This
presentation explores the myths and misconceptions that have created a fear
of death in our culture, and offers an extraordinary metaphysical perspective
on the dying and grieving process.
Using interactive exercises, guided meditation and after-death communication
techniques (ADC), participants will acquire unique tools and techniques
for navigating the dying and grieving process. Based on Terri's experience
as a hospice worker, channeler and grief guide who works with assistance
from The Other Side, she uses interdimensional journeying to gently guide
participants into contact with the higher realms, where out-of-body experience
and death itself are seen as simply the continuation of life in another
dimension.
There are five segments to the workshop:
1. We begin with a brief introductory exploration
about fear-based mythologies and imagery associated with traditional western
views of death. Throughout the workshop, these notions are gradually replaced
with more empowering, less frightening concepts of death, dying and the
afterlife.
2.
From here we move into a "trust-building" exercise in which participants
can share their grief journeys and bond with one another through a heart-opening
interactive process that creates a sense of safety, confidence and companionship.
3. A guided meditation that assists participants to make contact with a
guide or loved one in the higher realms. The meditation is followed by an
open discussion and sharing of what was experienced during the meditation.
4. The next exercise involves participants writing a "letter from Heaven"
to themselves from a guide or loved one in the higher realms.
5. We conclude with a look at imaginative rituals and practices for creating
a conscious transition for the dying and a conscious grieving process for
those who remain on earth. These rituals can be practiced with a dying person
and/or with friends and family members. The value of ritual in the grieving
process can never be overestimated. It creates an opportunity for the bereaved
to give form to their feelings by bringing what cannot be expressed in words
into a physical or symbolic representation.
