Past events have explored fascinating topics like the gut-brain connection with Harriet Schellekens, the neuroscience of music with Shane Cassidy, the art history of Studio Ghibli with Helen McCarthy, and trauma and the body with Dr Megan Klabunde. We've also delved into the science of psychedelics with Dr David Luke, the psychology of Carl Jung with Dr Mathew Mather, intergenerational trauma with Jane Mulcahy PhD, mind-body healing with Dr David Hamilton, the psychology of narcissism with Dr Kostas Papageorgiou, and even the psychology of psychopaths. Whether you're based in the city centre, over in Douglas or Ballincollig, or coming from Cobh or County Cork, there's always something here to spark your curiosity.

We bring in leading experts who are genuinely passionate about making their subjects accessible to everyone - think university professors, clinical psychologists, neuroscientists, and cultural historians who really know their stuff.
