Memoirs of a Former Mystic:
​Caution: too much love and light will make you sick! ​

A film by Jessica Schab and Élisabeth Feytit
Produced by l'Esprit & la Matière
Why would anyone walk away from fame, followers and constant support? This is a documentary where a former spiritual leader dares to challenge what she once taught and believed in so fondly.

After 10 years of being a New Age guru, Jessica Schab, aka Jessica Mystic, chose to quit her ‘mission’ and started de-conditioning herself from the esoteric ideas that had ruled her life for so long.

This documentary takes us into the mysteries of gullibility, fantasy and self-deception, and makes us question why we give these things so much power over our thinking. Through this unusual story, we discover how beliefs so often lead to unsuspected dramatic consequences in our own lives.
Using self-irony and offbeat humour, Jessica challenges us to be more skeptical and to detect the numerous psychological pitfalls that we think we are not susceptible to.

Be prepared for both a warm embrace and a slap in the face!
This film is at pre-production stage. We are currently looking for partners and financial support.

Here is an interview my Producer and I gave at the 17th European Skeptics Congress, in Wroclaw, Poland for the Skeptic Zone Podcast (starting at 20 minutes in).
