you describe life in itself. Had to laugh in one video about you still driving a minivan as my husband and I still drive one after so many years. We don’t carry children anymore, just pets.🤣So thank you for all of the videos you shared! They were truly enjoyed!

    Most people have no idea how to chill and slow down. And it’s not their fault. Everyone is constantly telling u what they need and people are constantly contacting u and all the demands of errands and mundane etc. u need to have a strong ability to say no thank u I’m doing my thing or not answer, don’t text back right away and straight up ignore. If u don’t know how to do it western society will eat u Alice and you’ll become sick from constant cortisol. Knowing how to procrastinate can be a gift. Putting things off so ur mind can rest be in the moment enjoy ur loved ones and take care of urself. Also if u don’t free ur schedule up from all the bullshit then u won’t have the time to be in nature and exercise which r some of the most crucial things to our well-being. When I learned this years ago it transformed. I’m a very productive entrepreneur and also very active physically in many ways and have many gatherings that I host etc. yet I know how to be slow. The catch 22 is u can be crazy productive and u can know how to be slow. It’s just about doing it when it feels right and not forcing. Check out zen if u haven’t
