TAKE A LOOK INSIDE
Travel companion to slowing down in 2020 Welcome to the world of Slow Budapest’s Slow Year Planner 2020. You will soon be filling these pages with appointments, dates of friendly gatherings, theatre plays and hikes, plans and desires. Hopefully you’ll also leave a few pages blank to be later filled with unexpected, spontaneous and thus joyful things.
We do hope the Slow Year Planner will help you slow down this year as well. We’d like it to be your guide in experiencing joy, gratitude, rest and enjoying time spent with others. Therefore, mindfulness, slow attitude and of course a good amount of humour will accompany you throughout the year. We do hope you will forever remember a few slow days and wish slowing down to become a natural part of your life.
Enjoy your pleasant slowing down in 2020.
What do you wish for yourself this year?

Slowly we are awakening from our winter dreams and filling up with the urge to “do”. We may also use all this accumulated energy to pursue some joyful activities. Let’s say goodbye to winter with some delicious snacks and drinks and enjoy spending time with friends and family. Meanwhile, the ice outside is already melting and the first green shoot is emerging spring uncovers itself in tiny little changes. Let nature inspire you to experience the beauty of waiting.
