At ACE Aware Scotland, we are keen to help as many people as possible understand why relationships are so essential in our lives as human beings.  Our 2025 Conference brings together six international speakers who can help us all dive deeply into this idea.  The desire for belonging resides not just in our hearts or heads, but in our very biology.

Many of you have written to us to say how keen you are to learn from these thinkers, most of who have never been to Scotland before.

So we thought:  Why wait?  We can get started now!  All of the speakers have books out!  Why not get started now, creating a space where attendees can meet together to talk about those books?

In the six months countdown to May 2025, we are going to host monthly online Book Groups.  Each one will cover a book written by one of the speakers.  We’ll meet online on the last Tuesday of every month, for a conversation led by Dr Suzanne Zeedyk.

Participation in the Book Groups is available and FREE to anyone who has a ticket to the 2025 event.  You are welcome to come to one or come to them all.  It doesn’t matter if you read the whole book or only a few chapters or even if life was so busy you never quite managed to open the book at all.  We’re just keen to make it easy for participants to gather in a space where they can put their curiosity and energy into action as we count down to this major Scottish event in May 2025.

Here are the books we’ll be covering, so feel free to acquire yourself a copy.  Sign up for all the sessions you wish, and we will send you a link as the event draws near.

We can’t wait to meet you and start chatting.  See you soon!
