Psychosis, Spiritual Awakening, or Shamanic Initiation? Crazy…or wise? The traditional wisdom of indigenous cultures often contradicts modern views about a mental health crisis. Is it a ‘calling’ to grow and heal the community or just a ‘broken brain’? The documentary CRAZYWISE explores what can be learned from people around the world who have turned their psychological crisis into a positive transformative experience.
Thursday August 10th from 7:00-9:30 pm (doors open at 6:30, film at 7pm) @ The Lab, 2948 16th St, San Francisco (one block from 16th street BART station) Suggested donation of $10/ no one will be turned away for lack of funds |
