At present the world is in turmoil. Iran, Ukraine and Palestine are in particular facing catastrophic crises. According to the life-long peace activist Satish Kumar, these wars are unnecessary and the use of armed forces should be to prevent wars not wage wars.

Marking the launch of his latest book Peace is Possible (Bloomsbury, 2026) Satish Kumar will speak about peace among nations, and how peace is not only urgently needed but also how it is possible. Satish will suggest that peace is more than an absence of war but instead a way of living in harmony with each and all. He calls for us to make peace with ourselves, with nature and with all the peoples of the world. This year, in his 90th birthday celebration, Satish is reminding the world that peace is not just a distant dream but that peace is achievable here and now.

Satish Kumar is an activist and internationally renowned speaker on ecological issues. Born in India, he has been a Jain monk, nuclear disarmament advocate and pacifist. He walked 8,000 miles from India to America for peace. Now living in England, Kumar is founder and honorary president of Schumacher College, Editor Emeritus of Resurgence & Ecologist magazine and a Fellow of the Temenos Academy.
