For all those Canadians checking in having seen the CBC documentary, the Globe and Mail recently wrote this about Under Pressure:

“A look at the mismanagement of the contemporary child: overprotected, overindulged, over-stimulated. An indispensable, anecdotal, comnmonsensical guide to why our kids are depressed, lazy and fat, and what we can do about it.”

Well, it’s been a long time in gestation, but I’m finally ready to run my first Slow Retreat.

Or even better: let’s talk about Slow Sex.

On Friday, January 15th, I will be doing just that in a public lecture in San Francisco. The topic is all things Slow, with a special emphasis on sex.

If you’re in town, come along and join the conversation. Don’t be shy. There won’t be any nudity. At least not from me…
