Beauty will save the world

No - but there will be a break of 60-90 minutes to enable people to use one of the many cafes in the vicinity of the railway station.

Paid parking is available in the station car park - and also at the Hothampton Car Park and the car park above Morrisons.

We begin with tea and coffee at from 10.00am. The session itself will start promptly at 10.30am.

It was a phrase originally coined by Dostoyevsky and then echoed by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn in his Nobel Prize acceptance speech in 1970.

The workshop will explore the transformative power of beauty, from the sacred foundation story of the Iroquois League to the wisdom of Dostoyevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov. We will examine how beauty, forgiveness, and social transformation are deeply inter-connected.

This workshop is based on active participation in the form of discussion, improvisation and acting. To enable this deeper level of engagement numbers are necessarily limited and participants will be expected to do some reading beforehand.

With a relatively small number of places we need to ensure that we cover the costs of putting on the event and that there is a financial incentive for those who have booked to turn up.

No - but we do not want cost to be a bar to those who would otherwise like to come. If this applies to you, please contact us for a scholarship (reduced price or free) place.
