Welcome to Slow Into The Seasons.
A place of heartfelt words from a quieter life
and home to a yoga and mindfulness community for gentle folk.
A place that (I hope) encourages you to Breathe | (Re)connect | Live in Your Truth.
Hello! I’m Alice Elgie, also known as Wandering Alice: writer of words, nature lover, devoted yogi, wife, ma, and perpetual seeker.
I live a rather nomadic life with a focus on simplicity and slowness and you’ll find me flitting between narrowboats, cabins, vans, cottages, and yurts; anywhere from the Highlands of Scotland to rural France and the mountains of Spain—anywhere I can live in a more connected and less encumbered way.
This space is a place for me to share stories from that life and by becoming a free subscriber, you will receive these words directly into your inbox once a month.
🙏🏻 Slow Community🙏🏻
It is also a space to connect with my lovely 🌟 Slow Friends (paid subscribers) 🌟who each month, for £5 (any currency), enjoy:
Seasonal-inspired mindfulness offerings*
Community connection opportunities
Weekly LIVE Zoom gatherings and practices
Access to the complete (growing!) library of practices.
*Guided meditations, yoga classes, sound journey experiences, breathwork and mantra practices, five-day nature-inspired journalling courses.
“My hope is that I can be a gentle reminder to us all to slow down, take a breath, and make time to curiously connect with our deepest selves—and to share the journey with each other.”
Whether you are here to enjoy heartfelt words or to explore the yoga and mindfulness practices found within my Slow Friend community, I welcome you with a warm hug.
Please do connect in the comment boxes—it lifts my heart to ‘meet’ you, dear reader, and to have the opportunity to get to know each other on a deeper level.
With love,
Alice

Some kind words:
“This is a community filled with gentle souls who appreciate making time for self care. The offerings feed my mind, body, and soul.” - Amanda
"It's a joy to listen to your beautiful words and your beautiful voice and be present to the world as I go about my days." - Meg
"Thank you so much for encouraging all of us to slow down and really THINK about our lives. You are a gift," - Kim
“Alice's words breathe, conveying a sense of stillness and a gentle, kind presence." - Hanna
"Since being part of Alice’s Slow Friend community I am far more connected with my emotions and my body, more grounded and aware - more mindful. I also notice that I am generally able to be calmer when dealing with tricky situations. The journalling exercises have rekindled my love of writing, which is amazing." - Katherine
"Your five-day journalling experiences have been like a doorway, opening my mind to question and entertain other opportunities I might not otherwise have explored. Thank you so much, Alice!" - Susan
“Being a Slow Friend is a low-cost, easy option for people who are so busy with life that they rarely take a moment to slow down and breathe. I love the regular videos, chat spaces and meditation/journalling prompts which are offered without the pressure or commitment of a regular class. I don't always join in 'on time' but knowing I can access them whenever it suits me gives a bit of inspiration, support and peace when I need it most.” - Alice, London.
