Voluntary Simplicity is a growing grassroots movement spreading throughout America today. People are simplifying all aspects of their lives to find a way of life that is outwardly simple and inwardly rich. The tenets of Voluntary Simplicity are frugal consumption, ecological awareness and personal growth. As people transform themselves, they also change the values of society.



A Discussion Circle (or simplicity circle) is composed of a group of friends and neighbors who meet regularly in order to explore their life stories and share information and knowledge to help one another develop lives of simplicity and satisfaction. It is one of the most vibrant life-affirming movements affecting thousands of thoughtful people today.
