Cultural / Traditional Healers -- Science & Psi

A Relational Framework

Care that respects lineage, consent, and community authority.

Science & Psi recognizes that many people seek support through cultural, ancestral, spiritually informed, and community-based healing traditions. This page is a doorway for ethical learning and collaboration, not a substitute for medical or licensed mental health care.

Pathways

How we approach traditional healing.

Ethical Engagement

We emphasize attribution, consent, reciprocity, and respect for communities that hold and transmit healing knowledge.

Multiple Ways of Knowing

We distinguish science, philosophy, lived experience, and ancestral epistemologies without flattening them into one framework.

Collaborative Care

We support respectful dialogue between clinicians, researchers, healers, and communities when collaboration is invited and appropriate.

Community Care

Not extraction. Relationship.

Our work is guided by a commitment to avoid appropriation, sensationalism, and decontextualized use of sacred or lineage-bound practices. We aim to create educational resources that point toward accountability and community benefit.
