I just returned from a 4 day Ignatian silent retreat. if this is not something that you have done before, I highly recommend it to anybody. It was an amazing time of focusing on all the things that are most important and bring reminded that my worth doesn't come from how good my life looks, but on how loved by the King I am. I don't know how much this connects to a minimalist lifestyle, but it is important to who I am.
One of the most wonderful things about the retreat center, is the obvious care and thought that was put into the design and decoration of the facilities. Each piece of art, each theme for the lodge, even each pillow on the chairs, was thoughtfully designed and placed. No Hobby Lobby trite decorations here! The overall design was simple and yet I felt so pampered. The items were carefully chosen to create a certain atmosphere, just like we all hope to do in our homes. Nothing cluttered, nothing that doesn't truly reflect what's important to us and who we are.
