🎺 Tooting My Own Horn
Hi Reader,
I hope this email finds you well. I am thrilled to share some exciting news with you! I have been given the incredible opportunity to participate in the 2023 IANDS Conference, where I will be speaking on three different occasions. It’s an honor to be recognized by the International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS) and to have the chance to connect face-to-face at the conference for my first time.
1. From Grief to Growth: Opening Night Presentation- Thursday August 31
On the opening night of the conference, I will be sharing my personal journey of moving from grief to growth after the sudden passing of my beloved daughter, Shayna. Through my experience, I’ve discovered profound insights into the nature of life, death, and the power of resilience. Join me as we explore these themes together and find inspiration in our shared human experience.
2. Positive Intelligence Workshop: Friday, September 1
Join me on Friday for a transformative 2-hour interactive workshop where we will dive into the principles of positive intelligence. Together, we will explore techniques to enhance our mental fitness and cultivate a positive mindset. These principles have been instrumental in my own healing journey, and I’m excited to guide you through the process.
3. Lunch and Conversation: Saturday, September 2
On Saturday, you have the unique opportunity to join me for a lunch where we can connect, share stories, and engage in meaningful conversations. This intimate setting provides a chance for us to connect on a deeper level and explore the themes of healing, growth, and the continuation of relationships beyond the physical realm.
Since 2016, I have been associated with IANDS, finding solace and support in their meetings and events. As someone who hasn’t personally experienced a near-death experience, I’ve been welcomed into the community with open arms. It’s an environment of love, hope, and healing, and I’m grateful to be a part of it.
I am truly humbled to have been selected as a “distinguished” speaker at this conference. If you’d like to learn more about the conference, my sessions, and how to register, I invite you to click here to watch a short video and find the link to register:
