Simple Living Institute at Orlando Disney's Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival 2013

Attended Saturday, May 18, 2013

Thank you Simple Living Fans! We loved talking with you, answering your questions and enjoyed your stories!

Many of you have already begun the "Simple Living" journey all over the world and many more we're very thankful for SLI providing information on how to take the next steps.

With more than 300 people, a few hours felt like mere minutes, it was a blast!
After answering questions and hearing what Simple Living Institute is all about, a lot of folks asked if SLI was in other states, even other countries because they wanted to attend workshops, classes and to just learn more. The excitement was really high.

 We all want to enjoy a more creative and just life. If we're all to enjoy Living Simply, more regeneratively, it will take more than a few individuals steps, it will take communities, towns, whole bio regions sharing and caring.
Join SLI, find out how you can truly be a part of designing our future.
