I had the pleasure of sitting with the matriarch of localisation and long time Byron wisdom keeper Helena Norbert Hodge. She has been at the forefront of a global movement toward bringing our lives back to a healthier, connected and sustainable local ecosystem. Her work has taken her on a global trek to understand and experience what can be learnt and implemented to support this global shift. The project that is the vehicle for this vision is Local Futures (www.localfutures.org). This inspiring organisation has brought us publications and films such as The Economics of Happiness, Ancient Futures and most recently Local is our Future and countless projects and events.

We would like to introduce you to an event looming fast that will be a hub of knowledge, ideas and inspiration with an amazing array of presenters including Russell Brand, Noah Chomsky, Vedana Shiva, Charles Eisenstein and our own Damn Gameau and many many more.
