Spiritual Activism Informed by Psychic Experience by Natalie Tobert

Medical Anthropologist Dr. Natalie Tobert is an itinerant scholar who teaches in medical schools, hospitals, and universities. Her course modules support integrated health and explore multiple narratives and plural ways of understanding consciousness. As Education Director of Aethos Training, Natalie designed 8 - 10 weekly courses covering “Cultural Diversity, Mental Wellbeing, and Spirituality”. She developed a Training Manual on Cultural Equalities for Frontline Health Service Providers, and has facilitated workshop seminars in UK, Ireland, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and USA (CIIS - California Institute of Integral Studies).  Dr Tobert conducted three ethnographic fieldwork projects: one in Sudan for her doctorate, and two in India. She also undertook research on the relationship between mystical, spiritual, and religious experiences and mental health (Alister Hardy Archive).
