How My NDEs & STEs Changed Everything I Believe About Myself & the World-Shaun L
Eno River Unitarian Universalist Fellowship (ERUUF), 4907 Garrett Road, Durham, NC, USHow My NDEs & STEs Changed Everything I Believe About Myself & the World by Shaun Lether via Zoom

Hawaiian Islands IANDS Group Leader and Near-Death Experiencer, Shaun Lether will share on Nov. 21st via Zoom at the Durham IANDS meeting how through a series of Spiritually Transformative Experiences (STEs) and Near-Death Experiences (NDEs) with their powerful after-effects, Shaun Lether woke up to his true spiritual nature and discovered his life purpose. That purpose did not revolve around his four business degrees or accomplishments in marketing, business, and real estate. Rather, his soul’s purpose centered around mind, body, and spirit healing, and being of service to others.
In 2004 while flying from Los Angeles to Hawaii, Shaun had an abdominal hernia incarcerate and strangulate which caused his intestines to begin to die. Four days later he was rushed into an emergency surgery...
Please join us to hear his NDEs and STEs.
