Happy Solstice, Christmas and festive season!
The Sunrise ethos is to "be the change [we] wish to see in the world” (Gandhi).
Everything that happens in the planning and carrying out of the event aims to achieve best possible practice in terms of Ethics and Environment. To really walk the walk, and be a forum for the generation of social and environmental solutions, as well as being a vibrant, dynamic, foot-stompingly fantastic medley of music and joy!
We believe our green policy to be the most comprehensive of all music festivals in the UK and we aim to keep it there by Sunrise being in the front line of the debate. The event is a platform on which issues can be raised and discussed in a non-dogmatic and inspirational fashion, whether its water powered cars or free energy, sufism or welly wanging. By coming together and making connections we are helping to build the world we want to live in. Exchanging ideas and inspiring each other we can really make a difference, as well as taking home practical information on how to minimise our impact on the planet and live an empowered, sustainable existence.
“You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”
(Mr Buckminster Fuller)
