Dr Larry Culliford on - A Psychiatrist's Quest for Mental Health and Wellbeing
Tickets: £5
Booking: via EVENTBRIGHT
HERE
Larry's early life and training, first as a GP, then a psychiatrist, propelled
him towards seeking and understanding supreme mental health, not only for
himself but for everyone. Discovering a spiritual dimension to emotional growth
and wellbeing was part of that highly fruitful endeavour, aspects of which he
will share in his lecture. For Larry, wisdom is sacred knowledge, the knowledge
of how to be and behave for the best, for all concerned, moment by moment, in
any given situation. Wisdom ultimately involves a person feeling deeply a
seamless connectedness with everyone else, nature, the planet and the cosmos,
giving spontaneous rise to compassion, humility, awe and wonder. In this talk
he will explore the lessons that come from his own journey towards wisdom
through childhood suffering and trauma to happiness and well-being.
In 1999, Larry Culliford
co-founded the Spirituality and Psychiatry Special
Interest Group within the Royal College of Psychiatry. He is the author of
numerous influential articles and books, including The Psychology of
Spirituality, Happiness - A 30-day Guide, and Love, Healing and Happiness:
Spiritual wisdom for secular times. His recent autobiography Happy as Larry,
short-listed for the Selfies Memoir Awards 2026, has been praised highly,
including a detailed commendation from HH the Dalai Lama.
