Tricks of the Light

Tricksters are transgressive figures that tarry with the gods. They play hazardous games that shake up heaven for the sake of earth. They’re harbingers of disruption, mischievous figures who carry chaos into the heart of any system that oppresses and justifies the status quo.

In this festival of incendiary ideas Peter will not only be speaking, but will also hand pick a collection of subversive artists, musicians, poets, activists and thinkers to shine light on how we might become tricksters within our own religious, political and cultural contexts.

Alongside Peter, the world-renowned philosopher and theologian John Caputo will be one of the festival speakers. He has written dozens of books, including The Weakness of God (Winner of the 2007 AAR award for Constructive-Reflective Studies in Religion) and What Would Jesus Deconstruct (Winner of the ForeWord Magazine Best Philosophy Book of 2007), and lectures across the world. Caputo’s work has been one of the main influences behind Peter’s project. This will be a rare oppurtunity to spend a few days alonside Peter and John as they wrestle through some of the most important issues facing the world of religion today.

The festival is limited to 40 and the ticket price does not include food or accommodation (although we will give you some cheap options). Also, there will be pre-event drinks on the evening of the 13th to give everyone a chance to hang out and get to know each other.

We fully expect to sell out this year (the early bird tickets went in less than a day), so if you want to be part of this experience, book now by following this link.
