A core program of Simply Living for fourteen years has been our Earth Institute discussion groups. Why? Because participants are inspired and motivated to take action, improving their quality of life and furthering systemic change.
Do you want to simplify your life? Do you want to understand more how your food choices affect our environment and our health? Are you eager to resist the consumer culture? Take an Earth Institute course and turn your ideas into actions!
For those new to Northwest Earth Institute (NWEI) courses, they provide an enjoyable, supportive opportunity for 8-12 participants to examine personal values and habits, engage in stimulating conversation, create meaningful community, and take action towards creating a more sustainable future. Participants self-facilitate each course with the help of a mentor and a coursebook of readings. Each course emphasizes individual responsibility, the importance of a supportive community, and the inspiration to walk lightly and take action on behalf of the Earth.
Join us in making these courses available in Central Ohio: Please Contact Us for more information.
