Satish Kumar is a global voice for peace, ecology and the art of living well — a thinker and practitioner whose life’s work invites us to reimagine our relationship with the Earth, with each other, and with ourselves.
Founder of Schumacher College in the UK and Editor of Resurgence magazine for over 40 years — described by The Guardian as “the artistic and spiritual flagship of the Green Movement” — Satish has spent decades weaving ecological wisdom, spiritual insight and social renewal into a compelling philosophy of life.
A former Jain monk, Satish undertook an extraordinary 8,000-mile peace pilgrimage on foot, walking from New Delhi through Moscow, Paris and London to Washington DC without money, carrying a message of non-violence and interconnectedness. Along the way he met figures such as Bertrand Russell and Martin Luther King Jr., shaping a worldview rooted in humility, courage and service.
In this talk — inspired by his widely cited idea of “Soil, Soul, Society” — Satish Kumar will explore a new trinity for our age:
Soil — the source of life itself, grounding us in the web of nature, reminding us we are part of a living Earth;
Soul — the inner landscape of meaning, compassion and self-realisation;
Society — the shared human community that flourishes when we recognise our interdependence and common humanity.
