We must weave a new world and quickly for the good of us all or face unprecedented chaos.  In this conference, we will explore Ecofeminist origins and its principles. Building bridges between feminists, environmentalist, and animal rights activists in order to create a world where the plunder of the earth and her resources, and the exploitation of animals, races and genders are no longer acceptable.

This conference is vegan. All genders are welcome. You do not have to be vegan to attend the conference but whilst attending the conference we ask that you respect our wishes and do not bring animal products to consume on the premises.

The conference is a safe space/positive space. No racism, sexism, anti-LGBT will be tolerated. Equally all views are safe to express, the organizers expressly wish for people to feel free to speak safely themselves without fear of vitriolic attack in any form.

No recording will be allowed.
