Date: 30/12/2022

【Speaker Introduction】
Raised as a Jain monk from the age of nine, Satish Kumar became a campaigner for land reform at eighteen, working to turn Gandhi's vision of a renewed India and peaceful world into reality. 

In 1991, Satish co-founded Schumacher College, in Devon, UK, an international residential education centre which aims to provide transformative learning for sustainable living. He writes, teaches and leads workshops internationally on holistic economics, reverential ecology, holistic education and voluntary simplicity. His books include 'Soil Soul Society', 'No Destination', 'Earth Pilgrim’, 'You Are Therefore I Am’ and the recently launched ‘Elegant Simplicity’.

【Talk Introduction】
In this talk, Satish  celebrates the beauty of the Living Earth and highlights      the human responsibility to care for her. For a long time in the past and even now many scientists look at the Earth and see it as a dead rock. But there are a number of      scientists and ecologists, led by James Lovelock and Lynn Margulis, who have realised that our planet Earth is a living organism. This is the new science of Gaia, which connects with the ancient Greek mythology of Earth goddess as well the Indian mythology of goddess Gayatri.
