Paul Thorn Live

Starting Again

What I've learned about surviving life's biggest changes.

What happens when you survive something you were certain would kill you?

Paul Thorn tells the story of a life shaped by HIV, AIDS, TB, activism, addiction, recovery, relationships, loss and reinvention.

It is an honest, personal and sometimes unexpected story about survival — but more importantly, about what happens afterwards.

Paul brings together decades of lived experience, writing, broadcasting and activism to explore how we deal with change, adversity and the challenge of starting again.

The talks can be adapted for different audiences and events.
