Introduction
2021 was the year of Covid and COP26. Let 2022 be the year of conciliation and climate action. In honor of the winter solstice, we celebrate equanimity and resilience. We pay homage to the divine feminine: to Gaia, the sacred Earth. By doing so, we recognise the dignity of all life while preparing to welcome the New Year and bid farewell to 2021.
Speaker:
Raised as a Jain monk from the age of nine, Satish became a campaigner for land reform at eighteen, working to turn Gandhi's vision of a renewed India and peaceful world into reality.
In 1962, concerned about nuclear proliferation, he began, with his friend E.P. Menon, an 8,000-mile peace pilgrimage, walking from India to Moscow, Paris, London and Washington with no money, through deserts, mountains and supposedly hostile territories to deliver a message of peace to the leaders of the four nuclear powers at the time.
In 1973, he settled in England and was invited by the renowned economist E.F. Schumacher to be the editor of Resurgence magazine, now titled ‘Resurgence and Ecologist’. Under his editorship the magazine has become, according to the Guardian newspaper, 'The spiritual and artistic flagship of the green movement".
In 1991, Satish co-founded Schumacher College, in Totnes, Devon, UK, an international residential education centre named after E. F. Schumacher, which aims to provide transformative learning for sustainable living.
Satish 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’.
Satish is a regular teacher with KFBG and we are pleased to invite him back for this online talk. All are welcome to attend, though the talk is aimed in particular at the people of Hong Kong and the rest of China and Asia.

More about Kadoorie Earth Programme
Kadoorie Earth Programme (KEP) is a new initiative that is being co-created by KFBG and its network of collaborators and volunteers. By integrating the various strands of KFBG’s nature conservation, sustainable living and holistic education programmes, it provides life-transforming learning experiences that reconnect people with themselves, each other and the rest of nature and enable them to cultivate resilience in the face of climate change, economic uncertainty and other related challenges. Facilitated by leading educators, KEP guides participants to experience a paradigm shift, to let go of the same way of thinking that created the problems1 and open their hearts to new ways of knowing and acting.
We invite you to be part of this unfolding initiative, to make a difference together in this world.
1 “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used to create them.”
Albert Einstein
The talk is jointly presented by Schumacher College and Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden.
