Amanda Lohrey – Pathways to compassion in a post-secular age

Saturday 25 March, 4-6 pm (AEDT Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra). Join us to hear celebrated author Amanda Lohrey talk on recovering a sense of the sacred in the post-secular world, and how this might help us cultivate compassion.

Amanda Lohrey writes non-fiction and fiction – from cultural observation (The Quarterly Essay : ‘Groundswell: The Rise of the Greens’ 2002) to novels such as The Labyrinth (Text Publishing 2020 – winner of the 2021 Miles Franklin Literary Award). Amanda has taught at various universities, has been a regular contributor to the Monthly magazine, and received the 2012 Patrick White Award.

This will be a hybrid event:
