Embracing Simplicity: A Path to Abundance | September’s “We Conspire” Series

We Conspire is a series from the Center for Action and Contemplation featuring wisdom and stories from the growing Christian contemplative movement. Sign up for the monthly email series and receive a free invitation to practice each month.  

In our September “We Conspire” series, we explore the radical freedom that emerges when simplicity becomes a form of sacred clarity. Through stories of nonviolence, enoughness, and surrender, we’re invited to let go — and live into what matters most.

What if living simply begins with believing we are already enough? Spiritual Director Douglas Tsoi invites us to embrace the grace of enougnness within a culture of accumulation.

The Freedom of Letting Go
Reflect on how the life of St. Francis calls us to discover the liberating power of simplicity in our September “We Conspire” series. 

What if letting go of upward striving is a countercultural invitation to create space for God?
