Voluntary Simplicity

You don’t have to cobble your own shoes or live in a Hobbit hole to live simply (though those who do are welcome!). Join this pod to discuss how you’re implementing voluntary simplicity in your own life: from scaling down your possessions to shrinking your ecological footprint to gaining financial independence.

Help us write the book on voluntary simplicity.

Hi all,

My name is Rob and I am running a non-profit voluntary simplicity project to write a book collaboratively online about simple living.

It's an embryonic project, and I have been maninly concerned in getting the wiki functionality set up so that everyone can collaborate online.

We need your help. We'd like volunteers to become co-authors in the project and share their experiences of voluntary simplicity in order to help others.

People might contribute just a page, or they might help in more ways.

The site is more than just a book though. It is intended as a way of demonstrating how we can work collaboratively to create something of value - and as such acts as a metaphor for collaboration in solving bigger problems in our world such as hunger, global warming and poverty.

All proceeds will go to those who are less fortunate than ourselves - and the organisations benefiting from the final publication of the book will be chosen by the community of writers.

We hope you'll join us and share your experience.

Many thanks,
Rob

Hi! Well, I just signed up. Hopefully I can become a fruitful contributor, and not just wasteful baggage. Sounds like a lot of fun!

Namaste
