We are honoured that you are joining us for this celebration. As Resurgence marks an outstanding 60 years of nourishing the human spirit, ecological awareness and community spirit, this event is designed to ‘stop the clock’ on an outside world often filled with fragmentation and loss, and instead forge a space of radical love, beauty, hope and trust in the Earth and one another that can be absorbed by each of us and amplified through the outside world. Our gathering today is held by a central idea: One with the Earth. Not the Earth as a resource or an object to be used, but as a living organism – a source of life we belong to and depend on. Human wellbeing and the wellbeing of the natural world are two sides of the same coin. We are not separate from Nature. We are Nature. We are One. Over 60 years, so much has been learnt, protected, and passed on through Resurgence, and we want to celebrate this. At the same time, we do not want to only look backwards, or simply agree with each other about how far there still is to go. The invitation is to recognise what has been achieved and to look forward: to ask how we move further and more consciously towards oneness with the Earth. Through our time here together, we hope to move beyond categories of speakers or guests so that each one of us steps forward as a true Trustee of the Earth. We thank you for bringing your energy, vision and heart to the Resurgence experience. We will look boldly towards the future together.

Upcoming events from The Resurgence Trust

This month we are hosting a range of events designed to help you recentre, recharge and refocus...

Read our newsletter online > conta.cc/4uVQC1G
Resurgence Talk: Vicki Hird – ‘Rebugging the farm’ Wednesday 29 July • 7—8pm BST • FREE via Zoom Vicki Hird will talk about the importance of insects and other invertebrates and how we can look after them. She will also offer a sneak preview of her upcoming new book about how invertebrates talk to each other, to plants and to fungi. Vicki is an award-winning environmental campaigner, researcher and writer working mainly in food, farming and environmental policy. She is Strategic Lead on Agriculture at The Wildlife Trusts and was Head of Sustainable Farming for Sustain: The Alliance For Better Food And Farming. Her passion for insects and the planet led to her book Rebugging the Planet, subtitled ‘The remarkable things that insects (and other invertebrates) do — and why we need to love them more’. She is a Fellow of The Royal Entomological Society. Visit https://resurgenceevents.org Harvest celebration – Lammas: ancient wisdom, guided meditation, Nature connection and self-reflection Tuesday 28 July • 6.30—7.30pm BST • FREE via Zoom At the beginning of the harvest season, let us celebrate the generosity, abundance and gifts of Nature by reflecting on how we can share our gifts with the world. Let us honour the natural world by turning to it as a teacher and as a guide in reflection. Let us embrace Nature — both around us and within us — through meditation and Nature-connection practices and by honouring the wisdom of the ancient people of these lands. Resurgence Earth Festivals gatherings are hosted by Georgie Gilmore, a meditation teacher who has a deep love for the Earth. Having spent a number of years teaching meditation to adults and teenagers as a way of supporting their wellbeing, Georgie now guides meditation in a way that seeks to tend to the wellbeing of both people and planet. Visit https://resurgenceevents.org Blue and green meditations Fridays 17 and 24 July • 8—8.30am BST • FREE via Zoom Discover the meditative qualities of two beautiful colours from Gaia’s palette with these free events. The natural world is bursting with beautiful greens from Earth’s vegetation and brilliant blues from water and the vast sky. They are a big part of our connection to Earth’s bounty, and, as Nature lovers and artists, we may find they instinctively help us to relax. With deeper contemplation, discover what colour may convey and how it enhances our lives. Rowena’s new guided meditations will help us appreciate the vibrancy of life as we delve deeply within each colour to inspire wellbeing, inner peace and revitalisation.
