Our work in Communities

The ‘Be The Change’ Symposium takes a fresh look at our most critical current concerns – environmental sustainability, social justice and spiritual fulfilment – and explores and exposes what connects them.

A unique, one-day workshop experience, it offers insight into the nature of our world, with leading-edge information, dynamic group interaction and inspiring video clips from some of the world’s most respected thinkers and doers, including Paul Hawken, Desmond Tutu, Julia Butterfly Hill, Brian Swimme and Thomas Berry

The aim of the Symposium is to explore how, by pulling together on an unprecedented scale, we can move in a new direction, towards an era of interconnected action and collective wellbeing. If you are ready to be disturbed, inspired and moved to action – if you are ready to be introduced to a thriving community of like-hearted, deeply committed people – we invite you to come to this Symposium.

The Symposium was created in the United States by The Pachamama Alliance, who generously gifted it to Be The Change.

During the Symposium you will explore four questions

•    Where Are We? – an examination of the state of environmental, social and personal well-being
•    How did We Get Here? – tracing the root causes that lead to our current imbalance
•    What’s Possible for the Future? – discovering new ways of relating with each other, with the Earth and looking at the emerging Movement for change
•    Where Do We Go from Here? – considering the stand we want to be in the world and our personal and collective impact
