CHOOSE THE RIGHT GOALS,
FINISH WHAT YOU START,
HONOR YOUR CREATIVITY,
AND MAKE TIME FOR WHAT MATTERS TO YOU

Meaningful Time-Management is for those who want to feel fulfillment not just achievement. It’s for those who love the idea of working for what you believe in, taking action to make a change in the world, but want to get rid of the idea that you have to sacrifice yourself, your mental health, or your other desires and hobbies to do it. This is for folks who feel so scattered they don’t know where to start (interested in too many things!!) and for those who know in their heart there’s something big they are here to do.

It’s for the dreamers and the realists to find balance in the in-betweens.

Ritual Transforms Us
Vulnerability Heals Us
Movement Frees Us

Even in times of uncertainty our power stems from being able to show up for ourselves, reclaim all of the beautiful subtleties, our reasons for being here, our purpose, or messy human paths we wander. None of us have to do it alone. We are stronger when we allow ourselves to move through cycles and attune to our innate creativity within a community of those who believe in our capacity to transform.

We gather to ritualize our anger, transform our pain, get connected with the parts of us that need us to show up fully as our own healer, our own temple, our own authority.

Each month the theme of our ceremony will change. September’s full moon brings with it the air of integration. At a time of seasonal transition, we are between past and future, letting go of grief and stepping into the unknown. We will be working with the parts of ourselves that have been shunned, shamed, or silenced to show them the compassion they need for us to live into our fullest expression.

Activities:

• Opening Ritual

• Sharing Circle

• Healing Meditation

• Embodied Movement

• Closing the Circle

Who is welcome?

All genders welcome. LGBTQIA+ friendly. We believe healing can’t be separate from tearing down systems of patriarchy, white supremacy, and heteronormativity, because healing is about justice and liberation. We’re into figuring out messily what that means together. You down? Great! Join us.

Price & Accessibility

The system we live and work within doesn’t make it easy for most of us to get what we need. I believe everyone should be able to attend healing events as a basic form of care. I also believe that those who do emotional/nurturance work can’t be paid enough for what we do. Holding both of these as true, I do my best to honor this work while offering accessible options. If the subsidized cost is prohibitive to you - don’t hesitate to email me.

TIME: 10:00AM-4:00PM
LOCATION: 17 BATTERY PL. NEW YORK, NY 10004

In our current mental health system, being diagnosed with a ‘psychotic disorder’ or ‘schizophrenia’ is akin to a life sentence of medication and/or inpatient treatment. However, extreme and altered states of consciousness (experiences such as visions, trance states, unusual beliefs, altered realities, voice hearing, intense elation, etc.) have not always been pathologized and labeled as serious mental illnesses to be treated with intensive medical intervention. Altered states can be ecstatic, blissful, and peaceful; they can also be traumatic, disruptive, and frightening. Almost always, extreme states have the potential to be revolutionary, generative, and meaningful for individuals and mark profound effects for one’s life, well-being, and future.

Current treatments for what is often labeled ‘psychosis’ are invasive and often cause further harm and isolation to both the individual and their family. Although evidence-based support (including psychotherapy) for individuals who experience altered states are virtually non-existent in the U.S., early interventions do exist and have proven radically effective for supporting individuals in leading full and autonomous lives. Such interventions are generally delivered in community settings, and engaged both the family and social networks to address the experience holistically.

This session will introduce participants to alternative frameworks for understanding altered states and experiences often labeled 'psychosis' through the lens of lived experience and network-based therapies. We offer a variety of strategies for providers to support others through the often difficult process of navigating these experiences, engaging with the personal and cultural narratives attached to them, and the process of making meaning from these experiences.

We will explore:

• Generative and non-pathologizing models, such as spiritual emergency, post-traumatic growth, and human potential

• Strategies and tools for working with individuals who are experiencing altered states to help them feel safe, supported, autonomous, and capable of wellness.

• The complex intersections of culture, race, history and mental health, as they intersect with altered states and the diagnostic categories of 'psychosis' and 'schizophrenia' 

• Learning strategies for collaboratively navigating the cultural embeddedness of support, diagnosis, and explanatory frameworks used to describe altered states.

This class is part of a larger mental health continuing education course series:

Experience Transforms Practice:

A Course on Liberatory Mental Health Care

OFFERED: FALL 2018 - SPRING 2019

October 20th 2018

TIME: 10:00AM-4:00PM
LOCATION: 17 BATTERY PL. NEW YORK, NY 10004

Mental health in New York City -- and the United States at large -- is in a state of crisis. Contemporary practice is driven by a dated paradigm that reduces mental health conditions to disorders of the brain, while erasing the numerous other factors that impact our mental health (e.g. trauma, adverse life experiences, socio-economic status, social exclusion, discrimination, and lack of access to important resources). As a recent report by a UN Special Rapporteur indicates, the prevailing biomedical model has contributed to the exclusion, neglect, coercion, and abuse of those who experience mental distress, while showing few positive results to justify its measures.

For at least three decades, organized movements led by current and former users of mental health services have played a critical role in calling attention to the failures of traditional mental health services to meet their needs and secure their rights. However narratives driven by those of us lived experience have not yet reached a critical mass. Today, many researchers and clinicians are beginning to understand the complexity of factors that influence mental health outcomes, and are calling to reform the way we diagnose and treat individuals.

There is a push to promote an overall narrative of mental health that addresses contextual determinants, empowers rights holders, fosters independence, eliminates stigma, and gives a voice to current and prior mental health service users. As we apply a critical lens to the “medicate and separate” institutional model, and promote new frameworks for understanding mental health, we create the potential to produce a mental health system that will truly make a difference in the lives of those it seeks to serve.

This class will explore:

• An overview of the political and social landscape that bolstered the biopsychiatry model from the 1980s until now

• The widespread impacts of big pharma, the marketing of psychotropic medication, and cultural reforms in response

• Alternative frameworks for understanding mental health (e.g. social, trauma-informed, and generative)

• A brief history of the mad movement and human rights reform in mental health

• The power of lived experience and listening to the voices of survivors of trauma and adversity.
