We at Slow Family Living are offering a way of thinking about, seeing and implementing family life. We present the science, the practicals and the lens for understanding, believing and appreciating the richness of building and maintaining lifelong family connections. We want people to see that family life can be the well where members can go to fill up and to have fun. We provide tools, support and inspiration that guide people in slowing down, connecting and enjoying life as individuals and within the family.

We created this book as a tool to help families discover and create their own Family Mission Statement. It is our hope that the questions in this booklet will help bring you and your family to a clear understanding of your desires, needs and values as a family unit—from which you can begin the process of allowing your own mission to unfold.

Slow Family Living is a revolution in the way we think about, embrace and implement family life. It was born out of our belief that family life is being hi-jacked by societal messages that more is better, faster is greater and that you and your children are at risk of being left behind, unless you buy in NOW. It is about allowing family life to unfold in a way that is joyfully and consciously connected. This means slowing it down, finding comfort in the home, and creating the space to see and honor the family as an entity, while simultaneously keeping sight of each member as a unique and valuable individual. We believe that family life can serve as the incubator for deeper compassion, creativity, love, harmony, humor, appreciation, respect, fun, ingenuity, conflict resolution, peace, friendship, growth, communication and, perhaps above all else, true, unending and powerful joy.
