Voluntary simplicity is a personal philosophy and social movement encompassing the issues of work, money, success, consumerism, community, media, clutter, time, and the environment. Ultimately, it is about living mindfully. We are so busy becoming more productive, working longer hours, and using up material resources the we rarely stop to reflect on the way we live in the twenty-first century. Is our lifestyle promoting significant meaning and fulfillment in our lives?
If you are interested in learning about voluntary simplicity, a good place to start is by reading The Circle of Simplicity by Cecile Andrews which is available through the metrolibrary system. We used this book during the seven week seminar. Cecile's new book, Slow Is Beautiful, is now available through the metrolibrary system as well.
