Keynote Speaker:  Dr. Reef Karim

Dr. Reef Karim shares his pattern interrupt of how to elevate the human experience by shifting our energy, expanding our creative vision, and discovering our innate existential DNA, with the Madness Movement.

In reimagining mental health from the perspective of energy, creative vision, and existentialism, we will never look at the word MADNESS the same again.

It takes a little energy to live.

It takes a lot more energy to live the life you want.

 

THE THREE TYPES OF MADNESS

ENVIRONMENT MADNESS
Our environment madness is the madness out there. The stress, fear, tech overstimulation, social comparison, validation seeking, divided attention, decision fatigue, ads preying on our vulnerability, corporate influence, and how our environment can alter our health functioning. It’s the culmination of living in an often toxic culture and not protecting our innate energy. Our environmental madness influences our mind, the decisions we make, and the life we lead. We can get too caught up in living for others, feeling overstimulated, overwhelmed, and stuck in group think.

SOUL MADNESS
Soulful Madness is the essence of who we are. Our creative energy, intuition, curiosity, inspiration, passion, inner knowing, our existential DNA.  We are all given a spark of madness, an energy that only we can use to follow our unique life journey and design a full-spectrum human experience that feels aligned with who we are deep inside. Unfortunately, many people neglect or exhaust this innate energy.

Our Soulful Madness can influence our mind to lead our life with more passion and purpose. The problem is this energy can get exhausted quickly when we live too externally, leaving us feeling trapped in a life of stress, fatigue, and conformity. The most common complaint when we are disconnected from our Soul Madness is “It feels like something is missing”. People usually feel uninspired and unfulfilled when they’ve neglected this energy.


MIND MADNESS
Our Mind Madness is the energy we feel we have access to; that conscious mind (and unconscious influence) within us that determines how we live our life, what decisions we make, what career we enter, who we date/marry, how worthy we feel of a good life, how original we are. The mind madness is greatly influenced by both our soulful madness and our environmental madness. The madness of the mind is a true duality in that it can be chaotic, overwhelming, and crazy (what we think of with mental health dysfunction madness) or it can be inspirational, passionate, purposeful, and creative, leading us to a more meaningful, connected and fulfilled existence.

MENTAL HEALTH REIMAGINED

In operating a mental health treatment center, Dr. Reef found that adding existential therapy (to provide a deeper connection to self, more insight on who we are, better alignment for decision making, and authenticity), creative techniques (to expand our creative vision, see opportunities we couldn't see previously, change our perspective, and move out of old thinking), and practical techniques in energy redistribution (to move out of fatigue, to have the energy for inspiration and creativity, to find hope), made a huge difference in the outlook and life satisfaction of many of his clients. It was the missing piece to not just feeling stable, but feeling inspired to live a bigger, bolder, and more original life. This is what’s missing from most mental health conversations, education, awareness, and treatment programs.
It's not all about neurochemistry and cognitive thought changing. It's also about our human-ness; our existential needs, our passion, our creativity, our need to feel connection.
