The annual Resurgence Festival of Wellbeing will soon be upon us, connecting us with visionaries from around the world who are creating change and inspiring hope. The theme is “Care for the Climate; Care for the Earth; Care for the People” and speakers will include Craig Bennett, Easkey Britton, Satish Kumar and Robin Wall Kimmerer .
Now is the time to book your ticket and tell your friends and community about this incredible day of ideas, wisdom and nourishment. It all takes place online, on Saturday, 5th October from 10:00 am-5:00 pm and costs just £25 (£15 for concessions).
Feedback from past events suggest that it will be a day to savour:
“An exceptional day of great generosity and wisdom”;
“So much to take in, to spread to others and to try and act upon as much as is possible myself.”
“I’m certainly filled with more optimism and renewed motivation.”
