David Lorimer’s Guest today is his old friend and long-time colleague Dr Peter Fenwick who is Emeritus Consultant Neuropsychiatrist, Maudsley Hospital and Emeritus Senior Lecturer at the Institute of Psychiatry. His other appointments included Consultant Neurophysiologist at St. Thomas’s, Westminster and Broadmoor Hospitals. For ten years he was a Trustee of the Prince of Wales Foundation for Integrated Health. He is Emeritus President of the Scientific and Medical Network and former Chair of the Board of The Study Society. He is one of the world’s foremost authorities on the dying process and is the author, with his wife Elizabeth, of many books on consciousness and death, including The Art of Dying and his autobiography Shining Light on Transcendence.
Imaginal Inspirations is hosted by David Lorimer, Programme Director of the Scientific and Medical Network and Chair of the Galileo Commission, an academic movement dedicated to expanding the evidence base of a science of consciousness. Imaginal cells are responsible for the metamorphosis of the caterpillar into a butterfly, which is the Greek symbol for the soul. These cells are dormant in the caterpillar but at a critical point of development they create the new form and structure which becomes the butterfly.
