I thought it was very heartening to see everybody's response to the Steve Maxwell Clip ( ) over in the Monkey Gym forum, so I have decided to create a thread/topic along these lines.Basically offering a place of mutual support, encouragement and ideas for people who are wanting to break free from a 'normal' (but not desirable, or arguably natural) lifestyle - and to include more time with loved ones; more play, relaxation, restoration; more time to meditate; etc. Not that there is any one way to do this (i.e Steve's nomadism isn't for everyone).. you may even still 'work' a lot, but you love what you do so much that work and play lines are blurred. You may stay in one place, but change up the hours or work (or work from home). It may be multiple part-time or casual employment to facilitate more play. The freeing of time-energy to do what you actually want to do in your life seems to be the key thing. There seems to be a trend in the reduction of material possessions associated with this (having a few, high quality functional items; as opposed to a house full of clutter and 'things that were on sale'). Ok; let's go!
