Description:

In this course, we will explore the following questions from a variety of perspectives: .What is minimalism? How/why did it develop? .Who are minimalists? Why do they seem to make choices that are counter to our consumerist society/culture? We'll be hearing from guest speakers and taking field trips to explore possible ways to live minimally. .Why do people make minimalist choices? What is the impact on their lives and on society? .How can we begin to live more minimally? And, most importantly, why might we want to? Throughout the class we'll be actively engaged as we ask ourselves overarching questions about what adds meaning and value to our lives. We'll explore ways to consciously choose living reflections of these values.
