Simplicity for a Richer Life Workshop
Tanie Miller Kabala, Ph.D.

“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately,
To front only the essential facts of life,
And see if I could not learn what it had to teach,
And not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.”
-Thoreau

Are you tired of rushing through life? Do you long for a simpler and more meaningful existence for you and your family? This 10-week group was created for individuals who would like to learn to simplify their lives in order to live more richly. The group will (a) introduce participants to the concept of voluntary simplicity and (b) help them reduce consumption and clutter, discover their passions and personal gifts, build community, and slow down/live more mindfully.
