Hello Dear Friends and Tam Fam! I am grateful to have spent this quality time with you. I felt a very strong love in the room and it meant a lot to be there in person and to be sharing this message with each of you over the internet. I am here in service to you on this journey of reconnecting with Earth. Love, Robin

@Robin.Greenfield, I celebrate you for living life on your terms! I’m a minimalist as well (not an extreme one though), and I relate with a lot of what you shared in this video especially regarding consumerism that’s incessantly fed to us daily. You exude such genuineness and calmness and I’m here for it!! 🙌🏾 #Minimalism

He has a good heart about things. I am not sure many could give so much energy to this lifestyle like he does. So even if we judge, most of us cannot and will never have the will power and discipline to live this way. He has a conviction and found something to live for.

If all of us did one tenth of what he does the world would be a better place... I've learned alot from him..on how to be a minimalist....and although I have downsized extremely... I still have too much " stuff".. ( most) of it is stuff I need in the circumstance I'm in ATM, but, it's still too much... Most people would walk in my house and think I'm " poor" trust me... I think I'm unencumbered 🤣 Love Rob and what he does.

All the calamities/natural disasters, global warming, pollution, diseases we're experiencing right now were the result of our greed. I grew up in the countryside...and life was much simpler then. Now im married, have 2 kids and live in the city. I hope we will all be inspired by rob and start to live simply and in harmony with nature.

@kimberlytross9864 4 месяца назад

Maybe you can start by committing to buying nothing (except food) for a certain amount of months. Or if you need something, look 1st at thrift stores or neighbor swap sites. You can start adding environmental swaps to your routine, like bamboo TP instead of regular tree TP or take your own bags grocery shopping. If there's anyplace you can walk or bicycle to, try that instead of driving. If you've never been, try camping. Some places have cabins or yurts to rent - see what if anything you miss. ONE STEP AT A TIME.

@risemahadeva 3 месяца назад

Man walked mostly barefoot at one time. However, footwear was fabricated not to protect from bacteria, but to protect the feet from injuries like punctures or burns from hot sand or rocks. As you walk barefoot you develop calluses on your soles that provide protection too.
