The Practice of Developing a Voluntary Simplicity Ethic AESSC 3300-01 | 3 credits May 30, 2008-June 19, 2008 Faculty: Henry Colletto Tuition: $1,350, undergraduate Location: Maine Contact: Paige Manning at 617.349.8489 or pmanning@lesley.edu This course examines the concept of voluntary simplicity as a cultural movement and how the topic touches our personal lives. Our learning community practices a simple lifestyle through the daily activities of growing and cooking nutritious organic foods, creating homemade entertainment, reducing vehicle use, utilizing sustainable technologies, eating and sleeping out of doors, and developing a relationship with the land. Through writing, discussions, and work interactions, we deepen our understanding of and develop a Voluntary Simplicity Ethic. We explore our internal thoughts about ourselves as consumers and our relationship to the other-than-human world. We investigate the concept of Ecological Footprint and learn how to lower our foot print by making ecologically sustainable choices in our daily lives both during the course and in our lives beyond. Critical reflection of ourselves and society in relation to our environmental ethic will be used frequently to propel us into understanding how we can contribute to world change through our individual actions. 3 week Sustainable Practices Residency Program in rural Maine.
