On Saturday 21 June, ChangeMakers Host Amanda Tattersall is speaking at the Winter Solstice Event in Albury organised by the Survivors of Suicide & Friends. There she will share some of her experiences of living with bipolar and what reflecting on those experiences have brought to her work as a change maker.

You can find out more and tune into the event online at survivorsofsuicide.org.au.

This event is an extraordinary event to mark the longest and coldest night of the year and commemorate those who have died by suicide and those who live with mental illness. Amanda is truly honoured to be invited, and to mark this important event, we are re-releasing a podcast memoir written and recorded a couple of years about Amanda's journey with bipolar, co-founding GetUp and creating the Sydney Alliance.

How can we hold together big ambition for social change on issues like climate alongside the small work required to build powerful connections across our diversity and difference? This piece explores the tensions of scale between big and small, fast and slow through stories and reflections across a life of organising. Our host Amanda Tattersall reads a memoir that she wrote for the Griffith Review in their August edition entitled Hey Utopia.

You can find the Griffith Review here: www.griffithreview.com/editions/hey-utopia/. and it is also here not behind a paywall.

You can download this episode on Apple, Spotify, LiSTNR, Stitcher, and all your other favourite podcast apps.
