Satish Kumar - "Reconnecting with food".“ Sadly, in the modern world most of us know not how to wait, how to fast nor, for that matter, how to feast.” The Sixth Annual Stewardship Lecture at the House of Falkland will be delivered by Satish Kumar, one of the country’s leading humanitarian activists. Satish is editor of Resurgence Magazine, which has been described as ‘the artistic and spiritual voice of the green movement’. He is founder and Director of Schumacher College as well as an internationally acclaimed author and speaker. Satish will deliver a lecture that focuses on our lost links with food and the impact it has on climate change. Tickets cost £25 but as ever we are offering the Friends of Falkland’s Heritage a discounted rate of £20. Organic wine & Fife Diet supper prepared by award winning chef Christopher Trotter. If you wish to purchase a ticket please contact the office on 01337 858838. Tickets are now available to buy online at http://www.bigtentfestival.co.uk/annual-stewardship-lecture/ . All surplus funds will support the charity’s work to safeguard the future of House of Falkland.
