Book Briefing
The Book Briefing is a monthly online conversation with leading authors whose work explores the evolving relationship between science, consciousness, spirituality, and human flourishing.
Join David Lorimer, Programme Director of the Scientific and Medical Network and editor of Paradigm Explorer, as he explores with each author the ideas behind their book, their personal journey, and the deeper questions their work raises about our understanding of mind, healing, ethics, and the future of human development.
Hosted by: David Lorimer
The next Book Briefing is with: Stephanie Mines
Thursday, 21 May 2026
6:00–7:00 PM (UK) • Online
In this Book Briefing, David Lorimer is joined by Stephanie Mines to explore The Spirit of Manaaki, a profound encounter with the living wisdom of Māori elder Maata Wharehoka. Weaving together Indigenous knowledge, healing practices, and stories of resilience, Mines reveals a worldview rooted in care, reciprocity, and connection to the Earth. The conversation opens a reflective space on how ancestral insight can guide responses to trauma, loss, and the challenges of our time.
