Upcoming events from

The Resurgence Trust

This month Resurgence is hosting a range of exciting and uplifting online events to carry us into spring.

We welcome you to our free series of talks on Positively adapting to climate change, our Beltane celebration with Georgie Gilmore, and, for our members, a special Peace Tea gathering with Satish Kumar.

We are also pleased to share the happenings of our partners coming up this spring and — including The Conversation's series of talks featuring Ian McEwan, 'Birdgirl' Mya-Rose Craig, and many other inspirational voices.

Many of our spring offerings are free to join with an optional donation, so we hope you find something that speaks to you this April.

Positively adapting to climate change:

a trilogy of talks

From Tuesday 21 April • 7—8.30pm BST • via Zoom

While much else about the subject can cast big shadows, we look at climate breakdown from uplifting perspectives

in the areas of science, action and healing.

In this free series of talks, three amazing international experts will give us positive insights for our heads, our hands and our hearts — offering knowledge, practical advice and inner nourishment.

Please note that you can still sign up for the whole series even after one or two of the talks have passed,

as you will receive a link to recordings of all three

once the series is over.

Beltane celebration: meditation, ancient wisdom, reflection and Nature connection

Tuesday 28 April • 6.30—7.30pm BST • via Zoom



At this exuberant and expansive time, let us explore what is ready to flower and blossom in our lives and in our relationships with the life all around us.

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 members’ event:
Peace Tea with Satish Kumar

Wednesday 8 April • 7—8.30pm BST • via Zoom

Medicine Festival 2026

Theme - Walking Together

Medicine Festival is a not-for-profit gathering rooted in community, creativity, and care for the Earth. Held on the land, it brings together artists, musicians, facilitators, elders, activists, and curious humans from around the world to explore what it means to live in right relationship with ourselves, each other, and the wider web of life.
