Explore the profound connections between our brains, bodies and the natural environment in this thought-provoking lecture with Dr James Bashford. Challenging the conventional separation between human health and nature, Bashford invites participants to reconsider how our nervous, immune, sensory, metabolic and cellular systems develop through continuous interaction with our surroundings.
Drawing on research from his book Nature Within: How the Natural World Shapes Our Minds, Bodies & Health, this evening examines an organism-first perspective on wellbeing. The speaker will address how rethinking the boundaries between ourselves and the world around us might reshape our understanding of public health and human flourishing.
The session includes ample time for questions and discussion, concluding with an informal networking opportunity where the conversation continues around a shared question posed to all attendees. Available both in-person and online.
