CRAZYWISE Conversations
Personal Journeys of Transcendence and Healing
Psychosis and Spiritual Awakening
During the production of CRAZYWISE and since its release we have interviewed many individuals who have spoken of a profound feeling of connection to everyone and everything during their psychological crisis. Several who have successfully navigated their crisis have awakened to a deeper sense of compassion and empathy and found more meaning, purpose and direction in their lives.
Through personal interviews CRAZYWISE Conversations will continue where the film left off by exploring the transcendent and healing potential of a psychological crisis, as well as the factors that can make the experience fearful and disabling. We will also be exploring other transformative events individuals have experienced, or intentionally initiated, to help deepen their connection to themselves, their fellow beings, and the natural world.
We are extremely grateful to those who have courageously shared some of their most vulnerable moments to help us all understand how we can bring more compassion, meaning and purpose into our lives.
