Robert Sheehan - How Meditation Brought Me Back To Life

A search for inner calm in a world that feels increasingly unstable is a quest many of us strive for, and a quest which Irish actor Robert Sheehan documents with beauty in his memoir ‘Playing Dead’.

A celebrated actor, podcaster and author, Robert is renowned for his breakout role in the hit TV show Misfits and his ongoing role in the award-winning show The Umbrella Academy.

As co-host of The Earth Locker podcast, Robert enjoys exploring the universals of the human condition and what it means to live a better life.

He is the author of a short story collection, Disappearing Act, and his memoir Playing Dead.

In this talk with the actor, he explores his latest book in which he shares intimate and playful reflections on his search for purpose, looking back at the adventures – and misadventures – of his life so far, and sharing the profoundly transformative lessons he has learnt along the way.

Through stories, memories and his musings on fame, we will learn how spirituality for Robert has become an anchor in the constant moving tide.

Learn how to welcome a practice of meditation into your own life, with tools for soothing your nervous system and focusing a fretful mind.

In a world where our attention is constantly up for grabs, Playing Dead shows how we can give our souls the deep rest we crave.

There will be an audience Q&A and a guided meditation to finish the evening.
