A Rough Outline

We shall meet to...

1. ...provide each other with practical advice and help for simple living.
2. ...provide encouragement for this lifestyle that goes against the flow.
3. ...explore this lifestyle in light of our faith.

Discussion topics to tackle:

1. buying new vs. used
2. research on how to make homemade products
3. research into local food sources, and into the agricultural and ethical practices that went into the production of that food
4. time - what is simplicity when it comes to our time
5. What is our responsibility as a consumer?
6. We need to find experts that are smarter than we are about what to do about complicated issues such as boycotting/vs consuming.
7. How much stuff is it appropriate to own? (based on budget or on what?)
8. Where do we find our life? What gives us life?
9. What does the season call for in terms of extravagance vs. simplicity? When is the time right for what?
10. Internship of world travel to find balance.
