What happens when we allow ourselves to slow down?

Green Renaissance’s film ‘Slow Down – Abandon Our Multi Tasking Lives’ takes this question as its starting point, in a melodic depiction of life’s slower-paced states: gratitude, flow, patience.

On the film, they say: “Most of us know the feeling well… as we grow up and fill our days with more busyness, time seems to fly by faster and faster.”

“We need to find ways to slow down a little. Once we strip away the noise of everyday life, our perspective shifts and we experience life in a whole new way.”

“It doesn’t require a change of life, but rather a change of mind.”

Weaving together perspectives from individuals around the world, the film explores what busyness is doing to us as human beings, and what we can give back to ourselves when we find a way to slow down.

“You have the right to invest in yourself. We could all do with more of that.”

This film features : Warren Bradley, Antoinette Pienaar, Trui Snyman and Charlie Galli
