Slow the FOLK Down
An award-winning semi-annual lifestyle magazine celebrating folks who live close to the earth, with intention and creativity.

The Waste Volume
With our usual touch of connection, vulnerability, creativity, and slow, this beautiful Volume showcases a fabulous rainbow of all things waste related. From trash to treasure, within these pages you’ll find folks facing and transforming waste, reusing the things in their world to make life more beautiful, more reciprocal, and more thoughtful. Folks who look at literal waste in new ways, whether it be from their toilets to the earth or how bodily waste affects their looks. And then there’s the folks who question how they waste every day, whether it be their time, a waste of wanting, or the rampant stuff of life.
We hope that in reading, you too ponder how waste appears in your world.
