      Announcing a MindFreedom Conference Retreat on
      Choice in Mental Health Care

      Save the date! July 12 to 15, 2007

MindFreedom International presents a conference retreat supporting  
the growth of workable alternatives to the mental health system  
entitled "Creative Revolution in Healing: Turning Our Minds Around."  
The beautiful retreat site is near New York City at a place called  
Wisdom House.

Why not do things differently and have a nonviolent revolution in  
mental health care? How about real choices and multiple options for  
our mental and emotional well being? Let's turn around the way we  
think about mental health.

Let's learn about and help create alternatives to standard mental  
health treatment, including safe houses, drug-free centers, peer  
support, emotional healing, poetry, music, drama, performance,  
writing, journaling, fun & games, liberation, activism, nutrition,  
exercise, and much more.

Who should attend?

** ANYONE who is dissatisfied with the mental health system.

** People who have helped themselves to recover or helped other  
people to recover from mental and emotional difficulties.

** People who are running alternatives.

** People who want to create alternatives.

About the Conference site:

During the conference, we will stay at Wisdom House in Connecticut.  
Wisdom House Retreat and Conference Center invites you to an  
experience of peace and tranquility.

acres of meadows, an outdoor swimming pool, woods & brooks.
