Hey! It's so nice to meet you!

I’m so glad you found your way here and I invite you to step right in so we can Slow Into The Seasons together with heartfelt words, nature-inspired journalling, and mindfulness practices.

Simplify | (Re)connect | Breathe

About Me…

My name is Alice Elgie, also known as Wandering Alice. I’m a writer and yogi passionate about simplifying life, slowing down and exploring connections between nature and self.

Within this online space I share words on life, death, and everything in between, lead seasonal journalling courses, and offer mindfulness practices that encourage us to delve deep.

In my quest for slow simplicity — and greater opportunity to live a life true to my heart — fifteen years ago with my husband, one-year-old daughter, and our doggie, we sold our house in the UK and left our secure income to go in search of a different way of living...

Espana, 2008.

This adventure has seen us travelling in vans through Europe, wandering the UK by narrowboat, living in a yurt in the Scottish Highlands, a smallholding in Central Portugal and a bijou house on a Greek island (amongst other things!).

In 2024 we’ll be splitting time between tiny caravan life on a beautiful croft in the Highlands of Scotland and our renovation project — a fermette in the Corrèze region of France.

Espana, 2023.

As a 👉writer👈 I enjoy weaving these experiences into articles, short stories and poetry and as a 👉yoga teacher👈 I love to share the practices that bring a sense of deeper calm and meaning into my own life, with others.

Why subscribe?

I love the slower space of Substack… it’s kind of like the blogging community of days gone by, which feels more suited to my personality. So here is where I choose to dedicate my energy in creating heartfelt offerings and cultivating deeper connections. I would love for you to join me so that together we can nurture a beautiful space and walk alongside each other — more mindfully and slowly — sharing this life’s journey.

If you subscribe as a FREE subscriber…

You will receive directly into your inbox one podcast episode at the beginning of each month. Filled with nature-inspired and reflective words on life, death, and everything in between, this monthly podcast will encourage you to slow down and breathe.

For £5 (or any currency) each month “Slow Members” also receive access to:

Twice-monthly pre-recorded mindfulness practices
These might be a guided meditation, a ‘Walk & Talk’ with me, perhaps a gentle yoga class or breathwork & mantra practice, maybe a sound healing experience or a book discussion.

Nature-inspired journalling prompts throughout each season
Into the above mindfulness practices I will weave poetry and nature inspirations, along with heart-opening journalling prompts, to help you slow down, notice, and explore your deepest thoughts.

Community Connection
Enjoy occasional LIVE community gatherings where we talk about our life journeys over a warm drink, or enjoy a practice together. There is also a monthly chat space where we all get to connect and share.

Thank you gift!
As a paid monthly member you will receive 20% off any pre-recorded and live (online) four-lesson yoga/meditation class packages I put together, and the same discount for any of my journalling courses. 

🙏🏻 My hope is that I can be a gentle reminder in your ear each month to slow down... breathe deeply... make time for yourself and in return, your presence in this community reminds me of these very same things and inspires my offerings.🙏🏻

🙏🏻 Please know that your monthly contribution genuinely enables me to keep spending time creating—it literally puts lentils in my pot! If you are able to offer this support, then I thank you from the bottom of my heart! 🙏🏻

Whether you are a free or paid subscriber, thank you for your valued connection and please know I am so grateful for your interest in my offerings and hope they help you in some small way. I look forward to getting to know you on a deeper level and always welcome comment conversations!

With love,

Alice
💚🙏🏻🌱
