Welcome to Slowmentum — where slow is transformative, not stagnant, and where the foundations for meaningful change are built over time. We’re redefining what it means to thrive by embracing slowness as a powerful force for lasting transformation, fostering a future rooted in balance, connection, and purpose.

Co-instigated in 2024 by Stephen Hilton and James Martin, Slowmentum is dedicated to reshaping entrenched systems by embedding regenerative principles into real-world projects. We see slowness as an antidote to capitalism’s relentless drive for accelerated consumption and growth, creating space for reflection, creativity, and more thoughtful, sustainable living.

Our work prioritises balance over burnout, imagination over exploitation, and collaboration over competition. By bridging sectors, we bring activists, creatives, and policymakers together to promote equity, resilience, and environmental sustainability in urban contexts.

Join us in rethinking economic systems for a future where people, planet, arts, and culture thrive. Whether you’re seeking collaboration, partnership, or guidance, Slowmentum is here to drive meaningful change and create lasting impact.
