How Can We Help? | The International Writers Festival Wellness Clinic
Thursday 28.5
21:00–22:30
Auditorium
In an era of ongoing crisis, the self-help genre in literature and online culture is flourishing. Coaches, healers, and various kinds of “experts” present their philosophies, promising us that life can be repaired, that everything is within our reach—if only we are willing to help ourselves.
In a unique festival event, we will establish a holistic self-help clinic featuring leading experts who will address a range of audience concerns across different fields. At the same time, we will try to understand and examine why we are so drawn to gurus of all kinds, what their perspectives are on this phenomenon, and what might be potentially dangerous about it.
