SUMMARY:Talks: AuDHD & Women: Exploring gender bias in neurodivergence
DESCRIPTION:Discover how AuDHD uniquely presents in women in this insightful and neuroaffirming talk. Followed by Q&A. \n\n\n\n\nFor many years\, Autism and ADHD could not be diagnosed together\, with one diagnosis excluding the other. We now know that the two are deeply connected\, with up to 60% of Autistic people also experiencing ADHD. Yet despite growing awareness\, many women continue to be overlooked\, misunderstood\, or misdiagnosed due to outdated assumptions and gender bias. \nThis talk explores the complex reality of AuDHD – not simply having both Autism and ADHD\, but navigating the constant internal “tug of war” between two often conflicting neurotypes. Drawing on current research and lived experience\, we’ll explore topics including masking\, burnout and Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria. \nTaking a neuroaffirming approach throughout\, this talk offers practical insights and supportive strategies to help women better understand themselves\, recognise their strengths\, and advocate for the support they deserve. \nDoors open at 7pm\, talk starts at 7:30pm – come down early to grab a good seat! \nFollow us on IG @seedtalks \nSpeaker Bio: \nDr Emilie Moorhead (DClinPsych\, CPsychol\, BSc) is a Clinical Psychologist with nearly two decades of clinical experience working with Neurodivergent people. She is a Registered Practitioner Psychologist with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and Chartered Clinical Psychologist with the British Psychological Society (BPS). Dr Moorhead runs her own successful Psychology practice\, This Is Me Psychology\, which specialises in supporting Neurodivergent people to gain the best possible understanding of themselves. She adopts a neuro-affirming approach\, helping Neurodivergent people to recognise the strengths and values that they have to enable them to embrace their full potential. She strongly believes that everybody should be able to access Neurodivergent support in a proactive and preventative manner\, without needing to reach crisis point first. \nDr Moorhead has also worked in a range of NHS and private mental health services\, including Clinical Lead at two specialist Neurodiversity Services. She works with individuals across the lifespan. She is a guest lecturer on a number of University courses\, specialising in Neurodivergent conditions and post-diagnostic support.

SUMMARY:Music: Heathen Apostles
DESCRIPTION:Live music coming to Bristol. \nBorn of the voices of past lives and baptized in the dust bowl dirt\, the Gothic Americana music of the Heathen Apostles harkens back to a bygone chapter of American history. Using contrasting influences such as Bauhaus\, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds and The Pogues along with Howlin’ Wolf\, Loretta Lynn (the band covers her classic Fist City) and Bessie Smith\, the Heathen Apostles have created a style of music that at once conjurs both angels and demons\, and will enlighten a darkened soul. \nCrossing paths at a gathering one Indian summer evening\, femme fatale bellower Mather Louth (Radio Noir) and rock n roll veteran Chopper Franklin (The Cramps\, Mau Maus\, Nick Curran & the Lowlifes) quickly uncovered a mutual appreciation for murder balladry\, Americana\, and memento mori. It was not long before a collaboration that sought to marry these interests in a sonic landscape\, the Heathen Apostles\, surfaced. The landscape was further tilled with the addition of Luis Mascaro on violin. \nTheir 7 albums – Boot Hill Hymnal (2013)\, Fire to the Fuse (2015)\, Requiem For a Remix (2016)\, Bloodgrass Vol. 1 & 2 (2018)\, Dust To Dust (2019) Bloodgrass Vol. 3 & 4 (2022) and The In Between (2024) – along with their many EPs and singles (their release The Fall was named Best EP of 2018 by Folk n Rock magazine)\, capture the essence of the Heathen Apostles modus operandi: Southern Gothic Americana imagery surrounded by haunting\, minor-chord melodies\, musical influences including Gothic Roots music\, Bluegrass\, Blues\, and Gypsy Jazz\, all deftly bound together by the band’s dark and sometimes brooding sense of a bygone age. \nLearn more about the Heathen Apostles here:\nHeathen Apostles | Gothic Americana Music Heathen Apostles\n\n  \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nExclusive offer for all Hen & Chicken event ticket holders – August 2026.\n\n25% off your food bill when you reserve a table in our  bar /restaurant\nWhen you book a table and enjoy dinner in our restaurant\, we reserve great seats for you\, ready for the performance\, so you can skip the queue and relax while enjoying your meal. \n\nPlease make your dinner reservation under the same name you used to book your tickets. \n\n*Does not include a ticket to your chosen event.

SUMMARY:Talk: The Psychology of Possession & Exorcism
DESCRIPTION:Explore the science behind possession\, exorcism\, and why our brains conjure the paranormal. Followed by Q&A. \n\n\n\nMillions of people around the world – including in the UK today – believe that spirits or demons can take over a living person’s body. But neuroscience tells a very different story. So if a demonic possession isn’t real\, what’s actually going on? \nIt turns out that there’s no single answer. Some historical demonic “possessions” were likely undiagnosed conditions like epilepsy or Tourette’s. Others look remarkably like phenomena we recognise today – dissociative identity disorder\, hypnosis\, speaking in tongues. Then there are the darker cases: possession used as a label against vulnerable people\, with devastating results. This talk unpacks the science\, the psychology\, and the genuinely strange space where belief and the brain collide. \nDoors open at 7pm\, talk starts at 7:30pm – come down early to grab a good seat! \nSpeaker Bio: \nChris French is Emeritus Professor of Psychology at Goldsmiths\, University of London\, where he founded the Anomalistic Psychology Research Unit — dedicated to understanding why humans have paranormal experiences\, and what’s really behind them. He’s a Fellow of the British Psychological Society and the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry\, and a Patron of Humanists UK. He’s published more than 200 articles and book chapters\, and is a regular contributor to the Guardian and Skeptic magazine. \nHe frequently appears on radio (Curious Cases\, All in the Mind\, Uncanny\, Today\, PM) and television (Newsnight\, BBC Breakfast\, The Big Questions) casting a sceptical eye over paranormal claims. He has also given talks on a wide range of such topics both nationally (the Royal Institution\, New Scientist Live) and internationally (Europe\, Australia\, Taiwan\, USA). His most recent book is The science of weird shit: Why our minds conjure the paranormal\, published by MIT Press in 2024. \n\n  \nLearn more about Seed Talks events here: Seed Talks | Fascinating lectures in relaxed spaces \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n25% off your food bill when you reserve a table in our  bar /restaurant\nWhen you book a table and enjoy dinner in our restaurant\, we reserve great seats for you\, ready for the performance\, so you can skip the queue and relax while enjoying your meal. \n\nPlease make your dinner reservation under the same name you used to book your tickets. \n\n*Does not include a ticket to your chosen event.

SUMMARY:Talk: The Queer History of Magic\, Myth & Legends
DESCRIPTION:Explore queer myths\, monsters and magic – from vampires to mermaids – and discover what they reveal about gender and sexuality. With Q&A. \n\n\n\n\nHave you ever been to a Pride Parade? \nYou’ll often see a glorious display of papier-mâché unicorn heads\, drag queens in mermaid tails and more fairy wings than you can shake a trident at. But these aren’t just accessories –  they’re queer symbols with deep historic roots. To truly understand who queer people are today\, we must confront the twisted tales of the past. \nMonsters and magic have always played a central role in LGBTQ+ history. Queer people have long been overrepresented among storytellers\, magicians\, spiritualists\, and those who reinvent fairytales and myths. From the literary vampire to Disney’s The Little Mermaid\, and from ancient Syria to the mainstage of RuPaul’s Drag Race\, these stories span time and place – and they reveal more than just fantastical worlds. So\, what can these queer myths and magical creatures teach us about gender\, desire\, and who we are today? \nDoors open at 7 pm\, talk starts at 7.30 pm – come down early to grab a good seat! \nLearn more about your host\, Seed Talks here:https://www.seedtalks.co.uk/  \nSpeaker Bio: \nSacha Coward has worked in museums and heritage for over fifteen years. For the past eight years\, he has been freelancing as a historian\, public speaker\, tour guide and researcher. He has run LGBTQ+ focused tours for museums\, cemeteries\, archives and cities around the world. Sacha is passionate about queer history\, mythology\, folklore and storytelling in all their many forms. Queer As folklore is his first book published with Manchester University Press. \n\n\n  \n25% off your food bill when you reserve a table in our  bar /restaurant\nWhen you book a table and enjoy dinner in our restaurant\, we reserve great seats for you\, ready for the performance\, so you can skip the queue and relax while enjoying your meal. \n\nPlease make your dinner reservation under the same name you used to book your tickets. \n\n*Does not include a ticket to your chosen event.
