There is a time of year when everything seems to slow down: the sun rises gently, the days get longer, nature becomes abundant and the body asks us for a break. It is summer, the season when, more than ever, we can rediscover the beauty of slow time.
But are we really capable of stopping? Of being without doing, without producing, without running? In a world that always wants us to be active, efficient and available, choosing slowness is a revolutionary act. It means listening to our own rhythms, finding space to breathe, to feel, to really be there.
Slowness is not inertia: it is presence. It is walking aimlessly along paths, letting instinct guide you. It is sitting and watching a leaf move in the wind. It is sleeping without an alarm clock, eating by listening to your body, talking quietly or remaining silent. In summer, there is room to find oneself: in the small things, in simple gestures. Every moment can become a ritual, if lived with care.
We often have the feeling that time slips away, that the days are never enough. Yet, when we slow down, something changes: the hours expand, perceptions sharpen, the present becomes more vivid. A weekend in nature can be enough to rediscover it. Sleeping in a yurt, waking up in natural light, walking barefoot through the meadows: all this helps us get out of “doing” mode and into “feeling” mode.
The earth is in no hurry: the seasons follow their rhythm, trees do not force growth. Nature has no goals to achieve, but processes to live. And when we immerse ourselves in it, we too can retune to a time that is truer, more our own.
If you feel the need to stop, if you wish for a different summer, made of silence, nature and simplicity, come and visit us at Due Cuori e una Yurta: here, time has a different rhythm, and every moment can become an opportunity to rediscover yourself.
