An evening with Satish Kumar

Join us for an evening with globally respected peace-pilgrim, life-long activist and former monk, Satish Kumar. 

Best known for his 8,000-mile walk for peace, Satish Kumar has been inspiring global change for nearly 70 years. A world-renowned author and international speaker, Satish founded The Resurgence Trust, an educational charity that seeks to inform and inspire a just future for all. He was the Editor of the charity's change-making magazine, Resurgence & Ecologist, for over 40 years, making him the UK's longest-serving editor of the same magazine. He continues to serve this publication as Editor Emeritus and by writing for this much-loved and acclaimed magazine which has been described by The Guardian as the 'spiritual and ecological flagship of the environmental movement'.

Satish has been the guiding spirit behind several other internationally respected ecological and educational ventures. He co-founded Schumacher College which he continues to serve as a Visiting Fellow. Satish appears regularly on podcasts and on radio and television shows. He has been interviewed by Richard Dawkins, Annie Lennox and many more. He appeared as a guest on Radio 4's Desert Island Discs, Thought for the Day, and Midweek. 

This event will be in two parts. The first part includes a screening of Radical Love, an intimate documentary that reveals Satish’s journey and testimony to sow deeper and more purposeful ways of being on Earth. After an interval, this is followed by Satish Kumar and Rupert Read, Philosopher & Convener of The Climate Majority in conversation, followed by a Q&A where you can ask Satish questions.

Join us in welcoming him to Leiston on Saturday 10 October.
