My beloved earth - Satish Kumar |  19th September, 2020

Club Groeneveld is een verdiepende leeromgeving, inspiratiebron en club voor krachtige leiders, ondernemers, directeuren,initiatiefnemers, professionals en vooroplopers. We nodigen uit tot verruiming en verdieping van de kijk op het leven, het eigen leiderschap en verantwoordelijkheid in de maatschappij. Samen zoeken we de ervaring op die raakt en bezinnen we ons op belangrijke universele thema’s, dilemma’s en twijfels. Daarbij beschouwen we de natuur als belangrijke inspiratiebron voor verdieping en grensverleggende inzichten. Want waarmee je je bewust verbonden voelt, vernietig je niet!Club Groeneveld is oorspronkelijk in 2017 opgericht door OPEN Business Leaders, Staatsbosbsheer en Stichting Buitenfonds. Het wegvallen van (Nederlandse) natuursubsidies vraagt om nieuwe investeringsmogelijkheden. De lidmaatschappen en activiteiten van Club Groeneveld bieden hier een alternatief voor. We DOEN en leggen actief verbinding met belangrijke (Nederlandse) natuurprojecten. Daarom gaat altijd een deel van de opbrengsten naar Stichting Buitenfonds ten behoeve van waardevolle projecten in de natuurgebieden van Staatsbosbeheer.

He was just nine when he left his family home to join the wandering Jains, and 18 when he decided he could achieve more back in the world, campaigning for land reform in India and working to turn Gandhi&#x27;s vision of a renewed India and a peaceful world into reality.Inspired in his early 20s by the example of the British peace activist Bertrand Russell, Satish embarked on an 8,000-mile peace pilgrimage. Carrying no money and depending on the kindness and hospitality of strangers, he and a colleague walked from India to America, via Moscow, London and Paris, to deliver a humble packet of &#x27;peace tea&#x27; to the leaders of the world&#x27;s then four nuclear powers.In 1973 Satish settled in the UK becoming the editor of Resurgence magazine, a position he held until 2016, making him the UK&#x27;s longest-serving editor of the same magazine. During this time, he has been the guiding spirit behind a number of now internationally respected ecological and educational ventures. He cofounded Schumacher College in South Devon, where he is a Visiting Fellow. In his 50th year, Satish undertook another pilgrimage - again carrying no money. This time, he walked 2,000 miles to the holy places of Britain, a venture he describes as a celebration of his love of life and nature. In 2000 he was awarded an Honorary Doctorate in Education from the University of Plymouth. In July 2001, he received an Honorary Doctorate in Literature from the University of Lancaster, and in the November of that same year, he was presented with the Jamnalal Bajaj International Award for promoting Gandhian values outside India. In 2009 Satish was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Laws (LLD) by the University of Exeter. In 2013 he was made Doctor of the University by the University of Suffolk. In 2014 Satish was appointed an Oxfam UK Ambassador. Satish is also a member of the Advisory Council of the Gross National Happiness Centre of Bhutan. In 2019 he was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Science by the University of Wales.His autobiography, No Destination, first published by Green Books in 1978, has sold over 50,000 copies. He is also the author of You Are, Therefore I Am: A Declaration of Dependence, The Buddha and the Terrorist, Earth Pilgrim, Soil, Soul, Society and Elegant Simplicity. In 2005, Satish was Sue Lawley&#x27;s guest on Radio 4&#x27;s Desert Island Discs. In 2008, as part of BBC2&#x27;s Natural World series, he presented a 50-minute documentary from Dartmoor, which was watched by over 3.6 million people. He appears regularly in the printed media and a range of radio programmes including Thought for the Day and Midweek. In recognition of his commitment to animal welfare and compassionate living, he was elected vice-president of the RSPCA. He continues to teach and run workshops on reverential ecology, holistic education and voluntary simplicity and is a much sought-after speaker both in the UK and abroad.
