Clear Intentions with Diane BodenEP244: The Open Air Life with Linda Åkeson McGurkJust like there is slow food, slow parenting, and slow entertainment, friluftsliv is a form of slow nature.

The concept is humble, but revolutionary: Live simply. Go outside often. Be kind to the earth. Friluftsliv can be as simple as an evening walk around the neighborhood or as advanced as a multiday backpacking expedition in the remote wilderness, or anything in between.
