Entry by donation.

Note: Compared to our usual 2nd Tuesday, November is the 3rd Tuesday of the Month (19th November).

Hearts and Minds Group –  “after-Chasing Ice” gathering

We plan to get together on the Saturday just after “Chasing Ice” to fully process its implications and work through the challenges it poses. This is an important part of the “internal transition” so necessary for the overall transition our society has to go through.

We will meet at the Garrick Theatre from 2 – 4.30 on Saturday 23rd November.
A cuppa will be available

Join us for our next Monthly Movie night and ‘The Economics of Happiness’

Economics of Happiness Poster

Summary
‘The Economics of Happiness’ features a chorus of voices from six continents calling for systemic economic change. The documentary describes a world moving simultaneously in two opposing directions. On the one hand, government and big business continue to promote globalization and the consolidation of corporate power. At the same time, all around the world people are resisting those policies, demanding a re-regulation of trade and finance – and, far from the old institutions of power, they’re starting to forge a very different future. Communities are coming together to re-build more human scale, ecological economies based on a new paradigm – an economics of localization.
