SLOW YOUR ROLL. 🦥 Lighten your load. Chill out, take a breath and savor your free time this summer.

The June issue is here and encourages you to slow it way down this summer in Madison. Katie Vaughn offers a round-up of ways to do it:

🍃 Soak in the calming energy of the forest with Shinrin-yoku Madison
🧘‍♂️ Take a restorative yoga class at Perennial Yoga
🧠 Tune your aware mind with Healthy Minds Innovations
🦦 Float your cares away on the Sugar River with S&B Tubing
🖼️ Get into art and out of your head at Chazen Museum of Art
🧖 Use ayurveda to heal at Kosa
& so many more practically effortless ways to slow down, be present and feel good

Also in this issue, Andrea Behling and Emma Waldinger invite you to join the dinner party in Madison. 🕯️ All across town — on farms, in tricked-out residential kitchens, at a local spice shop, in converted barns and elsewhere — Madisonians are hosting dinner parties in fun and unexpected ways. In a format that feels like an evolved version of what restaurants have long strived for, the dinner party produces an experience that brings hospitality to another level, and brings the community together in a way that’s both ancient and brand new.

🥂: Don't Cook for Cowboys, The Deliciouser, Etherfarm, The Gin Pennant, Mosaic Dinner Movement, Enos Farms, James Juedes, Jon Nodler and Samantha Kincaid

Plus, Anna Kottakis meets tattoo artist Nipinet Landsem, author Christi Clancy recounts feeling “summered out” and Hannah Wente takes notes on Barrett's Bagels' bagel-making process.
