 To live more simply involves working less, wanting less, and spending less.

But voluntary simplicity is not about doing without. In fact it's just the opposite, it's about having enough. Enough intimacy with others and with nature, enough sense of purpose and fulfilling work, enough fun and joy.

Voluntary simplicity is about living life fully, of experiencing life as a whole human being.
It's also about caring for the earth and people throughout the world who truly do not have
enough.

This site and its forum is dedicated to those people who are looking for a slower pace
of life, to those in search of a life, not a lifestyle. 

A homemade life can be hard to develop in our fast paced, growth driven society and choosing a slower path can be difficult, but one that can deliver so much joy and satisfaction.

We believe that the homemade life is one that tries to avoid mass production, and attempts to reduce the amount of  toxic products that have become part of our daily lives and routines. 


It is about taking time to do those things that were second nature to our grandparents generation.  Baking bread, growing veg, making do and mending.  Taking the raw materials that nature provides and producing something beautiful, practical and unique.
