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.

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!

FOLKLIFE is all about slowing the FOLK down. And ain't there any better time to do it than during these karazy times! Put it on your bike, your board, your computer, your car, or your partner's mouth, wherever makes the most sense.

Medium one-liner: So it don't take up too much space. Perfect for a laptop or bike or a helmet!
Big Bumper Sticker: On two lines if you want it loud and clear! Get it on that bumper!
Wee square: It's on our water bottles and iPads! Where do you have it?

Please ensure your delivery info is correct.

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!!!

Mindy Joseph, Gabriola Island, Canada

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.
