“You are, therefore I am.”
A former Jain monk turned peace pilgrim, Satish Kumar has spent more than six decades inviting us to reimagine our relationship with the living world. In the 1960s, he walked more than 8,000 miles from India to the world’s nuclear capitals without money, carrying a simple message of peace. Founder of Schumacher College and author of Soil, Soul, Society, he brings ecology, spirituality, education, and social justice together through a profoundly hopeful vision rooted in interdependence, compassion, and simplicity.
During his residency in Paris, Satish Kumar joined the ninth edition of the ChangeNOW Summit and took part in a series of public conversations intergenerational dialogues (Le Parlement des Jeunes), and many podcast recordings. Across these encounters, he shared a lifetime of reflection on nonviolence, ecological consciousness, and the inseparable relationship between soil, soul, and society.
