WE HAVE 60,000+ THOUGHTS A DAY.
Most of them are HEAVY. Â
Before you get hard on yourself, I want you to know that this inherent negativity bias is part of our biology.
It's what kept us alive all those years ago on the savannah. If we hadn't been on the lookout for danger, maybe we wouldn't be here today.
This is why we're drawn to overcomplication, drama, and chaos...
MIND CLUTTERÂ is the language of our primitive brain.Â
THE GOOD NEWS:
We can RISE above our natural tendency to go negative by intentionally embracing a new way of thinking...
one rooted in LIGHTNESS
And this is how we take our power back and create the lives we WANT to live.
That's what this movement is all about...
the intentional decision to GO LIGHTER.
Our Values:
SIMPLICITY - HARMONY - ADVENTURE
Our Mission:
We believe that life is meant to be lighter, freer, and more intentional. At School of Living Lighter, our mission is to help individuals release the clutter—both physical and mental—that holds them back from living their fullest potential. By embracing simplicity, we create space for clarity, creativity, and meaningful connections. We guide our community to cultivate harmony in their homes and lives, empowering them to live with purpose and joy. Through mindful practices and sustainable strategies, we inspire people to let go of the excess and make room for adventure, so they can embrace each day with possibility.
Success would…
Catalyze a global shift toward choosing a lighter, more intentional way of living—moving away from the weight of excess and clutter, both physical and mental. By embracing simplicity, people would let go of the things that hold them back, creating space for clarity, creativity, and meaningful connections. This lighter approach would foster stronger mental health, healthier relationships, and a culture of sustainability, where individuals make mindful choices that support long-term well-being. Ultimately, people would live with more freedom, purpose, and joy, while reducing their environmental impact and creating communities that thrive on harmony rather than accumulation.
Our Dream:
More Mindful, Intentional Living - Reduced Environmental Impact - Increased Mental Clarity & Well-Being - Greater Creativity - Sustainable Simplicity - A Global Culture of Freedom & Possibility
