Teal Swan (born Mary Teal Bosworth; June 16, 1984) is an American spiritual teacher. Swan's teachings on how to manage mental health issues have often been described as unconventional and potentially hazardous and has received criticism for how she attracts fans. She has been nicknamed "The Suicide Catalyst", a play on her pen name "The Spiritual Catalyst". Swan and her teachings were discussed in a six-part audio documentary series by Gizmodo in June 2018. She was also the subject of a documentary film, Open Shadow: The Story of Teal Swan, which was released in 2017.
