About
La Vie En Slow

We believe connection is essential to wellbeing, and slowing down is a way to get there

What guides us

At La Vie en Slow, we believe:

  • Rest is productive in its own way.
  • Nature has a remarkable ability to bring us back to ourselves.
  • Meaningful connection grows when there is time and space for it.
  • Wellbeing isn’t something we earn. It’s something we nurture.
  • Community is built through small moments shared together.
  • A beautiful life is often made of ordinary moments fully experienced.

This isn’t a checklist or a philosophy to perfect. It’s simply the way we try to move through the world.

These values come to life through our gatherings, sound sessions and shared experiences. 

Our story

We had both been drawn to a slower way of living long before we met in Spain in 2017 —both on solo journeys at the time. That shared rhythm became the foundation of our life together. Over the years, slow travel and time spent close to nature shaped the way we moved through the world.

In 2023, we lost a dear friend, Antoine, to suicide. He was part of many of those journeys—someone who loved our slow approach to life. In the depths of grief, slowing down became our refuge. It gave us space to rest, to feel, and to grieve without urgency. It also deepened our compassion for those navigating emotional pain, burnout, anxiety, and disconnection.

La Vie En Slow was born from a desire to create the kinds of spaces that helped us heal—spaces that invite people to breathe more deeply, move more gently and remember that wellbeing is not something to chase, but something to return to.

We are Thuy and Will—partners in life, slow travelers at heart, and companions on this journey to inspire a little more presence and slowness into everyday life.

Read our reflections on connection, belonging, and what it means to be human together. 

This work carries the memory of our dear friend…

A gentler way of moving through life
