The New School presents: Online "CRAZYWISE" Film Screening & Panel with Dr. Gabor Maté and Phil Borges
N/A
February 2, 2022
CrazyâŠor wise? The traditional wisdom of indigenous cultures often contradicts modern views about a mental health crisis. Is it a âcallingâ to grow or just a âbroken brainâ? The documentary CRAZYWISE explores what can be learned from people around the world who have turned their psychological crisis into a positive transformative experience.
Joined by the Director of CRAZYWISE, Phil Borges, and renowned mental health professional Gabor MatĂ©, MD, the event will include a screening of CRAZYWISE followed by a panel session. The panel will explore finding meaning through suffering, how indigenous cultures identify âpsychoticâ symptoms as an indicator of shamanic potential, and the growing severity of the mental health crisis in America dominated by biomedical psychiatry.
Note: If you have seen CRAZYWISE, and would like to attend the panel session only please register and join the panel starting at 2 PM EST.
