Over the past few years, Granite & Light - via The Journal of Lost Time - has been serving the same community as ours with passion, creating impactful events and transformative stories, with a unique mission to help people seeking to do more with less. 

We genuinely believe that in working together, we’ll expand our ability to serve our community better. The same rigorous curation and strong values we’ve had since founding Simpler Ways back in 2020, paired with The Journal of Lost Time’s remarkable role in the nomadic community creating interactive and collaborative spaces for locals, nomads, and brands with shared values, will allow us to create a deeper and more meaningful connection between all three. 

As a testament to our intentions and the path ahead, the Journal of Lost Time  just announced The Caravan: a temporary village for our overlanding, vanlife, and nomad community in Naturita, Colorado this June 6th - 10th. For the first time ever, Simpler Ways will be curating a makers market by and for nomads, Way Faire, where brands and makers will be able to present their goods to attendees.
