Poverty and Detachment

Adrianna and Sofia explore the ideas of poverty and detachment. Our points for discussion include: What is poverty of spirit and why should we desire it? How is it related to material poverty? How are we personally trying to grow in freedom through detachment? //

Our weekly challenge is to engage in some form of fasting. And our media recommendations are the book The Long Loneliness and the film Life Is Beautiful. //
