You are warmly invited to join us at Regent College for the 2023 Laing Lectures. Psychiatrist, speaker, and author Curt Thompson MD will deliver two lectures on the topic of “Practicing for Heaven: Neuroscience and the Beauty, Trauma & Renewal of All Things.”

Curt Thompson MD connects our intrinsic desire to be known with the need to tell truer stories about ourselves and shows us how to form deep relationships, discover meaning, and live integrated and creative lives.

With a keen instinct for making complex topics relatable, Dr. Thompson integrates the science of interpersonal neurobiology with Christian anthropology to help us re-establish and deepen our relationships—leading to healthier, more meaningful lives. By combining his deep insights into how brain function affects our connections with one another with practical methods for application, he helps us break free from old patterns that no longer serve us to start us on the journey toward purposeful living.

Schedule:
Wednesday, Mar 8 at 7:30–9 pm | Lecture 1 + Q&A
Thursday, Mar 9 at 11:30 am–1 pm | Interview and Q&A (onsite only)
Thursday, Mar 9 at 7:30–9 pm | Lecture 2 + Q&A

The Laing Lectures will be hosted and moderated by Paul Spilsbury, Academic Dean and Professor of New Testament at Regent College. Regent's Research Professor of Theology and the Arts, Iwan Russell-Jones, will conduct the interview with Dr. Thompson.
