There is no rushing here. There is no need. The lifestyle and the energy is—slowness and calm. Without it being a Thing. It’s not a Movement. It’s not some productivity hack masquerading as wellness. It’s not another course that somebody is selling. It’s the culture—of enjoyment, pleasure, and the stubborn insistence that all of it, all of the moments, shall be filled with passion.

when I’m in the States, I feel like I have to fight for my happiness, tooth and nail, to carve out a space to breathe, to mindfully slow down. And yet here, it all feels easy. It’s like a slow wave cresting over me—enjoyment is second-nature and to savor is the most natural thing in the world. There is an energy to every city—in LA, it’s hustle; in Cannes, it’s savor.
