  • Geir Berthelsen is a Norwegian Motivational Speaker and the founder of The World Institute of Slowness Berthelsen is active in promoting the methodology of a slower, more enriched lifestyle based on the Slow Movement. Berthelsen and his creation of The World Institute of Slowness coined the term 'Slow Travel' in 1999 citing a vision for an entire 'Slow Planet' and a need to teach the world the way of Slow. Professor Guttorm Fløistad summarizes the entire philosophy, stating: "The only certain thing is that everything changes. The rate of change increases. If you want to hang on you better speed up. " "That is the message of today. It could however be useful to remind everyone that our basic needs never change. The need to be seen and appreciated! It is the need to belong. The need for closeness and care, and for a little love! This is given only through slowness in human relations. In order to master changes, we have to recover slowness, reflection and togetherness. There we will find real renewal. " ~Guttorm Fløistad
