An Evening with Dr. Peter Gray - Special Saturday Event
Join us for an enlightening and thought-provoking evening with renowned psychologist and author Dr. Peter Gray, as he explores the vital connection between play, autonomy, and mental health in his compelling talk, Mother Nature’s Prescription for Mental Wellbeing: The Power of Play and Other Self-Directed Activity.
In this engaging presentation, Dr. Gray will draw from decades of research in developmental and evolutionary psychology to illustrate how free play and self-directed learning are not luxuries, but essential components of healthy emotional and cognitive development. With increasing rates of anxiety, depression, and burnout—particularly among children and young adults—Dr. Gray offers a timely and evidence-based perspective on how returning to nature’s blueprint for learning and living can help restore balance and joy in our lives.
Whether you're a parent, educator, mental health professional, or simply someone interested in human development, this evening promises to challenge assumptions, inspire new thinking, and highlight practical steps we can take to support wellbeing through autonomy, curiosity, and play.
