“Live simply so that others may simply live” – attributed to Gandhi

To ensure the wellbeing of people and planet, in the present and in the future, it is crucial that those with more learn to live with less. Gandhi said that the world has enough for everyone's need, but not for everyone’s greed. So how can we begin to live lightly on the Earth?

Join Resurgence for a trilogy of events that will unpack how we can simplify our lives for our own health and happiness, that of others and the natural world around us. Explore how you can make a difference, with ideas and practical advice from inspiring speakers:

Julia Hobsbawm is an acclaimed entrepreneur and author who put the concept of social health – connected behaviour as a form of wellbeing and productivity – on the map. She has addressed global audiences on the subject, from major corporations in the UK, US, Europe and Asia, to institutions from the OECD, to talking directly to the World Health Organization about changing its definition of health to accommodate social health. She is a columnist for strategy+business magazine, editor-at-large for Arianna Huffington's wellbeing portal Thrive Global, and a contributor to The British Academy's Future of the Corporation programme. Julia is the author of ‘The Simplicity Principle’.

He edited Resurgence magazine for 43 years and is currently editor emeritus at Resurgence & Ecologist. He is the author of many books, including ‘Elegant Simplicity’. You can find his books here.

Rob Greenfield is an activist and humanitarian dedicated to leading the way to a more regenerative and just world. He embarks on extreme projects to bring attention to important global issues and inspire positive change.
