Information from organisers

Join us in Hampshire for a weekend of ideas, stories, performances and conversations, exploring some of the deep themes of life in the early 21st century.

We find ourselves in a world of economic contraction, ecological collapse and social upheaval. How do we make sense of our lives in times like this? Where are the stories – old or new – that help us reground ourselves? Faced with the loss of much we took for granted, where are the practical projects that offer hope and meaning for the times ahead?
