Fireside Chat - Memories and Reflections on Douglas Baker's life and work
Join the conversation as ex colleagues, former friends and students of Douglas Baker discuss his extraordinary journey as a visionary group leader whose multifaceted life spanned the worlds of science, esotericism, and education. Born in London in 1922 and raised in South Africa, Dr. Baker’s resilience was evident early on, overcoming personal loss and severe wartime injuries to pursue a remarkable education. He earned degrees in Arts and Medicine from the Universities of Natal, Cape Town, and Sheffield, showcasing his intellectual versatility.
Dr. Baker’s career was equally diverse: he founded a successful printing business, taught biology in London’s East End, and managed esoteric groups in South Africa and the United Kingdom. Renowned for his pioneering research in biomagnetism and radionics, he also established a prominent Harley Street clinic. His reputation as a powerful public speaker grew out of his extensive lecture tours across North America and Europe during the 1970s through to the 2000’s.
