Slow Down.

Embrace Friction.

Reconnect With Nature.

Reclaim Your Peace and Balance in the Modern World.

Hey there - my name is Pete. I’m a teacher, writer, and content creator based in beautiful Upstate New York.

I believe our fast-paced, tech obsessed culture of convenience has gotten too far away from nature. Which is why I’m dedicated to teaching those who are burnt-out from the system how to reclaim their peace and balance.

My work focuses on slow, natural living. This includes why we should slow down and reconnect with nature, how to do it in the modern world, and finding who we can take inspiration and learn from.

As a teacher, I have a unique ability to share stories in a way that’s engaging, educational, accessible, and inspiring. Whether it’s through words, photos, or videos, my goal is to help others live a slower, natural lifestyle through the stories I tell.

Whether you’re here see my stories, or you’d like me to tell yours, I’m happy you stopped by!
