Mad Ghosts

In this episode of Mad Tea, Matt and Megan explore the idea of ghosts—not the spectral kind, but those that haunt our memories, bodies, and inner landscapes. Through the stories of Milarepa, the Tibetan “mad yogi,” and Vincent van Gogh, they reflect on how madness can be met not with fear or suppression, but with compassion, invitation, and integration. These figures did not escape their suffering but transformed their relationship to it, offering a powerful model for how we might sit with our own madness.
