A Simple Living Mindset Workshop with Aur Beck, Born Off-Grid

A Simple Living Mindset Workshop with Aur Beck. Born Off-Grid. Raised in Simplicity. Sharing a More Peaceful Way to Live.

What if the good life is not about having more, doing more, buying more, or keeping up with everyone else?

Aur Beck, author of Living Off-Grid, REALLY, was born off-grid and has spent his life understanding simple living from the inside out. In this one-day workshop, Aur shares a different way of looking at life — one built around peace, enough, resilience, and less dependence on the noise and pressure of the modern world.

This workshop is not about moving to the woods, giving everything up, or learning complicated off-grid systems. It is for everyday people who feel overwhelmed, stretched thin, tired of rushing, or ready for a calmer and more intentional way to live.

Through stories, reflection, conversation, and a simple guided workbook, participants will explore what “enough” means, what creates stress and clutter in daily life, and how a simpler mindset can bring more peace, clarity, and freedom. The focus is not on doing life perfectly. It is about learning to slow down, think differently, and begin choosing what truly matters.

You do not have to live off-grid to benefit from this workshop. You only need to be open to the idea that peace may come from needing less, wanting less, and making more room for what matters most.

Attendees will leave with a refreshed mindset, a personal simple living statement, and small first steps they can carry into daily life.

Come spend one day stepping away from the noise and moving toward a simpler, calmer, more grounded way of living. A farm-to-table lunch will be provided (if you have any food allergies please email: BirdForkFarm@gmail.com in advance). More details soon! Aur Beck's books will be available for purchase and signing and the farm's apothecary will be open to shop.
