A Spotlight on Vivien Schapera & Jennifer Garufi at The RV Book Fair 2025
The RV Book Fair 2025 continues to shine as a space where readers, writers, and seekers of knowledge converge to explore new ideas and rediscover timeless wisdom. Among this year’s most inspiring conversations is the panel “Exploring Spiritual Wellness: Mind, Body, and Energy,” featuring two remarkable voices in the world of healing and personal transformation: Vivien Schapera and Jennifer Garufi. Together, they offer attendees a deeply enriching exploration of what it means to heal, grow, and live with conscious intention.
Vivien Schapera: Bridging Body, Mind, and Spirit Through Crystals
Author, teacher, and healer Vivien Schapera has spent more than four decades developing a unique, integrative approach to wellness—one that blends psychology, the Alexander Technique, and the subtle intelligence of crystal energy. At the panel, Vivien shares how her groundbreaking book The Complete Guide to Crystal Surgery was inspired by a single, unexpected moment in the 1990s, when a client commented that a crystal “looked like a tool.” That simple remark sparked a 25-year journey of research, experimentation, and discovery.
In her work, Vivien treats crystals not simply as beautiful objects or symbolic tokens, but as bridges between body, mind, and spirit. Where traditional crystal healing emphasizes placement and intuition, Crystal Surgery introduces structured, tested techniques that allow practitioners to make precise energetic adjustments. She notes that the depth of material she eventually compiled is the equivalent of “100 years of research accomplished in 25,” a process she attributes to both disciplined study and intuitive support from the etheric realm.
Vivien’s approach is shaped significantly by her background in psychology and the Alexander Technique, disciplines that helped her develop extraordinary sensitivity to the human energy field. This foundation, combined with her global perspective and personal mission to help others realize their potential, empowers her writing—from her memoir Everyday Magic to her newly revised handbook How to Establish and Maintain a Strong Client Base. Each book, she explains, emerges out of genuine need and the desire to offer something truly useful.
For those entering the world of crystal healing, Vivien’s advice is simple and heartfelt: begin with what calls to you. Crystals, she says, choose us just as much as we choose them.
Jennifer Garufi: Guiding Readers Toward Inner Peace
Sharing the stage with Vivien is Jennifer (Jenny) Garufi, an intuitive healer, mentor, and speaker who has spent the last 20 years helping individuals reconnect with their inner strength and authentic self-worth. Jenny’s work centers on the belief that healing begins with aligning one’s energy to its highest resonance—an act that requires both gentle awareness and practical tools.
Her latest book, The 3-Minute Shower Reset – 21 Days to Inner Peace, encapsulates her mission beautifully. With warmth and compassion, Jenny invites readers to transform an everyday routine—the shower—into a mindful ritual of presence, gratitude, and emotional cleansing. Each three-minute practice is designed to calm the nervous system, release stress, and deepen connection to the body’s natural rhythms. As author and telepath Ditte Young writes in the book’s foreword, the practice honors the wisdom of water and encourages us “to soften, to listen, and to cleanse not just your body but your soul.”
During the panel, Jenny discusses her two decades of work as an intuitive mentor and the thousands of clients she has guided toward personal breakthroughs. She emphasizes the importance of customized healing experiences and reminds participants that the power to transform one’s life is always within—it simply needs to be remembered and reawakened.
A Transformative Conversation
Together, Vivien and Jenny offer attendees not just information, but invitation: an opportunity to explore wellness through curiosity, presence, and energetic awareness. Their combined insights illuminate the profound connections between mind, body, and spirit, and offer practical pathways for readers seeking balance, clarity, and inner peace.
As The RV Book Fair 2025 celebrates authors who inspire transformation, this panel stands out as a reminder that healing—like storytelling—is both a personal journey and a shared human experience.
