In this episode, join Marty and Bill as they welcome special guest Dr. Marie Feuer on the True You Podcast. Dr. Feuer shares her transformative journey from activism to spirituality, discussing her involvement in energy activism, mystical events, and integrating Internal Family Systems (IFS) into her practice. The conversation covers groundbreaking topics like remote healing, telepathic communication, and personal anecdotes that highlight the powerful impact of IFS. 

About Dr. Marie Feuer:

Marie transitioned from full-time activism into a journey of recovery and spirituality. Her transformation began with The Living Theater, where trance performances awakened her to the power of energy. Activism with the American Indian Movement at Wounded Knee connected her with medicine people and mystical events, eventually leading her to mentors in metaphysics and remote healing.

Beginning in 1990, she taught gang members as a professor before moving on to colleges with at-risk students. Over 15 years, she engaged in ACA 12-step work and inner-child healing, evolving into Internal Family Systems. With more than 12 years in the mystic arts and psychology, Marie now continues to integrate IFS into her spiritual practice.
