Overcoming Psychic Debilitation Models of Wellbeing in the Heritage Traditions 2019

The Consciousness & Culture Research Group (CCRG) fosters interdisciplinary dialogue among scholars and practitioners exploring consciousness studies, spirituality, psychology, and heritage healing traditions. The 2019 workshop at the University of Warwick, Overcoming Psychic Debilitation: Models of Wellbeing in Heritage Traditions, examined the mental health crisis among young people driven by neoliberal bio-politics. It contrasted mainstream medical models with alternative approaches rooted in Buddhist, Sikh, Hindu, and other traditions to address spiritual needs and re-capacitate minds and bodies debilitated by modern systems. The event critiqued the limitations of conventional mental health models dominated by pharmaceuticals and presented transformative alternatives rooted in Buddhist, Judaic, Sikh, Hindu, and indigenous traditions. By integrating spiritual techniques and heritage systems of healing, the workshop offered innovative frameworks for restoring wellness, addressing the mental vulnerabilities created by modern societal pressures. Presenters linked these traditions with their research to explore their potential for recapitulating bodies and minds, fostering resilience, and challenging systems of oppression.

This series highlights the importance of reintroducing spirituality and ancient wisdom into contemporary models of health and well-being.
