Being Human Festival: What is 'Healing' in the twenty-first century?
Chronic conditions are increasing; how might healing help us live well throughout our lives?
Is healing the same as curing? Is healing the restoration of previous physical, mental or spiritual health? Is healing a process that enables us to flourish even with long-term illnesses? And what of the miraculous? Can we speak, even, of dying healed? A panel of experts from the areas of Medicine, Psychology, Spirituality and Culture will explore and debate this rich topic.
