We’re delighted to be putting on a screening of the excellent movie Crazywise at our alma mater, the CCPE.

The film was the toast of the festival circuit, and was an official selection at the 2017 Seattle Film Festival.

The documentary explores the links between psychosis and spiritual awakening through the traditional wisdom of indigenous cultures, and tracks the new movements across the world that are reframing mental health as a potentially transformative experience.

Exploring the growing severity of the US mental health crisis—dominated by biomedical psychiatry—the film discovers a growing movement of professionals and psychiatric survivors finding alternative treatments focusing on recovery, nurturing social connections and finding meaning.
