Integrating Mediumship into Compassionate End-of-Life Care

Millions of people sense the presence of their deceased loved one but don’t know how to talk about these experiences. What if mediumship were part of an integrated approach to end-of-life care?

The cultural taboo and stigma around after-death communication can make this longed for and affirming connection confusing and even disturbing.

We imagine a world where mediumship and talking directly to our dead loved ones is accepted and part of an integrated approach to end-of-life care and bereavement support.

Join us to learn how after-death communication is understood by science and fits into the wider context of the emerging scientific paradigm. Hear real-life stories of hope and healing from a medium and re-imagine with us how continuing bonds with the deceased can transform how we see death.
