Padma Chaplin for Kavel
Padma Chaplin is an Adelaide Hills local, artist and voice for animals, vulnerable people and nature.
She has a Diploma in Performance and Acting, and a Diploma in Theatre and Film from L’Ecole Florent, Paris, France. She is talented in songwriting, poetry and prose and uses these talents to engage the community in issues confronting our times.
Padma has also worked in small business, servicing Indigenous communities throughout Australia. She is also passionate about volunteering for organisations that align with causes she supports. Padma has worked extensively with children and has been a life-long volunteer for organisations such as children’s overseas sponsorship programmes and refugee groups, and she currently volunteers at a sanctuary for farmed animals and ex-racehorses.
Her philosophy has been centred in her Buddhist practice of mindfulness meditation that spontaneously engenders compassion for all beings and the wisdom needed to bring about a happier and prosperous society that does not wilfully destroy life.
As a resident in the Adelaide Hills rural areas, she is keenly aware of the need for the state to support plant-based agriculture both in its importance as local food security, in the mental well-being and health of farming families and the prevention of loss of farms due to the encroachment of housing estates that threaten productivity as well as our fauna.
Padma believes that our resilience and success for survival in the future will depend upon our ability to adapt to climate change. This means a fearless commitment to radical change into a plant-based diet. She is ready and focused to bring about government support that will foster rapid transitions in farming away from harmful institutions.
