Evy McDonald: "Your Money or Your Life: A Tool for Conscious Consumption in God's World." Evy talks about what is enough, how we know when we have enough, and how we can meet our true needs without compromising the ability of others, now and in the future, to meet their needs.
Cecile Andrews: "Study Circles & Community Building." Cecile is one of the region's leading voices on how to lead a more meaningful, focused life within the context of community support. For years she has led workshops on and facilitated the growth of Voluntary Simplicity Study Circles. Study circles, which originated in Sweden, do not focus on a "topic," but on "transforming one's life." Cecile speaks about how to live more simply through the nurturing communities that study circles engender.
Michael Schut: "Simplicity as Compassion: An Introduction to Earth Ministry's Simple Living Curriculum". Michael introduces Earth Ministry's new Simple Living Curriculum. It focuses on simplicity as a spirituality of compassion in the modern context of overconsumption, economic inequity, and God's call in our lives.
