SS Small is Beautiful
The project is called: S.S. Small is Beautiful Come set sail with us on the S.S. Small is Beautiful as we navigate our way through the seven seas of our individual, shared, and collective journeys. Our point of connection is Schumacher College and so, this ship, and vessel for our journey shall be the S.S. Small is Beautiful, hop on and cruise with us for awhile.This journey will be a vessel in the form of a podcast, sharing stories and conversations with past, present, and future students, lecturers, facilitators, and as many of the do'ers n' dreamers and movers and shakers that have been a part of the Schumacher College and greater Dartington Experiment.This is all about collaboration and will partly be a research project, while also becoming a living document that will help provide an archival resource for those of us who've come through Schumacher and Dartington, or for those just learning about it who would like to hear more about people's experiences, stories, and why this place has been so magical and impactful. It seems those who've been drawn here share a love and dedication to help transform our human trajectory towards a more ecologically integrated, regenerative, and socially just reality. This is a place for anyone who might be inclined to share in this journey with us. And in some ways, for folks to hear from colleagues and friends and find ways to connect with great projects, organizations, and movements around the world.
