History-Background
Simply Living was established in 1992. The founding members believed that social change and environmental responsibility depend upon us and our lifestyles. Recognizing creation’s sacredness and participation in its life-sustaining renewal, we reach out to all who are searching for their individual way to become the change we seek for the world. We are dedicated to learning how to live responsibly and to sharing our journey. With more than 700 members, Simply Living’s purpose is to educate ourselves and others to live responsibly and sustainably in joyful relation with the earth and with each other, rooted in principles of environmental, social and economic justice. Together we are building a more sustainable culture.
Simply Living Network
Simply Living is organized via networks. Instead of a top-down hierarchy, we connect with and through each other. Read about this important model of social innovation in Margaret Wheatley's writings including this short article:
