The Oxford Union
Sells Out Debate
12th November 2020
Emma has been invited to join a debate at the Oxford Union - the world's most prestigious debating society. - on the following subject:
This House Would Sell Out
“Are you law, consulting, or finance?” Every year, bright students ‘sell out’ to the City. Can the corporate world be a force for good, is the very notion of selling out an elitist one, or must we choose between money and morals?
Other Events and Workshops
Emma's TEDx Talk
“A powerful account of personal change, Emma used the framework of the Buddhist and yogic symbol of development; the lotus flower.
This flower begins its life in the mud at the bottom of a lake and grows upwards towards the light and the surface of the water where its petals open clear and bright.
She describes the events which encouraged her to become a nun and found a charity as an expression of her wish to put her prayers of compassion into action”
