Satish Kumar will be sharing his wisdom on how the power of love can help to promote personal, political and planetary wellbeing.
Peace-pilgrim, life-long activist and former monk, Satish Kumar has been inspiring global change for over 50 years. Aged 9, Satish renounced the world and joined the wandering Jain monks. Inspired by Gandhi, he decided at 18 that he could achieve more back in the world. He soon undertook a pilgrimage for nuclear disarmament, walking for two years without money from India to America. Now in his 80s, Satish has devoted his life to campaigning for ecological regeneration, social justice, and spiritual fulfillment.
Satish has been interviewed by Russell Brand, Richard Dawkins, Annie Lennox and many more, appearing regularly on tv, podcasts and radio shows such as Radio 4's Desert Island Discs, Thought for the Day and Midweek. Satish presented a 50-minute documentary as part of BBC2's Natural World series, which was watched by over 3.6 million people. Satish is the author of countless articles and books. His autobiography, 'No Destination' sold over 50,000 copies, inspiring change around the world. Through his writing, teaching and international talks, Satish passionately shares visions of a just future for all.
An acclaimed author and international speaker, Satish founded The Resurgence Trust, an educational charity for environmental and social justice. You can find out more about Satish’s work at The Resurgence Trust and join him in protecting people and planet here.
