The Global Sufficiency Network is the connecting point for the
emerging sufficiency movement.
Global Sufficiency Network is an international network of citizens,
thought leaders, organizations and businesses that advocate for a world
based in sufficiency. “Sufficiency” is a state of mind of enough where
we experience an appreciation of all that we have and all that we are.
In sufficiency, we are naturally called to serve the greater good and
experience ourselves as generous, courageous, grateful, and fulfilled.
The basis for our program delivery is:
a website providing access to a robust network of resources,
tools, services and connections; a framework for community learning of convening members,
practitioners, and thought leaders online and in person; and focused collaborations with thought leaders, groups and
organizations aligned with the GSN mission.
The vision of Global Sufficiency Network is a world transformed and
restored by the promise of sufficiency where everyone experiences
themselves, their resources and each other as enough.
Our primary focus is to fuel a global conversation for sufficiency -
catalyzing action to address scarcity as a fundamental root cause of the
environmental crises, the social justice crisis, the spiritual crisis
and the economic crisis.
Join in, take a stand, be part of the movement to change the world.

NEXT GSN Monthly Sufficiency Call
Topic: Transformational Activism: the Power of Sufficiency
By: Marilyn Levin
This call will explore how we can inadvertently come from a context of scarcity in our efforts to make a difference in the world. Looking into this can provide deep insights into the ways in which we inhibit our own effectiveness and sabotage our personal fulfillment. We will also explore what it looks like to take on our efforts from a context of sufficiency, which can enhance our ability to inspire others into their greatness, handle immense challenges with grace and sustain our sense of possibility.
Marilyn Levin, MSW is a professional speaker and trainer, an author and an award winning activist. She directs her passion and talent in service of personal and global transformation so that we can create a world that works for everyone and pass it along to future generations

unfolds.

The Global Sufficiency Network exists to fuel a global viral conversation for sufficiency - catalyzing action to address scarcity as a fundamental root cause of the environmental crises, the social justice crisis, the spiritual crisis and the economic crisis.
Message From Lynne Twist:
"The Global Sufficiency Network is
vitally important for today's world. I'm honored that it was inspired by
The Soul of Money . But moreover, it's inspired by other people
who want to live in a place of "enough" or sufficiency, not just have it
as a theory but to live it, to be it, and to proliferate the
conversation in a way that sufficiency shows up for people every day,
all the time, as a way of life.
When we live it, there are no
complaints, only gratitude. When we live it, everything begins to
prosper around us. When we live it, the actual meaning of "wealth" --
the true etymological meaning "well of being" -- becomes available to
everyone everywhere, all the time. And there couldn't be a greater
contribution to our precious planet than that."
