Our main events programme includes talks, films and workshops open to all. Participant numbers are kept intentionally small and significant time is allocated for discussion, either guided or informal. Food is an important component of our evening events, which always include a break for a one-pot vegan supper that we eat together.
Ecocivilisation: Imagining a World that Works for All with Jeremy Lent
Tuesday June 16th, 6.30 for 7pm
St Ethelburga’s Center for Reconciliation and Peace
We live in an age characterised by what might be called omnicide — the systematic destruction of the conditions for life on Earth. But how did we get here and is another path truly possible?
Drawing on twenty-five years of inquiry into the deep patterns of human culture and meaning-making, Jeremy Lent will explore what it would take to move from our current trajectory toward an ecocivilisation: a world organised around human flourishing and ecological regeneration rather than endless extraction.
This talk, and follow-on conversation, will be an invitation to think together about the most consequential question of our time: what kind of world do we want to build and do we have the courage and imagination to build it?
