In the city of Maribor, it is very pleasant for me to live, even from this point of view, because it contains many good sustainable practices that allow me to live my vision of life, which is more environmentally and people friendly. Sometimes, however, I also need a break from the city bustle and I'm happy to move to the countryside. This time, in the week between May 20 and May 24 2019, I attended the workshop "Life in a Degrowth Community", which was held first in Jarenina Valley and then in Maribor. At the workshop we experienced "Degrowth life" both in theory and in practice. In addition to many new information about the concept itself and some of the already established alternative practices, participants in the training also experienced a self-sustaining life on the farm. I had time to deepen study myself and analyze my daily activities (purchases, nutrition, activities, etc.) from the viewpoint of a more sustainable way of life.
