Dr. Jennifer Lisa Vest: On Being an Ethical Psychic

CIIS Public Programs - Podcast tekijän mukaan CIIS Public Programs - Torstaisin

For Afro-Indigenous intuitive healer and scholar Jennifer Vest, being an ethical psychic means being of service and learning how to navigate the thorny issues and unique risks inherent to intuitive work. In her latest book, The Ethical Psychic, Dr. Vest explores how and why energy workers must be of service, authentic, and self-aware. They must learn from their mistakes, embody sensitivity to client needs, be humble, and listen to a higher source. In this episode, Dr. Vest is joined by CIIS Associate Professor and Chair of the Women’s Spirituality program Annette Williams for an illuminating conversation exploring how psychics and energy workers can build an authentic, equitable, and culturally sensitive healing practice. This episode was recorded during a live online event on October 27th, 2022. A transcript is available at ciispod.com.
