An Evening with Gabor Maté

An Evening with Gabor Maté

Drawing on cutting-edge science and real-life stories, renowned physician Dr Gabor Maté will share his compassionate and humane approach to wellbeing. 

A revered expert in the psychology of addiction, a prize-winning author and the pioneer of an innovative understanding of human development that employs the lenses of science and compassion, Dr Gabor Maté is a singular figure in contemporary medicine.  

Renowned for his insights into the connections between mind and body, self and society, Dr Maté avoids glib self-help remedies, instead promoting self-understanding as the foundation of wellbeing and the first key to healing. 

Exploring the major insights of his life and career, from the role of trauma and emotional loss in the formation of addiction to the myth of ‘normal’ and the connection between personal suffering and the pressures of modern-day living, this live event will change how you see yourself, others and the world.


We may not be responsible for the way that the world creates our mind, but we can learn to take responsibility for the mind with which we create our world  – Gabor Maté
