A slow living philosophy

A life that moves at the pace of your soul

The world rewards speed, hustle and constant achievement. But meaning is found in the spaces between. We work with four “rooms” of a life: body, mind, hands and spirit.

  • Body – Health, rest, nourishment, and rhythms that honour your energy instead of draining it.
  • Mind – Unlearning the story that you are only as valuable as your productivity; redefining success in your own language.
  • Hands – Reconnecting with practical, gentle skills: beekeeping, gardening, preserving, making, crafting – work that grounds you.
  • Spirit – Building space for reflection, prayer or meditation, quiet joy, and a sense of meaning that doesn’t depend on job titles.

You don’t need a new job title. You need a rhythm that tells the truth about who you are now.

My Next Chapter: Beekeeping

Beekeeping is one of the purest slow-living practices on earth: calm, intentional, rooted in land and season – and capable of generating gentle income.

Whether you are in Maseru or Madrid, Lagos or London, the principles of beekeeping are the same: observe, listen, care, create, harvest. This program is for people leaving or reshaping formal work who want a real, practical skill for their next chapter.

  • Understand what beekeeping realistically looks like in your context – time, space, investment, safety and climate.
  • Learn the foundations: hive types, equipment, siting, working with bees respectfully, and basic management.
  • Explore ways honey and hive products can support income without becoming another exhausting full-time job.
  • Think through how beekeeping could sit alongside your other responsibilities and dreams in this season of life.

Ways to begin

Skills for your next chapter

Beyond beekeeping, Ntlafatso Consultants is slowly curating and developing skills and practices that help people across cultures live gentler, more grounded lives.

  • Food preservation and simple homestead skills
  • Kitchen gardens and micro-farming
  • Herbal teas and basic herbalism
  • Crafts, making and creative work with your hands
  • Journaling and reflective writing
  • Contemplative photography and nature walks
  • Daily routines that support rest and recovery

These are not hustles. They are skills that bring dignity, joy, and sometimes income – without sacrificing your health or peace.

Services for individuals & organisations

Whether you’re transitioning out of corporate life, easing into retirement, or simply longing for a slower, more intentional way of living – we can walk part of the road with you. We also support organisations that want to care well for people in transition.

  • One-on-one “Next Chapter” advisory sessions – a gentle conversation about where you are, what you long for, and realistic options forward.
  • Rhythm & lifestyle redesign – mapping a daily and weekly rhythm that honours your body, responsibilities and dreams.
  • Slow-living workshops (online) – gatherings exploring identity, pace, skills and purpose.
  • Skills-based guidance – especially around beekeeping, small-scale production, and food preservation.
  • Journaling & inner work tools – prompts, reflection frameworks and practices to help you listen to your life.
  • Group sessions for organisations – pre-retirement and wellness-focused conversations for staff and teams who are navigating transition and seeking healthier, more sustainable ways of living and working.

Sessions and workshops are offered online (and in person in Lesotho, where possible). To explore what might be right for you or your organisation, simply start with an email or WhatsApp message.
