Healing Traditions: Jennifer Lisa Vest and Dawson Church in Conversation

Dr. Jennifer Lisa Vest has an impressive career spanning over 12 years as a medical intuitive, during which she has assisted numerous clients in unraveling their medical enigmas and guiding them to discover and harmonize with their life purposes.

Gifted with innate abilities including clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, and mediumship, Dr. Vest diligently cultivated these talents through rigorous training under the guidance of various mentors, both in traditional and formal educational settings. Her practice is an amalgamation of wisdom gleaned from a diverse range of teachers and training programs, incorporating elements from herbal and spiritual healing traditions such as African American, Native American, Jamaican, Trinidadian, and Spiritualist traditions.

With a robust background, Dr. Jennifer Lisa Vest boasts certification as a medium, a trained firekeeper, a QHHT Past Life Regression Practitioner, and a Usui Reiki Master. Her academic pursuits have culminated in a Ph.D. in Indigenous Philosophy from UC Berkeley and a B.A. in Physics from Hampshire College in Amherst, MA. Notably, she held a tenured position as a Philosophy professor for a decade. This unique blend of qualifications informs her holistic approach to healing, combining intuition, logic, and scientific methodology.

 Dr. Vest's capabilities extend to being a developed trance channel and akashic records reader, facilitating out-of-body experiences to visit the pre-incarnation meetings where her clients charted their life paths, selected their lessons, and entered into soul contracts with others. This profound insight allows her to elucidate the spiritual aspects of illness alongside providing insights into the physical and emotional roots of her clients' conditions.

In addition to her client work, Dr. Jennifer Lisa Vest has dedicated herself to teaching psychic and healing arts, imparting knowledge in areas such as medical intuition, akashic records, mediumship, and women of color medicine traditions for many years. She also leads ceremonies, conducts training sessions, speaks at events, and has recently authored a book titled "The Ethical Psychic," which is currently available for pre-sales through Penguin/Random House.

The first acupuncturist to receive an academic appointment at Harvard Medical School’s Department of Anesthesiology, Kantor is the author of The Emotional Roots of Chronic Illness, and The Toxic Relationship Cure.

• Homeopathy isn’t diagnosis driven
• Homeopathy trains you to convert what people tell you into a rubric of meaning
• Medicine is fragmented, and the psychological roots are not considered
• During Lincoln’s time the government was full of homeopaths
• There are 5 existential quandaries at the root of our existence
• Existential questions don’t have a yes or no answer
• Homeopathy releases the charge underlying the five quandaries
• Often one dose is enough, and the vital force responds over 4 or 5 weeks
• Remedies trick the system into treating a chronic problem into an acute problem

Healing Collective Trauma: Thomas Hübl and Dawson Church in Conversation

Thomas Hübl, PhD, is a renowned teacher, author, and international facilitator who works within the complexity of systems and cultural change by integrating the core insights of the great wisdom traditions and mysticism with the discoveries of science.

Since 2004, he has taught and facilitated programs with more than 100,000 people worldwide, including online courses which he began offering in 2013. He is the author of Attuned: Practicing Interdependence to Heal Our Trauma—and Our World (2023) and Healing Collective Trauma: A Process for Integrating Our Intergenerational and Cultural Wounds (2020), which was featured in Oprah Daily as one of “10 Books to Help with Old, Painful Traumas”. He has published articles in Harvard Health and the Journal of Awareness-Based Systems Change.

Hübl has served as an advisor and guest faculty for organizations and universities and is currently a visiting scholar at the Wyss Institute at Harvard University. As a coach and trainer, he supports CEOs and leaders in their personal and professional development and in becoming trauma informed. He has presented talks and taught workshops on resilience, collective healing, and relational competencies for healing trauma at Harvard Medical School since 2019.

Born in Austria, Hübl studied medicine at the University of Vienna and worked as a paramedic for nine years. He left his studies at the University in the 1990s to begin a new life path focused on teaching meditation and mindfulness-based awareness practices. He began holding retreats in Austria and Germany in the early 2000s and noticed that many participants began to voice some of their deeply held intergenerational wounds stemming from the second World War.

As these programs evolved over the next two decades, he developed the Collective Trauma Integration Process for working with individual, ancestral, and collective trauma. This model promotes a safe exploration of sharing and reflection, guided by a facilitation process that supports radical openness, transparent communication, mindful awareness, and refined relational competencies.

Hübl has led large-scale events that have brought together thousands of Germans and Israelis to acknowledge, face, and heal the cultural shadow left by the Holocaust. Over the past ten years, his intensive training programs have addressed the persistent challenges of our time – climate anxiety, racism, gender violence, and political polarization, among others – through the lens of individual, ancestral, and collective trauma.

The interdisciplinary nature of Hübl’s work has been shared with and practiced by organizations and working groups of physicians, psychologists, and therapists. Since 2019, Hübl has hosted an annual Collective Trauma Summit which has brought together hundreds of prominent speakers and draws hundreds of thousands of attendees from around the world.

In 2017, Hübl and his wife, Israeli artist Yehudit Sasportas, founded The Pocket Project, an NGO dedicated to addressing and integrating collective trauma throughout the world. Trauma-informed leadership, post-genocide reform, and a practice called “global social witnessing” are key areas of focus and activity.
