Soil, soul, society: A new trinity for our time
A 3 days workshop with Satish Kumar to experience a eco-philosophy that cares about all life
For a happy humanity we need a holistic way of life. We need an ecologically regenerative culture, we need a spiritually satisfying philosophy and we need a socially just economic system. In order to weave these three interrelated dimensions together Satish Kumar will present a new trinity for our time.
This new trinity is Soil, Soul and Society. Soil represents Nature. Everything comes from soil and returns to soil. If we look after the soil, the soil will look after everything else. Soul is the inner dimension. Caring for the soul means developing compassion, gratitude, and generosity in our hearts. Society is the human dimension. We need to learn to live with each other peacefully and harmoniously and celebrate our national, religious and cultural diversities.
This retreat is a unique opportunity to step away from the noise and immerse yourself in a deeply enriching experience guided by Satish Kumar, a world-renowned peace and environmental activist.
Over three days, you will share time with like-minded individuals, engage in meaningful dialogues, and participate in practices that cultivate presence, gratitude, and interconnectedness. This is not just a retreat—it is a journey towards clarity, peace, and inspired action in service of life on earth.
