holiners

Holiners is a term that emerged in the early 21st century to describe a group of individuals who prioritize living a minimalist lifestyle, often with a focus on sustainability and self-sufficiency. The term itself is derived from "holistic," reflecting a desire to live in a more connected and intentional way. Holiners typically seek to reduce their consumption of material goods, minimize their environmental impact, and often engage in practices such as urban gardening, DIY projects, and local sourcing of food and resources.

The movement is characterized by a rejection of consumerism and a conscious effort to simplify daily life. This can manifest in various ways, from choosing to live in smaller homes or tiny houses to adopting simpler modes of transportation and reducing reliance on technology. While there isn't a single, rigid dogma associated with being a Holiner, the underlying principles revolve around intentional living, ecological awareness, and a pursuit of well-being through simplicity. Many Holiners find community online and offline, sharing tips, resources, and inspiration for their chosen way of life. The movement is often seen as a response to perceived excesses of modern society and a desire for a more meaningful existence.
