Vivienne Somers had a shared-death experience. Thirty years ago, her two-year-old son drowned, and was revived after 36 minutes. When he was placed on life support in a coma, Vivienne was told he would not survive. While he was unconscious, however, she left her body and was shown that he would wake up. She was also told to change the direction of her life and to serve humanity. He lived, and two years later, when he told his mom that he saw her while he was on life support and described visiting other sick kids in the hospital, she began to realize the nature of what had happened. Vivienne will speak to us live via Zoom from her home in Los Angeles on Wednesday, September 10, at 7:00 pm Central about her experience and its unfolding impact on her life. Please join us!
Vivienne Somers heralds from rural New South Wales, Australia and her childhood was steeped in unexplained phenomena. Her home was on land where a 19th century Irish convict uprising left many dead, and was known to locals as the location of frequent unusual events. Even some of Viv’s friends who had unexplained encounters in her home refused to return.
During her late twenties, Viv, who was raised in the Catholic Church, questioned her spiritual beliefs, and decided to lay her practices to rest in favor of a focus on more practical values. The day she declared to her husband that she no longer believed in a god or in other realms was the day her young son had his accident. During his recovery, she had an experience where she was told her son would survive, contrary to what the doctors were saying. The boy later related what she came to realize was his own near-death experience (NDE), including details he could not have known at the time, and these events changed her.
For over forty years, Viv has worked in the film industry both in Australia and the United States, as a makeup artist and producer. Her now strong interest in spirituality has led to an ongoing search for empirical evidence of the survival of consciousness and a quest to find ways to have these experiences through different living practices that can emulate the NDE.
