School of Simple Living

Rebuild your life around simplicity, responsibility and spiritual direction.

For people who feel modern life has become too heavy and want a grounded path back to clarity, practical independence, family connection, nature, meaningful work, and higher purpose.

A life project, not another lifestyle idea

Simple Living is not a romantic escape from modern life. It is the responsible work of reducing what drains you, rebuilding practical capacity, and making room for the questions that matter most.

The School of Simple Living helps you turn that longing into a concrete path: clearer decisions, practical experiments, family rhythms, community, inner work, and next steps you can actually live.

You do not have to figure everything out through ten or twenty years of trial and error. You can learn from lived experience, timeless wisdom, project thinking, coaching practice, regenerative living, and a community of people walking in a similar direction.

Mission and founder context

Bharat / Ben
Bharat / Ben, founder of the School of Simple Living

The School of Simple Living is shaped by Bharat / Ben's own bridge between professional systems and a more grounded life: project management, servant leadership, coaching, facilitation, homeschooling, community building, land, family, and spiritual practice.

The school grew out of a real transition: from professional success and modern complexity toward family, land, community, self-responsibility, and a deeper question of purpose.

That mix matters because many people do not only need inspiration. They need a way to translate longing into decisions, structure, accountability, and experiments that can survive real family, money, work, and community pressures.

The mission is to help people become less dependent on what weakens them and more available for what strengthens life: responsibility, service, nature, meaningful work, family culture, conscious relationships, and a search for meaning beyond consumption.

From achievement to recalibration

Many people do not need more productivity. They need to ask whether the life they are producing is still aligned with truth.

The movement behind School of Simple Living is a recalibration: less dependency, less noise, less performance; more responsibility, more practical skill, more family presence, more community, and more space for self-realization.

Bharat / Ben can be understood as a simple living coach, regenerative life designer, homeschooling father, community builder, and bridge-builder between leadership, spirituality, and simple living.

Through School of Simple Living, that bridge becomes accessible as courses, community, summit conversations, mentoring, retreats, and practical frameworks.

The founder story behind the School of Simple Living

Bharat / Ben's TEDx talk gives the human story behind the work.

A small example of the school

When Bharat / Ben's son helps source local, manually harvested organic olive oil from Portugal, that is the School of Simple Living in miniature: useful knowledge, practical life skills, family, land, honest work, and a product connected to real life.

It creates a simple win-win inside the community: members can receive a high-quality, natural oil while a young person is encouraged and strengthened in early entrepreneurship.

The School of Simple Living wants to create many such moments: spaces for exchange, mutual support, and contribution where value is not always measured by the dominant monetary system, but by the real usefulness created with and for one another.

What School of Simple Living is

School of Simple Living is a school, a practical framework, a toolkit, and a bridge for people who want to live with more simplicity and higher thinking.

It brings together courses, community, mentoring, retreats, summit conversations, and concrete life projects for people who want to become less dependent on what weakens them and more rooted in what nourishes life.

In the future, this includes retreats, workshops, shared harvests, and places where like-minded people can gather, settle more consciously, and dedicate their lives to a higher purpose.

Creating alternatives to the material mainstream is not just a meaningful adventure. It is a silent revolution and the only way of creating a golden age for our children.

Who this is for

This school is for the exhausted professional who knows success has become too expensive, the family that wants to exit and build something more real, the spiritual seeker who is searching for meaning and direction, the practical homesteader who wants inner depth, and the mentor-in-training who wants to serve others with integrity.

The common thread is not a single lifestyle. It is the wish to recalibrate life with responsibility, courage, and spiritual orientation.

Basically anyone who is sick of the establishment, exploitation, and the control of resources and beings.

Anyone who believes that there is more meaning to life.

Anyone who is ready to roll up the sleeves to build an alternative lifestyle :)

What School of Simple Living is not

School of Simple Living is not escapism, and not a promise that moving to land will solve every inner problem. It is a grounded invitation to simplify externally, mature internally, and rebuild life around what is true.
