What is Slow Life?

Do you feel that the pace of life is too high, the demands too many and the pursuit of achievement too intense?

Have you already studied for a few years and need a break — or want a year of academic and personal replenishment before taking the next step? Then this line could be in the spotlight for you.

Here we combine philosophy, research and practical exercises to explore how we can create a more balanced everyday life. The goal is to slow down and give you time to reflect, develop, and figure out what actually matters to you.

Throughout the year we work with:

To prioritize wisely and perform with lower shoulders

Being more present in the moment and reducing distractions

Becoming more aware of one's own needs, values and choices

Finding Mica — Small but Meaningful Pleasures in Everyday Life

We also focus on sustainable choices, using natural, local produce wherever possible. This is a year for those who want to live more holistically — with both their head and their heart.

This is the line for those who need to find a good balance between work and leisure.

Do you have good intentions but poor execution skills? Are you easily distracted by screens and find your concentration has deteriorated? This year, you can establish routines that actually last. We use nature, silence, community and various creative methods to learn, grow and find tranquility throughout the year. You will have the opportunity to test out digital detox and explore activities that slow down the pace and make a profit in everyday life. Here we are not just living slower — we are doing it in practice.
Here we find the balance between social community and self-time, which is useful to carry on in life.

‍
Are you interested in how stress affects your life and want to learn how you can take action to create a more sustainable everyday life?
Do you want impulses for change, creative energy and tools to improve your own life?

We are committed to participation, and you will therefore be involved in shaping the content of the line based on your own goals and interests. You will therefore have ample opportunity to immerse yourself in various self-selected projects throughout this year.

Course content

There is no simple solution to how to achieve a better balance in everyday life. Therefore, we come across theories, philosophies and practical tasks that provide a better understanding of how body and mind are connected.

No items found.

Equipment

There are no requirements for equipment on the line. You can bring your personal equipment such as laptop, notebooks, hobby equipment, comfortable workout clothes and outdoor clothing for all seasons. Otherwise, we have what it takes in school.

‍

Facilitation

Certain activities we do on the line we can facilitate some physical challenges if it is compatible with the content of the line. Contact us to hear what we can do to accommodate your needs. We can also find alternative solutions if the activities are too extensive, for example by hospitalization on other lines when the activity is not feasible.

Admission

We don't have too many criteria for who can apply, but you have to be 18 years or become so during the first semester. You can apply from 1 October to next year's courses and we are admitting students on an ongoing basis from November 15. Then you will receive an email from us with a response to the application. We will continue to admit students until the seats are filled. In some cases, the composition of the line will determine whether you can fit or have to be put on a waiting list. For example, the composition of instruments may have something to say. If there are more applicants for a line than there is room for, your applicant number will be able to determine whether or not you can fit. In some cases, gender balance will have an impact.

Line teachers usually most often contact those who apply. Then you can get to know each other a little better and find out if you have found the line that suits you best. Maybe you have some questions, are unsure or have something you want to tell about yourself.
