Vision Beyond Sight: Blindness, Touch & Enterprise

With Rebecca Lake

Join us at socialbar for an evening with Rebecca Lake and her story of building a working life after losing her sight.

Originally trained as a chartered physiotherapist, Rebecca lost her sight in 2008 and later established her own hands-on practice in Ipswich. Her work is shaped by touch, closeness and a deep attunement to the body, inviting us to think differently about perception, presence and how we come to understand the world.

At the heart of the evening is Rebecca’s recent writing, Observations of a Blind Girl, a biographical work that opens onto a life of care, endurance and determination: raising four children, making a living and finding new ways forward when the old map has gone. From there, the conversation will widen into the deeper themes her life touches: perception, adaptation, work, independence and the strange and subtle intelligence of the senses.
