On Saturday the 13th February we hosted a Symposium called “Be the Change” at St. Mark church in Reigate. The purpose of the Symposium, which began in 2005 and is now offered in 16 countries, is to create a world that is environmentally sustainable, spiritually fulfilling and socially just.
Aproximately 25 people from Reigate, Redhill and surounding areas joined us to participate in workshops and discussions, and watch clips from inspirational speakers from around the world. Speakers who have made a change in their lives, and are helping to change the dream of the moderm world to be one that is less fixated on money, and more concerned with the environment and community.
The event was a huge success, and left most people motivated and inspired. My personal feeling was that it was amazing to connect with so many people who are involved in amazing projects within our community. It was a great day for networking, learning about the Transition movement, and all of the projects that are in the pipelines.
If you were unable to attend the event, but would still like to learn about or get involved with projects that we are working on, please come along to our meetings on the first Tuesday of every month at the Venture Inn on Lesbourne road, Reigate, or on the 3rd Tuesday of every month at Home Cottage, right behind Redhill train station. Both meetings start at 8pm.
