An evening with Satish Kumar and Rupert Read 

Best known for his 8,000-mile walk for peace, life-long activist and former monk, Satish Kumar, has been inspiring global change for over 50 years. He undertook a pilgrimage for peace, walking for two years without money from India to America for the cause of nuclear disarmament. Now in his 80s, Satish has devoted his life to campaigning for ecological regeneration and social justice. He is a world-renown author and international speaker, founder of The Resurgence Trust and Editor Emeritus of Resurgence & Ecologist – a change-making magazine he edited for over 40 years.

This event, which is part of Leiston Book Festival, will be in two parts. The first part includes a screening of Radical Love, an intimate documentary that reveals Satish’s journey and testimony to sow deeper and more purposeful ways of being on Earth. After an interval, I will be in conversation with Satish Kumar. This will be followed by a Q&A.
