slow the FOLK down

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

The Adventure Volume

In this beautiful and earthy 128-page slow living lifestyle magazine, you’ll read about folks’s biggest adventures, and their smallest ones. Storms to survive, hardships to endure, careers to navigate, and parenting to figure out. Eagles to rescue, mud to play in, homes to move, and new cultures to learn. So many different ways to live that may feel or seem harder, but make life a story worth telling.

This Volume, dear readers, will bring you closer to adventure whether you’re called to it or not. And if you’re one of those who tend toward routine and safety and get anxious with the not knowing—with adventure—flip to the end. You’ll see we all survive. Survive these stories, at least.

Carpe diem, my fine folks.

Your magazine is one of the most beautifully presented that I have ever read—in Europe or here in Canada. It somehow has a calming effect in these difficult times.

Dominique Perron, West Kootenays, Canada

I am not a homesteader nor a “FOLKLIFE” kind of person—I don't have a vegetable garden, I never walk barefoot outside, I'm not even a mother. But after reading volume 4, my first exposure to FOLKLIFE, I just have to share with you how immensely touched I am with this thoughtful and inspiring magazine ... the content, the layout, the flow, the stories ... it's giving me a deep feeling of being comforted and nurtured.

I am spellbound.
Riveted. Breathless reading Volume 04. The intimacy enveloped me. I am so deeply, deeply in awe! For me, mothering has been my greatest source of pride and my most rewarding and important experience in life. This issue of FOLKLIFE is a masterpiece. Bravo to you!

What a pleasure! First, the pungent smell as I unwrapped the package. Then, the weight and feel of the paper in my hands; the visual satisfaction of the matte finish. The beautiful and evocative photographs. The heartfelt words and soul deep stories. Affirming. Recognizing. Thank you!!!

Privileged to have come across the first FOLKLIFE magazine which sent me to Galiano Island where I was privileged to stay for a week + hike every day + was even privileged enough to have dinner at @pilgrimme_rest !

Brooke Smith, Los Angeles, USA

This is just such a beautiful magazine. The content, the photography, and the quality--right down to the feel of the paper--just stunning. Thank you for pushing to make it happen, in these different and challenging times, because your efforts have brought a lot joy to people, including me.
