Being self sufficient means growing your own food. This is not just an important aspect, it is a basic survival aspect. Shirk in the Summer, starve in the Winter.

Yes you can appreciate your artistic side as you become one with nature, but it sounds like that is your main focus and all the hard work of growing your food is an "aspect." Usually the folks that overlook the amount of labor necessary for a successful and varied garden are folks that never tried to grow one. Just saying.

Simple. Turn it off and leave it off. I did that many years ago and don't miss it.

Self awareness and peace are a state of mind not a geographical or political location . . . If you feel you have too many distractions, you can simplify without founding a commune.
