Hello and welcome to Under the Skin from Loominary. This week I spoke to Satish Kumar.

Satish Kumar is an Indian British activist and editor. He's been a Jane monk, a nuclear disarmament

advocate pacifist and is the current editor of Resurgents and

ecologist magazine of which he's very proud and keen to talk about. This

Satish Kumar, this dude is next level I've got to tell you he's an advanced elder. He speaks with wisdom

Authority compassion and insight he's met bloody Martin Luther King

He properly knows the score on Gandhi, he met Bertrand Russell, he did an incredible pilgrimage where he walked from India around the world with no money him and his mate, didn't they?

But what was the name of that book again no

destination fantastic book is something I thought about for a long long while

before I even worked out that it was Satish Kumar years later anyway he lives in

England now he's founder and director of programs at the Schumacher College International Center for Ecological Studies and of the Small School, the small school, I suppose it's about like sort of localized stuff he was banging to that he really loves Helen and Norberg College another guest with Adon here and I feel like this whole movement towards conscious agriculture permaculture, localization,

decentralization, along with retaining or somehow getting

ownership of necessary tech and communication industries is part of the revolution that I have long sought.

Satish Kumar, important elder. His most notable accomplishment is the completion together with a companion, EP Menin, a peace walk of

over 8,000 miles from New Delhi to Moscow, Paris and London, Washington, D.C., the capitals of the world's

earliest nuclear armed countries. Beautiful book, brilliant.

He insists that reverence for nature

should be at the heart of every political and social debate.

In fact, he did some good quotes, didn't he?

There was one bit we said,

uh, so I said, saying, like,

nature is my religion, That was really beautiful.
