Fall in Love with the Future
2026-05-30 10:00 - 16:30 | St Martin’s Church, Church Street, Epsom, Surrey, KT17 4PX
A workshop-with-a-difference which will guide us in imagining the type of future we’d like to be part, and how to get there. Best-selling author Rob Hopkins (founder of Transition Totnes) leads us playfully in ‘Imagination Training’.
The event is open to anyone: members of local sustainability groups, teachers/lecturers, town councils, local businesses, in fact, anyone with an interest in looking in a new way at future possibilities in building networks and connections with fellow residents and community groups. It’s a day for people from all parts of the local community – the more ‘cross-pollination’ the better.
