Global Ecovillage Network/Solution Library/Enoughness
Accepting what is sufficient and adequate and what truly matters.
Enoughness doesn't mean voluntary poverty - it means discovering who you really are.
Description
[edit | edit source]Writing for the Context Institute, Vicky Robin developed a pledge to guide people in finding peace with what they have and what they truly need.
I pledge to discover how much is enough for me to be truly fulfilled, and to consume only that. I also pledge to be part of the discovery of how much would be enough for everyone not only to survive but to thrive, and to find ways for them to have access to that. Through this commitment to restraint and justice, I am healing my life and am part of the healing of the world.
This theme has been further developed and encapsulated in the term 'Enoughness' and is eloquently described by Christina Mlttermeir in her talk on indigenious peoples linked below.
