Owen Barfield Society

Welcome to the channel of the Owen Barfield Society.

Here you'll find recordings of talks on the life and work of Owen Barfield: his thinking on language, imagination, poetry and the evolution of consciousness, and the questions he continues to raise for readers today.

Our first collection comes from the online conference Owen Barfield: Making It New, held on October 24, 2026, with scholars and writers from around the world, chaired by Dr. Jeffrey Hipolito. Each talk is a separate video, so you can watch what interests you and return to it.
