The wonderful Satish Kumar 🙌🏽🦋💚 launched his new & very beautiful book ‘Peace is Possible’ 📖at a time that feels impossible to many of us - hope & action is the only way. His new book brings together three of his other works, a framing of what brings peace & how we all have a place in not undermining it. I like his Om, Shakti, Shakti, Shakti morning chant: the 1st Shakti recognising our need to find peace within ourselves (cutting those mean, warring thoughts & self talk, finding a humility, softness and calm; the 2nd Shakti to be accepting, non judgmental about our neighbours close or far (truly respectful & honoring of our differences & diversity); the 3rd Shakti our respecting & recalling in love with the natural world, (the war we rage & suffering we inflict on animals through eating their products, the rainforests we fell for unhealthy food production and our oceans too. 🌱🦋💚 Satish came to stay at the beginning of my journey when I started Global Village and People Tree, the fair trading arm was starting, in Tokyo, Japan. He walked us through the valley, we sat in meditation & talked about peace through action. I’m grateful to have sold Resurgence Magazine, attended great courses at Schumacher College ( which is starting again near Totnes soon we hope) and hopeful that one day eco thinking will be more accessible to all. Thanks Satish for your work. - Do You Believe Peace Starts with You?

Amazing celebration 🥳 Congratulations to you beautiful both! ❤️❤️

A historic turn out! 500,000 people from all over the UK got coaches down to London to march from Hyde Park to Trafalgar Square to call for peace, anti right wing fascism war mongering horror. The veil has fallen. We see clearly the narrative of terror being perpetuated by the billionaire corporate elite. People coming together for unity, democracy, people & hope. We have a lot to rebuild … great to catch up with friends from the Green Party & Business Declares

I recently had pleasure of being invited to - near Chittagong, to meet incredible artists, thinkers and ecologists by founder / MD Amzad, Niloofar Chaman, Rabaya, Shamir, Sagirika, Jarin, Asia, with great friend All of us work in different ways to promote awareness of our connection with nature, on social justice, gender based violence and love as a vehicle to bridge that pursuit. I have too many photos of the two happy days I spent at this oasis, so I’ll be posting tomorrow on the theme of “Nature in Sona Pahar Eco Farm”. Song by Suraiya’s son Arnob.

With Suraiya Choudhury 🙌🏽❤️🙌🏽 famed & brilliant intl craft designer and passionate, gentle activist for women’s rights and empowerment practitioner - travelled and worked together in rural 🌱🙌🏽💕🌱Bangladesh for over 30 years. Many of these Fair Trade groups have collapsed 😭unable to “compete” with the ‘take-make-waste’ highly extractive and exploitative economic system. As becomes clearer by the day, it literally tramples women’s rights, nature and democracy. Sunday, March 8th is International Women’s Day with a rather cumbersome theme “Give To Gain” (the opposite to where we are “Take to Tragedy” with life, democracy & systems failing around us), the theme asks us to support a regenerative, inclusive, well being, post-growth systems and movements that support women and their children. by withdrawing our custom, support & patronage of warmongering corporates and their powerful, elite male ownership - “Give To Gain” means standing up for peace, livelihoods and rights for All

NO shortage of answers to creating peace, justice and a flourishing world. Working with artisans and the creative and a collaborative process is a powerful reminder. 💚💚💚Trying to keep positive here in Bangladesh and wanting to share with you the Celia Cowl Dress being made in gorgeous organic cotton, handwoven multi check - open for Pre-orders & available online next week .
