Programme

What if Hope was something we did rather than had? And that doing it made our lives more satisfying and a better version of the future more likely?
This talk introduces Active Hope as a stance on life, where we’re active in support of the future we hope for.  We look at what gets in its way, as well as practices and insights that strengthen our capacity to make a difference in the world.Chris Johnstone is the co-author of Active Hope with Joanna Macy.Suggested donation £7, pay what you can afford, after costs proceeds will go to support Extinction Rebellion Edinburgh activists
