How do we live well in bodies that don’t make life easy? In Swimming the Seasons, Polly Atkin finds relief, freedom, and joy in year-round immersion in wild water. In Chronic, Gillian Best combines cutting-edge pain research with her own search for understanding. Together, they explore pain and disability, swimming and self-knowledge, and the possibilities of paying closer attention to body, mind, and the natural world. Chaired by Roxani Krystalli.
Supported by Beaverbrook Canadian Foundation and the High Commission of Canada in the United Kingdom
