In Search Of The Sea: Simple Living On A Small Sailboat
Here is an wonderful example of a Simple Living Project that is just trying to get off the ground. Adam has been living a simple life for the past few years on his small, 400 sq/ft floating home he calls his "paradise". In that time he has discovered that the less he has to "deal with" in his day to day life the happier his time becomes.
In Search Of The Sea is Adam's way of reaching out and letting people know about the joys of choosing a simple lifestyle. He makes a point to distinguish "simple" living from "frugal" living. Simple living, to him, means more about how you spend your money ... not how much money you make or have. Adam's take on Simple Living is that the more daily experiences you have which bring you a sense of personal achievement on a spiritual and more holistic level, the happier your life will become.
His project is aimed at showing how little money one has to spend on the "necessities" and still live a high quality, normal, life and be, in every-other-way, a
functioning part of society. Not only does this way of life benefit the person directly, but living a simple life also has the byproduct of being much more green and sustainable than the current status quo.
Right now Adam is raising funds for his project so that he can move aboard and begin documenting through his blog (www.insearchofthesea.com). Eventually he plans on having routine video episodes which highlight aspects of the simple living lifestyle over the next 2 years. He'll also be conducting interviews with knowledgeable people in sustainable living and holding regular focus groups and meetings to discuss how people can adopt more of the simple living philosophy into their own lives. Adam is even offering "Simple Living Experiences" as part of the project! Especially for those that help him get the project rolling (learn more here).
So hop on over and help support In Search Of The Sea!
