In today’s world, we are learning more about what can help us to create truly thriving lives and societies, and many people and projects are working towards more positive visions of the future. Yet alongside this, there are so many social, political and environmental challenges facing us that it can feel overwhelming. It can be hard not to become frustrated, demotivated and hopeless.

Through the evening we will ask:

  • How can we sustain our activism in the long term?
  • How can we maintain the strength to confront the problems of the world, and build new ways of doing things that are better for people and planet?
  • What role do practices and topics such as mindfulness, wellbeing and happiness have to do with activism and changing the world?
