Sascha Altman Dubrul, co-founder of The Icarus Project, a radical community support network that's actively redefining language and culture of mental health and illness. Sascha is the author of "Maps to the Other Side: The Adventures of a Bipolar Cartographer", one person's odyssey to transform his experiences navigating the psychiatric system by building community in the face of adversity; a set of maps for how rebels and dreamers can survive and thrive in a crazy world. This interactive discussion will help capture your imagination and shift perceptions of mental illness/wellness with the power of collective transformation.
