About
What happens when the mountains become more than somewhere to climb? When they become somewhere to heal?
Kelvyn James is a mountaineer, author and founder of the national charity Wellness Walks. But behind a lifetime of adventure lies a very different story.
Following a childhood marked by violence, the murder of his mother and his own battles with trauma and depression, Kelvyn found himself searching for reasons to love life again.
His book, Walking out of the Dark, is an unflinchingly honest account of that journey. From the darkest moments of his life to the wild beauty of the mountains, he discovered that the greatest adventures aren't always about reaching summits, but about the people we meet and the lives we change along the way.
Join Kelvyn for a moving, uplifting and occasionally humorous conversation about mountains, mental health, love, loss and finding light in unexpected places.
Tickets: £5 per person.
