I had to shake my head when I read other people's responses to your question. Out here I'm going with the natural flow of things. Boy what a difference in Albuquerque. It just goes to show you how different the expectations can be in different geographies. I'll have to be bad and arrive 5 minutes late one day - ha ha.
Good luck with your research!
I ran across your question about living with less stuff and can share my own experience with you on the topic.... Several years ago I sold my house and bought a motorhome. My intention was to simplify, to get closer to nature, to explore the country. I lived and worked from that motorhome for two years.
Living in a motorhome, you have to simplify because there is simply no room for stuff. Prior to this lifestyle choice, I was a "stuff-aholic" and I was worried that I would miss my stuff and would feel restricted because I couldn't get more stuff.
This was not the case. After the initial "OMG what did I do!" reaction, I found a new sense of freedom and a new ability to discern what was really important in my life. The only thing I ended up missing was not my shoes and my clothes and my trinkets, it was my library of books. (Really hard to fit a full library in a motorhome.)
I now live in a home again - actually a roommate situation - and have expanded my stuff a little bit, but I find that I am still quite discerning and have little desire to add things that are really not important.
In any case, I hope that gives you some insight!
I live in San Diego, but will be coming out to ABQ for several weeks in Sept. & Oct. I am facilitating two events in your area that you and your friends might be interested in... The first is an Ascension Mastery Workshop at Moondancer Bookstore in Corrales on September 27th and the second is a Vision Walk up near Sandia Crest on September 28th. If you're interested in knowing more about either of them or sharing them with your friends, I'd be happy to email you the details - just let me know!

I wish I had known about your workshop sooner...my fault for not being as active on this site as I should be! I'd really like to add you to my database as a contact person. The clients I work with sometimes need help with physical organization as well! Look forward to hearing from you...Tamara
