How Do We Live a Life in an Era of Collapse with Sarah Wilson

Tuesday September 23rd
Doors & drinks at 6.30pm; Talk starts 7pm

This event is now fully booked.

Sarah has just finished a three-year project (culminating in a forthcoming book) that investigates systems collapse - through a spiritual, psychological, philosophical and data-led lens. In this talk, she will explore not the gritty devastating details of what’s happening to the world, but how we can now live a meaningfully life through it. How do we move forward when there is no longer “hope” that we will “make it”? What do we cleave to now? Is prepping the answer? What do we turn our attention to if there are no longer “solutions”? How do we deal with the dissonance and destruction?

She will draw on her experience as a mainstream journalist (she was News Corp opinion columnist, editor in chief of Cosmopolitan Australia and host of Masterchef Australia) to share how we can bring the difficult message to others and to cut through the global resistance to the subject. Ultimately, she will argue, collapse presents us with an invitation - to rise from our avoidant adultescent numbness into a vibrant, noble maturity, and into our full humanity. Which is what we have been craving for generations.

Sarah's talk will be followed by a one-pot vegan supper and discussion.
