RESIST

We face many threats to our health, lives, societies, planet, stability, democracies, peace...

In the form of disease, stress, polarisation, inequality, technology, extremism, war...

Now is not the time to be passive. There is no excuse for inaction.

At Full Circle we come together and plan a way forward.

Be part of the community with hope, resilience and determination,

and join us for a weekend of conversation and exploration at the Festival of Ideas.

FESTIVAL OF IDEAS
FRI 28 - SAT 29 - SUN 30 NOV 2025

For the last 13 years, Full Circle has been bringing great minds, original thinkers and doers, to meet, inspire and connect.

Our Festival of Ideas - 3-days that nourish mind, body and soul – is the alternative to the Christmas shopping frenzy and a world in business-as usual mode.

We come together to address the issues that keep us up at night, with fresh thinking and new ways of seeing old problems. We bring together those who care about the future in a community of thought and action.

Join us.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Thought provoking TALKS.
Strikingly simple but powerful CONVERSATIONS.
Fresh perspectives, thoughtful people, a sense of COMMUNITY.

Not forgetting LIVE MUSIC - ART SHOW - CREATIVE WRITING & ARTISTIC WORKSHOP - GONG BATH, with FOOD and DRINK available all weekend!

You can speak YOUR OWN LANGUAGE in Conversations & Workshops.
