Hello, I’m Michelle from Opting Out, based in Brighton, UK. Subscribers can enjoy monthly posts around slow living, rest, and opting out of burnout culture, plus my weekly Weekend Mood Board of what’s currently inspiring me. Paid subscribers get access to many other offerings, including the Slow Reading Group, live Co-Resting sessions, yoga nidra audios and pre-recorded full-length restorative yoga classes.
It's my intention to create a community of resters, questioners and misfits. Are you in? ✨
