Otro plan chulo es el viernes 12 de enero en La Maliciosa a las 19h. Estarán Fernando Balius y Paula Mejías en este conversatorio sobre la escucha de voces, donde presentarán el cómic Desmesura editado con Bellaterra y el libro "Las voces que no escuchamos", editado con La Revolución Delirante. Un planazo para pensar sobre salud mental con mirada crítica, desde la experiencia personal y más allá del modelo biomédico.

CW: cross-cultural spirituality, religion in china, cultural anthropology, hearing voices
i'm listening to an interview with a chinese ufologist (don't even ask) and the interviewer is coming from a western perspective. so when the interviewee says that he initially thought that he was receiving communication from "ascended masters" or some other spirits, the interviewer was shocked. she was like.. "how did you know to even consider that?? i thought there was tight control over religion in china.."
does she assume that because there's "no religion" in china that there's no spirituality?
i'm not sure if the interviewee understood what she was asking. he was basically like "yes, i thought i was getting communication from spirits," whereas she wanted to know how he could even ~imagine~ such a thing since "there's no religion in china."
anyway, because i'm a schmuck, i posted a link to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_folk_religion and basically said like...just because it's a "communist country" and there's "no religion", there are still very widespread spiritual practices that are like thousands of years old. they got spirits, demons, and all kinds of heavens and hells. so yea.
anyway, if i'm way off-base here, someone please correct my understanding.

CW: Mental Health, Stigma, and Hearing Voices
This is from a couple of years ago but still very relevant...
#Stigma is one of the most intransigent barriers to #MentalHealth care. I had the pleasure to contribute to this inspiring NBCNews feature addressing #HearingVoices and #Stigma. Please share.
