Join us for an enlightening talk on Investigation of Possession, Entity Attachment and Corresponding Healing Modalities: An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis.
From the speaker:
Possession is a phenomenon that spans nearly all cultures across recorded history. Possession can be either positive, which is sought after and intentionally induced by the experiencer, or negative, where the person is afflicted against their will. Whether possession is the inhabitation of a human body by a non-human or deceased entity, an altered state of consciousness or a mixture of the two does not change the fact that these are powerful and extraordinary experiences for the people afflicted by or wielding possession states.
In this talk, I will be exploring the interstice between positive possession and negative possession when it is employed by practitioners treating possession and entity attachment. Using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis, I will be looking at the meaning derived from these extraordinary experiences as well as clues to what may initiate these psi experiences, which are often credited as the source of profound healing.

Join us for an enlightening talk on
Schizotypy and Anomalous Experiences: What is the link?
From the speaker:
Schizotypy is a personality continuum which has a similar aetiology to Schizophrenia. Schizotypy is typically measured with the Oxford-Liverpool Inventory of Life Experiences (O-LIFE) questionnaire, and it is known that people who score highly on this scale have a greater degree of Paranormal and Anomalous Experiences, but why should that be? This presentation will discuss both the mechanistic and naturalistic explanations for this, as well as more Paranormal and Anomalous accounts for this observed behaviour.
