Everywhere you look, people in all walks of life are “going minimalist” and getting rid of their possessions. Yet as exciting as it can be to throw out half of your belongings, does it really bring happiness? As Light Watkins says: “If you’re unhappy now, becoming a minimalist isn’t likely to change that… unless you do the inner work to cultivate happiness on the inside.” 

Join Theosophist Benjamin W. Decker and Author/Meditation Teacher/Public Speaker Light Watkins to discuss: 

🌟 What is Spiritual Minimalism? 
🌟 The Importance of Following Your Curiosity to Find Your True Purpose
🌟 The Minimalist Approach to Exercising - Counting Reps using Affirmations, Not Numbers
🌟 Training Your Mind To See the Positive
🌟The Meditative Power of Flaneuring, an 18th century French term for aimless walking
🌟How to Hand Wash Your Clothes Like a Minimalist
