About the teacher
Gabor Maté
Gabor Maté worked for decades as a physician, including in addiction medicine, before turning to writing and public speaking on trauma, stress and the mind-body connection, in books such as The Myth of Normal and In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts. His framework draws substantially on Buddhist psychology's understanding of suffering and attachment, alongside Western medicine.
He keeps a large-venue speaking tour through 2026, including stops in Oakland, Denver, Seattle and Pasadena in April, a show at Eventim Apollo in London on 13 September, workshops, and a seven-day retreat in the Adriatic in October.
“Trauma is not what happens to you but what happens inside you.”Gabor Maté
