Hello, my name is Justine and I facilitate a weekly class exploring the art of Decluttering.
Each week we focus on a theme or topic of the decluttering process. My approach is to combine this with mindfulness practices, group discussion, group processes and inner reflection. It is a safe space to learn, share, listen and ask questions. Often people feel a sense of relief to hear others who share similar challenges with clutter and are wanting to create a more joyful life. The energy of joy and ritual is a big part of the experience and the journey.
The classes are designed so that new people or returning members can easily join right in at any stage.
The task of decluttering can be FUN, energizing and LIFE-CHANGING. I hope you feel inspired to join us for a class.
Sincerely, Justine

The Story of Stuff
The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns. Join Annie Leonard as she reveals connections between many environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world.
The Economics of Happiness
The Economics of Happiness describes a world moving simultaneously in two opposing directions. On the one hand, government and big business continue to promote globalization and the consolidation of corporate power. At the same time, people around the world are resisting those policies – and, far from the old institutions of power, they’re starting to forge a very different future. Communities are coming together to re-build more human-scale, ecological economies based on a new paradigm – an economics of localization.
