Six year old Given and his family set out on a quest to follow the legend of the Big Fish. For years his father told him the tale as it was passed down from all the fathers before him.
Given and his family leave their little island of palm trees to follow the Big Fish’s trail across the seas. They meet beekeepers and snake dancers, sleep on sandy beaches and play on ice rocks. Given watches and learns for he knows he too would one day have to search for his own Big Fish.
This is a story of a unique family legacy come full circle. A story of finding home wherever you may be. Inspired by the feature film documentary called Given, this is based on the true and wild journey of surfers Aamion and Daize Goodwin as they take their family to fulfill a calling handed down through generations to find freedom in surrender.

Meet the Illustrator: Filippa Edghill
Born and raised in the open landscape of Skåne, Sweden. Daughter of a Swedish mother and a Bajan father.
"Sweden gives me an appreciation for the shifting experiences of the North. Darkness and light forever changing back and forth. Barbados gives me a love for the ocean, close-ness to nature and a helluva lot of cousins. I am currently living and working in French seaside town Biarritz.”
“I try to bring a sense of wonder into my own life through my drawings. Illustration brings me to a place nestled between reality and dreams where I can let my imagination grow. In that place I feel meaningful, like the essence of being human is to be able to create."

My favorite Tshirt!! Please make more this style!

Easy and rad!

Keeps coffee nice and hot for a long time.
And looks cool!

忙しい毎日を送ってる現代人がこの場所を知ればまた癒されに来たいなー。と、思える場所!アイスクリームや日本にはないフレーバーのかき氷やカフェラテやアサイーボウル、それとゆっくりとした優雅な時間を気軽に過ごす事ができるこの場所が大好きです!
MAHALO!

I saw this little bag and had to have it! The writing on the outside was a perfect mindfulness thought and then knowing it was organically made was even better🌻

Love all their products

Ono Hologram Sticker

The recipes are easy to follow and easy to make. Wholesome ingredients.

We took a trip to Kauai last month and absolutely fell in love with the coffee house! I ordered this beautiful book for my daughter as a special gift ... she loves it! A handwritten card to her was also included by the Slow Yourself Down staff. I do want to give a special THANK YOU to Bridget!

Large Retro Sticker

I love the size. I’ve been making great salads on the go. Fits more ingredients. Looks colorful n appetizing! Also great for a larger smoothie!
I have given people the incentive to do the same!! :)

People are starting to notice my wearing this on repeat!
Love this tee, and the green one I received in a thoughtful chemo care package a while back.
Super soft, washes well, sized just right for my withering body.
Will make packing for our next Kauai trip so easy!

I collected the jars and lids while in Hanalei. The lids are amazing! They fit my giant mason jars that I use for soups as well as the amazing jars they came with. I use them for all my fresh juices, soups, chia seed puddings etc. when you open my fridge all you see is “Slow yourself down” and makes me remember the island! 🤙🏼

Love the colors & the fit…such a fun store & wonderful location.

I absolutely love this shirt! It’s long enough to cover my gut but cropped enough that I don’t need to cut off any excess material . It's also very soft and has a pleasing mellow color. I love the way it looks and feels on me!
