The Sacred Path of Simplicity

In this distillation of his life’s work, Mark Burch defines voluntary simplicity as “the deliberate organization of life for a purpose.” This book is for anyone who wishes to explore a spiritual grounding for simple living, and for anyone who wants to tread more lightly on the earth.

Mark Burch has practiced voluntary simple living since the 1950s and is the author of Simplicity: Notes, Stories and Exercises for Developing Unimaginable Wealth (1995) and Stepping Lightly (2000). Burch is the former director of campus sustainability at University of Winnipeg and co-director of the Simplicity Practice and Resource Centre. He taught at University of Winnipeg and at the Canadian School of Peacebuilding and has facilitated countless workshops on voluntary simplicity and meditation.
