Description
William Blake saw the world differently and he believed we could, too. His visions, symbols and prophecies were not only artistic expressions, but windows into the nature of the mind itself.
In this illuminating lecture, philosopher and psychotherapist Mark Vernon explores Blake’s inner world, examining how imagination shapes reality, how perception can be transformed and why Blake felt that ‘the mind itself is a universe.’
Drawing on Vernon’s work in Awake and contemporary psychology, this talk delves into Blake’s understanding of consciousness, vision and the human spirit. An accessible and richly insightful journey into one of literature’s most extraordinary minds.
