Time to Transition

The time has come to embrace solutions. Whether we face the End of the Age of Oil or the End of Time itself, our duty as stewards of Planet Earth is to consciously step forward into a new world, forging the future and reconnecting with our Home. In the face of economic and ecological disaster, the desperate chase for finite resources and a seemingly endless stream of wars and conflicts, what choice have we but to choose a New way?

Off-Grid is a chance to refine your skills and define your values as a participant in a sustainable future. An intimate environment in which to share skills, trade knowledge, impart wisdom and make a difference. Four days out of the world to get into changing our world. In a world teetering on the brink of disaster can we afford not to?

A participatory and family focused camp, with international speakers, forums, workshops, art installations, temple space and performance. Exploring emergent culture and the ways in which we can create together.

Why is Off-Grid important?

Unrealised by the most, human civilisation is an intensely fragile construction. It is built on the fabric of dreams, of a belief in the invincibility and infallibility of its systems, of its laws, of its military force and of its moral rightness. Yet human history tells us over and over that civilisations inevitably fall. This is inescapable. Yet we have created the illusion that this one will last for ever, as, undoubtedly, each civilisation does. But within each civilisation, in its dying hours, comes those who are willing to prepare for the changes that lie ahead, those with the vision to see and plan and move forward into a new era, ready and willing. These are often the bravest of souls, those who are willing to fight the party line, be ridiculed and do the unthinkable.

Our story now appears to be one of an Empire collapsing from within. It is the inevitable result of a time in human history when we believed that our actions would not have consequences, that our bubble was impregnable. It is not. We are now reaching the limits of our reckless consumption and degradation of the natural environment. Off-grid living offers a different way.

Off-Grid, for us, means choosing to take the steps away from this faltering civilisation, and bravely step forward as pioneers of a newly emerging world. Off-Grid means switching off your TVs, switching off the Entertainment and choosing instead to participate in life. This can mean simply sharing a story around a campfire, rather than listening to one on the radio; it can mean putting solar panels on your roof and growing some veg; it can mean choosing to live in a self-build eco home in deepest Wales. Each person has their journey and their choices to make, as radical or as gradual as they choose.

Sunrise:Off Grid aims to offer as many solutions and nuggets of knowledge and wisdom as possible. It is a forum for those living an Off-Grid lifestyle to meet, and also for those interested in it to find out much more. It is for beginners and the long-termers. It is for the casually interested and the hardcore dedicated. We hope you like it!

Sunrise off-grid is run by a Community Interest Company, building a world beyond monetary profit.
