You Want to Live More Consciously — But Real Life Gets in the Way

Most people care about their health and their impact on the world. ​But between work, family, information overload and everyday stress, it is hard to know where to start or what actually makes a difference.

 

GoSimple helps you cut through the noise. No guilt. No perfection. No complicated rules. Just clear, practical steps towards more nature-positive living that support your wellbeing and your family’s.

What is GoSimple?

GoSimple is a guided experience by GreenUp designed to help you turn good intentions into everyday action.

Through four interactive workshops, weekly fun challenges, local experiences and community support, you will learn realistic ways to create positive change in daily life, step by step. ​It is about small, intentional choices that support a healthier life for you and your family, and are good for nature (and your wallet) too.​

 

The program was developed together with experts and researchers from the University of Basel and has already helped hundreds of people build lasting habits since 2022.

Whether you join alone, as a couple, or with your family, you are welcome. Our workshops are held on Saturdays, with childcare included for participants with children.

From our Participants

Every single person can contribute, and together we can pave the way toward a more conscious and future-oriented lifestyle — step by step!

I was able to apply many of the things I learned immediately in my everyday life. The program really opened my eyes to habits and decisions through which I can actually make a difference.

The workshops were highly interactive, engaging, and filled with meaningful discussions!
