A special Lewes outing for this popular monologue by Catalyst Club host Dr. Bramwell.
When David’s partner left him for someone she described as ‘younger, but more mature’, he knew he had a thing or two to learn about life. Taking a year off, he journeyed through Europe and America seeking out extraordinary communities that could teach him how to be a better person.
His quest led him to ashrams, an anarchist haven in the heart of Copenhagen; Findhorn, a Scottish spiritual retreat favoured by Ruby Wax; Esalen, a paradisal community in Big Sur dreamt up by Aldous Huxley; and Arcosanti, an entire eco-city in the Arizona desert. Most impressive of all was Damanhur, a 1000-strong community in the Alps who, over 23 years, secretly built a giant underground temple the size of St Paul’s Cathedral, a village of tree houses, toured Europe with an orchestra of singing plants and claimed to have conquered time travel!
Inspired by his adventures David returned home with a desire to change. Not just himself but also his neighbourhood and city. Find out how he succeeded in this humorous and uplifting show that asks some big questions and finds the answers surprisingly simple.
