Freewheeling
What is Freewheeling?
- A forum for future-thinking and practical living, in the context of friendship and community
- A non-profit initiative for social and environmental sustainability
- A strong, compelling association of people who are intent on making a difference, because of who they are, what they do, and the wholehearted courage with which they are embracing our future.
Freewheeling has created a dynamic, inclusive community space that engages and challenges people to think ahead, pushing the edge of innovative ideas and action towards a more sustainable future for all.
Its sustainability ethos is holistic and far-reaching, and includes not only Post-Carbon and Green issues, Renewables, Land and Agriculture, but also Education, Economics, Wellness and Personal Development, Arts and Culture, and the full spectrum of Community Development.
