Hi friends, I’m Michelle from Opting Out, based in Brighton, UK. Here I share regular posts on slow living, rest, and opting out of burnout culture, slow reading group, occasional yoga nidra rest practices plus my weekly Weekend Mood Board of what’s currently inspiring me.
It’s my dream to create a community of misfits, questioners and resters. Are you in? ✨
