MAD TO BE NORMAL: THE WEST COAST PREMIERE
 
Gnosis Retreat Center and The California Institute of Integral Studies are proud to present the West Coast Premiere of Mad to be Normal, a biographical film about the controversial psychoanalyst R.D. Laing and his radical experiment in healing through community at Kingsley Hall. Dubbed an "acid-marxist" by the press, at the height of his fame Laing was the most popular psychoanalyst in the world. The film will also feature a panel discussion led by Michael Guy Thompson, Nita Gage, and Fritjof Capra, all of whom were close personal friends of Laing's. All proceeds from this event will go to Gnosis Retreat Center, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing shelter for people going through psychotic episodes.
