FLOW is a magazine about reconnecting with Nature. It believes that Nature isn’t only found in the wild outdoors, but is actually all around us, wherever energy is flowing. It is a magazine that seeks to uncover the different ways we can flow and become one with Nature — because we were part of Nature all along.
Issue 01: Breath of Nature
There is life in the air. A light breeze is all it takes to make our skin tingle. How does the wind make us feel alive? How does it feel when our hair catches the wind? What does breathing in fresh air do for us? From sitting by the window to going outdoors, the wind wraps and pushes against our bodies in many different ways. What happens when our minds and bodies glide like the wind? In our first issue, we look at how the wind affects our everyday lives from within our bodies, around our living spaces and outside of our homes.
