20th – 22nd September.
I will be taking part in a workshop and panel discussion alongside my fellow Alexie Sommers from the URGE collective, Jeremy Whelehan, Wisdom Keepers and Nadeem Parera, Flock Together on Saturday 21st, 11 am - 12.30
Hopeful Activism and Long-term Thinking
Alexie and I will host the discussion and collective workshop to develop our ability to move beyond the immediate and enable future generations to benefit from deeper, long-term thinking.
We’ll be taking inspiration from Ella Saltmarsh and The Long Time Project and grounding the group in meditation to start the session.
I’ve been contemplating what Hopeful Activism means and reading and listening to many great thinkers and writers, which I look forward to sharing on the 21st.
‘Hope locates itself in the premises that we don’t know what will happen and that in the spaciousness of uncertainty is room to act.’
