In 2006 Dr Bramwell spent a year visiting the world’s most extraordinary communities in search of the perfect life. After wild adventures meeting time-travellers, yogis and singing plants, he returned home to discover a simple yet profound catalyst for social change happening on his own doorstep. With your help he’d like to start a movement…

(And if that’s not intriguing enough, he also promises to share his own extraordinary vision for utopia that just requires a few bits of wood, a bucket of water and the death of a rich uncle.)
