Feeling disillusioned? Stuck for ideas? Wanting to find new ways to make a difference in these challenging times?

Invest a few hours in yourself and your community by joining St Martin’s Church and Sustainable Epsom & Ewell at a one day workshop led by author of ‘From What Is to What If’ Rob Hopkins.

Rob is used to looking at things differently. He was a founder member of Transition Totnes, the movement focussed on building sustainable and resilient communities, which has spread across the country. He has written several books about his experiences, including ‘From What Is to What If’ and ‘How to fall in love with the future’ and has given workshops to share this experience to community groups, local councils and businesses in the UK and on the Continent. Now he’s coming to Epsom…!

Where? St Martin’s Church, Church St, Epsom KT17 4PX

Early Bird Ticket (until 30th April) – £20
Standard Ticket – £25

We would like as many people as want to come to this event. If you are struggling to afford a ticket, please contact us as we may be able to make alternative arrangements.

Rob refers to his workshops as ‘Imagination Training’, and he helps us to build up our imagination muscles and envisage something we might not have dared dream of before. He guides us in how to take the steps to bring our ideas to fruition and really make a difference locally. Have a look at his website for more details and some enthusiastic testimonials:

“If you are feeling a little jaded that work life has lost its sparkle or if you are stuck in processes without a sense of moving towards a well-lit goal, then book in Rob’s help! I personally ended the day feeling charged up and ready for action. We are not mindless cogs in a machine churning out the inevitable code of our own demise. We can snap out of it. We can turn on parts of our brain that we haven’t used for a while and think of better outcomes. We can imagine a bright future and set sail for it. In these very challenging times when doom and gloom are omnipresent; Rob’s approach is the antidote we need. Let’s not surrender to the bad vibes. Let’s gather ourselves together, get organised and co create the thriving and abundant future that are hearts our crying out for. Now is the time!”
