With over 100 contributors, workshops, activities and exhibitions over the weekend, Hawkwood's Seed Festival (Charity no. 311767) provides a fertile ground for festival-goers to explore their own personal connection to the earth and the challenges of environmental change through music, poetry, debate, nature and community connection.
Celebrating and protecting our environment is central to the ethos of Hawkwood, and our grounds with onsite biodynamic farm, woodland, natural spring and gardens provide an ideal setting for planting big ideas. We are proud to organise and host this weekend in partnership with Seed Idea, acting as a catalyst for action, activism and creative expression.
One thing we need more than Hope is Action. Once we start to Act, Hope is everywhere.
Nature shrinks as capital grows. The growth of the market cannot solve the very crisis it creates.
It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!
This is probably the most difficult task we have ever given ourselves, which is to intentionally transform the economic development model, for the first time in human history.
Be part of the Seed Festival and the wave of change.
