Dying Consciously: How to plan & have your preferred death

Dying Consciously - it's not something most of us think about very much. But some ancient teachings tell us that our state of consciousness at the time of death will determine the conditions of our next destination. And this idea is indeed supported by some parapsychological evidence.

In this unique interactive session, Candace Ohanessian will walk us through the many considerations and questions one needs to align this most important life-event with our innermost values and wishes.

Candace will introduce us to the key foundational concepts,
parapsychological aspects of dying, and then the practical foundations of a preferred (conscious) death. She'll then cover in depth what conscious dying is all about, how to be in a supporting role with others who may be dying, and then finishing with some closing reflections and discussion.

Certainly a thought-provoking and eye-opening discussion, and one you rarely get the opportunity to explore in a safe space with an experienced expert in the field. When we face up to our greatest fears, we become empowered.
