BIO David Lorimer

David Lorimer, MA, PGCE, FRSA, is a visionary thinker whose life’s work reflects a deep commitment to the integration of wisdom, science, and the human spirit. Once a merchant banker, he followed an inner calling that led him to education, teaching philosophy and modern languages at Winchester College, and later dedicating his life to exploring consciousness, ethics, and the sacred dimensions of life.

David is Programme Director and Global Ambassador of the Scientific and Medical Network, Chair of the Galileo Commission, and Editor of Paradigm Explorer. His mission is to help expand the frontiers of science by fostering dialogue between empirical research and spiritual insight. His many books—including Survival?, Resonant Mind, and A Quest for Wisdom—offer reflections on life, death, and what it means to be fully human.

He has translated and edited works by the Bulgarian mystic Beinsa Douno and brings a poetic sensitivity to everything he does, including his own recent poetry collection, Better Light a Candle. A Fellow of the International Futures Forum and founder of Character Scotland, David is driven by a quiet conviction: that a wiser, more compassionate world begins with courageous conversation, deep listening, and a renewed sense of purpose.
