Two last events of the Resilience and Regeneration Roadshow - and you can catch-up on the previous ones too!
Hey everyone,
We’re excited, humbled and inspired by the attendance to the Byron Shire Resilience and Regeneration Roadshow so far, with locals from all around the Byron Shire and beyond actively participating in the events in Byron Bay, Brunswick Head, and Bangalow.
There are two more events planned, with a few tickets left, but hurry-up, make sure to book today if you want to get a chance to get in.
Catherine Ingram joins us as a special guest for the fourth event of the Roadshow, held in Ballina on the 27th of March - yes, this coming Saturday!
Catherine is one of the advisors and ambassadors of Resilient Byron. The depth of her thoughtfulness has led her to consider bravely with her eyes and heart open, the dark knowledge of what we are facing as a human race in these times. Her essay ‘Facing Extinction’ has been downloaded well over one million times since it was put up two years ago. You can find it here www.catherineingram.com/facingextinction/. Catherine is also an international dharma teacher, author and former journalist. She has led silent retreats and public events called Dharma Dialogues for the past thirty years. Catherine has served on numerous boards, for human rights causes. Currently, she is president of Living Dharma, and a board member of Resilient Byron and Global Animal, an animal rights organization.
