Mind Circles Talks: Play – The Meaning of Life with Kimmy Edwards

Mind Circles Talks: Play – The Meaning of Life with Kimmy Edwards

Join us this October for a special edition of Mind Circles Talks, hosted in collaboration with The Applied Neuroscience Association and the King’s College London Women Entrepreneurs Network. This session explores the science and philosophy of play – and why it might be the most serious work we ever do.

Kimmy Edwards, human performance specialist, draws from neuroscience, sport, art and coaching to show how play shapes how we think, solve problems, build resilience, and create meaning.

October's event goes beyond the usual talk format. Alongside Kimmy’s session, we’re joined by global leads from The Applied Neuroscience Association for an interactive roundtable on brain health, skills, and the future of work.

You’ll leave with new ways to think about performance, purpose, and how we thrive in complex times.

• 19:00 Doors Open
• 19:00–19:15 Welcome and Introductions
