📺 Block TV: 

This week we wanted to share MINIMALISM: a documentary which examines the simple lives of minimalists from all walks of life–families, entrepreneurs, architects, artists, journalists, scientists, and even a former Wall Street broker — all of whom are living meaningfully with less. Watch the documentary below - and let us know what you think on our group chat!

We hope to see you at the events we have lined up and are interested to hear your thoughts on our recommendations! See you next week!
