This eye-opening workshop dispels the westernized myth that one who experiences “hallucinations” or hears voices is solely pathological.

Sick or Gifted?: Bridging the Connections between Mental Illness & Spiritual Gifts, identifies historical factors and modern data that many of those who have suffered from visions, hearing voices, and ultra-sensitivities to environments and emotions; state that their experiences are spiritually connected. In traditional societies, when one has these experiences they are taken in by a spiritual leader or a shaman of their community and are taught how to use their gifts as a way to heal others. Versus western medicine that tells you that you are sick and not normal. One of the most important implications of the research of these states is the realization that many of the conditions, which are currently diagnosed as psychotic and indiscriminately treated, are actually difficult stages of a radical personality transformation and of spiritual opening.

If they are looked at through a different lens by understanding and support, these psychospiritual crises can result in emotional healing, remarkable transformation, and conscious evolution. Participants will learn about how traditional methods of healing like meditation & shamanism have transformed those who are suffering from mental illness. They will also learn about my personal journey of recovery during a psychospiritual crisis by using ancient healing techniques first hand.
