****I can disagree with your opinion… but I can’t disagree with your experience. Once I have a sense of your experience, you and I are in relationship**** – Krista Tippett

We want to create community and support for all of us who’ve experienced madness as having significant spiritual significance. Whether we’ve been psychiatrized or not and whether we’ve considered madness in terms of the psychiatric labeling or not. That would include anyone labeled with psychosis, schizophrenia, bipolar, schizoaffective, or psychotic NOS. That would also include anyone who has had experience with altered states that have not been pathologized by psychiatry, by self or others. Perhaps by naturally delving deep in meditation or with the aid of psychedelic drugs or practices like holotropic breathing. Basically anyone who has experienced altered states and resonates with what we are doing are welcome.

Did your altered states have spiritual significance or might you be interested in considering how that lens might be applied? Then you’re welcome. sign up on our email list that we might commune together.

So – I’ve been thinking a lot about how we’re going to bring radically different perspectives and experiences from the mental health worlds and beyond together for our project Mad Spiritual. Here are some of my musings.

More on inclusivity and diversity in a world fraught with division:

To be or not to be on psych meds https://beyondmeds.com/…/to-those-who-…/
Psych drugs kill vs Psych drugs save lives. What if both are true? – https://beyondmeds.com/…/psych-drugs-k…/

Nature vs nurture, biological vs. psychological: how about both/and rather than either/or https://beyondmeds.com/…/nature-vs-nur…/

The emotional, physical, mental, spiritual, social, political and ecological…(must be viewed as a whole if we hope to heal) – https://beyondmeds.com/…/emotional-phy…/

A Message To Those Labeled By Psychiatry

I finally got to the woods to do this. On May 13th I did a short 27 second minute (hand-held) video very close by to this one.  I've been wanting to get back there since and have not had the physical well-being to do so. It's taken a bit over 2 months to pull it off, but it's finally here. This one is 13 minutes long since Paul fashioned a little camera/phone holding device that I was able to sit on a stone. Thirteen minutes means it's a short meditation.   video here: https://youtu.be/bcaRppZ-BL0

(can we still offer free downloads with a free soundcloud account? I couldn't figurer out how and wanted to do that. if anyone knows how let me know and I'll change the setting.)
