Developed by research. Dedicated to the public domain.

The Code of Ethics for Mediums and Channelers was developed by Dr. Siri Zemel and Dr. Helané Wahbeh through a research project at the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) in response to a call for action among practicing mediums and channelers. The full research paper about how we developed it is linked in publications, and this free download of the Code of Ethics is dedicated to the public domain. Anyone can use it and adapt to their practice. This Code of Ethics is considered aspirational, and adhering to it is completely voluntary.
