The Near-Death Experience: An Initiation and Transformation
May 8, 1993 @ 9:30 am - 4:30 pm PDT
This is a personal narrative of a near-death experience. It is an attempt to describe the indescribable and with this paradox in mind, it is a psychological and embodied experience of death and rebirth, of initiation and transformation. At a time when medical technology is saving more lives and prolonging life, when terminal illness is striking more young adults, the issue of death and dying is being forced into our consciousness.
In the workshop we will look at death and dying from personal, archetypal, and spiritual levels, with the hope of eliciting through our discussion a perspective on death as an opportunity to enrich our lives.
