Please join us for a live online talk by Satish Kumar on Sunday, 8 September, 7 PM – 8:30 PM BST.
Satish will be offering a talk: “Being Peace – Peace within, Peace with people, Peace with nature” in support of our fundraising campaign to establish the Being Peace Practice Centre in the UK.
Based on the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh and the Plum Village community of Engaged Buddhism that he established, the Being Peace Practice Centre will welcome over 2,000 guests annually. They will learn practical ways of weaving mindful awareness into all aspects of life – sitting, walking, playing, studying, sharing and working – all within a deep ethical commitment to nurturing a healthy and compassionate society.
We hope you will join us for what we are sure will be an inspiring evening with one of the most important environmental activists of our time.
Satish Kumar
Once a Jain monk in India, Satish left the monastery while still a young man, and set off on a walk, from continent to continent, taking a message of peace, along with gifts of Indian tea, to world leaders.
Satish went on to become editor of Resurgence magazine, President of the Schumacher Society dedicated to promoting the ideas of Fritz Schumacher, and eventually to found Schumacher College. Satish travels the world, speaking about the relationship between ecology and spirituality.
