Day 5 Programme
Why we need to reclaim the Impossible, and become better Time Travellers
:: activism :: imagination ::
In this presentation Rob Hopkins, founder of the Transition movement, will explore the concept of Imagination Activism, and why he believes the Time Machine that he, and others, have built in a cellar deep beneath Totnes Castle, could turn out to be one of the most important developments in the expansion of the permaculture concept.
He will share some of his remarkable Field Recordings from the Future, sounds harvested from recent trips to the 2030 that could still result from our doing everything we possibly could between now and then. And he might even invite you to join him in his Time Machine for a bit of time travelling, just so long as he can get the Disbelief Suspenders repaired in time.
