Spiritual awakening is a blossoming—a gentle unfolding, like a sunflower turning its face toward the light. A Spiritually Transformative Experience (STE) may mark only the beginning of this ongoing journey of awakening. As we grow, our awareness expands, opening us to new insights and the timeless mysteries of existence.

Lifting the Veil: Reclaiming Our Power Through Embodied Truth

In this presentation, Carolina invites listeners to see the spiritual and 3D world as inseparably one—using her journey and mystical experiences as living proof. She challenges the myth that mystical states are rare or supernatural, reframing them as humanity’s birthright and most natural state. Carolina reveals how the sense of separation is an illusion—the “veil”—that dissolves through awakening, healing, and radical self-honesty.

The Invitation Embedded in NDEs and STEs Taking Place Throughout Our Parenting Journey.

NDEs and STEs that happen while we are also parents to children or teens who depend on us, or as significant adults to little ones, carry additional invitations. It’s no longer just about us, and we don’t have the luxury of taking our time to process them at our own pace. Our children, teens, or little ones rely on us and expect us to respond to these divine invitations promptly, as they also affect them, as soon as we are able to.

The Stages of the Soul’s Ascension

The aim of this talk is to outline the four stages of the Soul’s Ascension that I have identified over years of research (Intention – Realisation – Integration – Expansion), which represent a common journey for those who have undergone a Near-Death Experience or other STEs, but they also appear in individuals who, despite not having had a near-death experience, have extensively studied these phenomena or have explored them through meditation or other spiritual practices.

A Proof of God

In order to say anything about the existence of God, we first need to say what it is. If we assume that “God” names a type of experience, then proofs of God shouldn’t start from the outside, as has historically been the case. Instead, we begin with the direct knowing of God, or unitive experience. This includes an unbounded sense of “here” and “now” – as “everywhere” and “always.”

Change happens at the intersection of timing and information. As inhabitants of mother earth, we arrived here with “presence.” We brought with us from the other side light and hope to a world in darkness. It is now our turn to shine. In our internal make-up we collectively brought with us the Flame of Eternal life. This offers the Earth and all its inhabitants the opportunity to grow and to shine.

7 Veils: Mystical Secrets of Soulful Enlightenment

This PowerPoint presentation invites you to engage in a creative journey through metaphorical veils of enlightenment. It represents stages of awareness, healing, and spiritual development toward higher conscious and unity.
The journey encompasses the sacred secret found in denial, how sensations can guide you, seeing yourself “unveiled,” the mysterious gift of love, promise as spiritual alignment, integration to enable healing and stillness as a path to bliss and enlightenment.

The Seeker’s Journey – The transformational chamber for STEs to call forward deep lasting change and empowerment.

STEs have the power to bring us into a deep felt sense of compassion and courage to live our lives rooted in love instead of fear. They can also leave us feeling an internal divide and disillusionment with how to integrate and fully live rooted in the same mystical love that we felt in an STE. During this talk, I’ll share how STEs are one element out of the five core stages of the Seeker’s Journey, an archetypal pattern of awakening to our True-Self.

Beyond the Veil of Self: Awakening the Sovereign Mind through Transcendence and Daily Life

What if the keys to enlightenment are not hidden in faraway temples or mystical mountaintops, but in the quiet unfolding of your own consciousness? In this soul-expanding presentation, New Thought teacher and author Jeremy E. McDonald, M.Ed., shares how his own shared death experience and years of meditation opened a doorway to understanding our true relationship with the universe—and how we can each awaken that same inner knowing.

After the Light: The Magnanimous Journey — Integrating NDE & STE Gifts into a Grounded, Purpose-Driven Life

Spiritually Transformative Experiences can awaken extraordinary perception—but they can also unravel identity, emotional stability, and the sense of belonging in one’s human life. In this presentation, After the Light: The Magnanimous Journey, I share the transformational arc that experiencers often walk after an NDE or STE: the dissolution of the old self, the energetic hypersensitivity that follows, and the powerful emergence of purpose that rises from the “second birth.”

Growth During Turbulent Times

I offer first-hand information about what what is going on in our intense world now and for the next several decades, as well as what exists beyond this life within time and space, thanks to what I learned (as others have) from an extraordinary ‘near-death’ experience (NDE) I had in 1977. My book, A Second In Eternity, describes that incredible voyage in detail, and I inspire others to see the Light in spite of the darkness. How? By choice and practice. The Kingdom of Heaven is always WITHIN.

Into the Heart of Christ: What I Was Shown During My NDE

In 2001, Sharon Sananda Kumara underwent a profound near-death experience that opened a gateway into realms of infinite love and deep soul remembrance. She recounts the moment she left her physical body, the extraordinary encounter with Jesus that followed, and the powerful healing journey that unfolded beyond the veil.

Life After Awakening – Can it Ever be the Same?

A Zen proverb that I often use when working with clients going through an awakening is: “Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water.” A critical junction in awakening is the fear that life will never be the same and that the experience marks one as forever different. They fear becoming an outcast. Reassurance that they will normalize and that this process clears away the debris that resides in the body, mind, and nervous system, and resets emotional trauma is essential.

Rev. Catherine Chapey

STE’s, NDE’s, ET’s – An Extraordinary Intersection for Human Potential

Rev. Catherine Chapey experienced an NDE at birth and had multiple STEs during her childhood. Years later in adulthood, her deceased parents and a friend who ended his life began to communicate with her. Led intuitively to a Spiritualist Church, she learned to meditate and sat in a weekly unfoldment circle for years. In 2007 & 2008 she experienced profound spiritual awakening, kundalini awakening, spirit communication and more.

Meditation through Tarot

Meditation climaxes in a transformed conscious experience leading to mystical union or what is called Samadhi in the Eastern tradition. Tarot shows a path towards this metamorphosis of consciousness.

The Six Keys to Unlock Christ Consciousness

We will focus awareness on each of the main seven chakras and rest in the energies and consciousness associated with each chakra. This meditation will use a modern version of the colors of each chakra drawn from the teachings of Pia Ma, a spiritual teacher from Australia. The meditation is useful for relaxation, stress release and aligning with higher frequency consciousness. It will be accompanied by slides with visuals promoting harmony and beauty.
