⭐️ RADICAL LOVE: Life and Legacy of Satish Kumar ⭐️

Some films tell a story.
Others quietly remind us how it is possible to live.

Winner of the Legacy Award at Ray of Light Awards 2026, 'Radical Love' is an intimate portrait of Satish Kumar (Co-founder & Patron of Network of Wellbeing & Founder of the @ResugenceTrust ) - peace pilgrim, environmental thinker and lifelong advocate for compassionate living. Following one of the world’s most influential voices in ecology and spirituality, the film explores a life dedicated to the belief that lasting change begins within ourselves.

Beautifully directed by Julio Hey, 'Radical Love' is less a biography than an invitation. Through moments of reflection, wisdom and quiet humanity, it asks us to reconsider our relationship with nature, with one another and with the future we are creating together.

The film was presented as a special screening during #RayofLightAwards 2026, before Satish Kumar accepted the Legacy Award in person during the Grand Gala Finale.

Huge congratulations to Julio Hey @juliohey , Satish Kumar @satish.kumar.foundation and the entire team behind this remarkable film.

Presented as part of the official programme of Fantasia Ibiza Festival 2026.

Open Skies is a synthesis of art, nature, and facilitated rest.

For four days in the Devon countryside, nestled among trees and fields, we’ve crafted a container for you to reconnect with your creativity. Through plein air painting, the practice of creating while immersed in nature, alongside sound baths, meditation, and nourishing food, this retreat is designed to feel like a space where you can come back to yourself.

While creating Open Skies, we found ourselves returning to the question of what it really means to have a creative practice, both in our own lives, and in the spaces we hold for others.

We kept coming back to the feeling that creativity cannot be forced. It needs the right conditions. It asks for spaciousness, rest, safety, and presence. So much of this retreat has been shaped around the idea, not how to make people produce, but how to help create the conditions in which creativity can naturally emerge.

This retreat isn’t about giving you a step by step guide to painting a landscape but instead we want to help you connect to your own unique perspective and supporting you in creating from that place. It is guided rather than instructional, with space for exploration, reflection, and your own way of responding to what you see and feel.

For us, nature is not simply the backdrop to the retreat but an integral part of the practice itself. To spend time outside, to observe slowly, to notice light, colour, movement, texture, and sound, is part of what helps open something in us. The landscape becomes both companion and inspiration.

We also don’t see rest as separate from creativity. Rest, stillness, and feeling held are not extras but a necessary part of what makes creativity possible. We believe that when people feel more grounded, more spacious, and more connected to themselves, something softer and more honest can begin to come through.

At its heart, Open Skies is an invitation to slow down, to pay attention, and to reconnect with yourself, with nature, and with your own creative rhythm.
