Meet Robin Greenfield, the Man Who Owns Nothing

Robin Greenfield is coming to San Luis Obispo on his California Community Speaking Tour!

Join Robin and friends May 8th at The Bunker Slo in San Luis Obispo at 6:30pm.

In the summer of 2024 Robin set out on a Walk of Gratitude from Canada to Los Angeles. After 6 months of walking, upon arrival in Griffith Park he gave away every possession he owned (and every dollar) entering into an immersive experiment in non-ownership.

This experiment is part of Robin’s lifelong practice of voluntary simplicity – a joyful and active means of resistance to the status quo of consumerism and the vast web of inequity, injustice and destruction that our “normal” lives are woven into. At the core of Robin’s belief is that it is humanity’s illusion that we are separate that is the source of our greatest suffering and our potential demise. Rather than the happiness that we are promised, we are experiencing separation amongst us, loneliness, depression and despair.

His immersive campaigns are designed to provoke critical thought – to question the unquestioned structures and norms of our society – and stimulate conversation around solutions for a new way forward.

Robin will share remedies to the challenging times we live in: fostering a deep connection with Earth, interconnected relationships with our plant and animal relatives and true community with our fellow humanity, all while finding completeness and peace within.

Join us for a community gathering to hear about Robin’s journey, to critically question our societal norms, to build community, and to reconnect with Earth, humanity and the plants and animals we share this home with.

Together we can be the change we wish to see in the world, starting in our own community.
