Join Oryx Cohen, CEO of the National Empowerment Center, and South African Josh, diagnosed bipolar 1 with an MA in Theology, to unpack the gifts of Neurodiversity in an engaging and dynamic webinar.
Neurodiversity, as a subset of biodiversity, speaks to how our unique configurations of consciousness, including psychosis, have been created that way for a reason. The National Empowerment Center’s new online course called Neurodiversity Gifts applies the concept of Neurodiversity to the mental health community in a fresh way that moves far beyond biomedical models, and which has been shown to enhance meaning, purpose, and connection amongst the previously-unheard.
In this webinar we will take a Heroes’ Journey through diverse yet linked disciplines: depth psychology, quantum physics, anthropology, spirituality, and dream studies to weave the threads of a new but ancient cosmology that fosters the perspective of post-traumatic growth.
You’re invited to the roundtable, where we chart the terrain of this mental health paradigm-shift together. See you there!
