Jewish Experience Group

Are you Jewish and wonder how or if your NDE or other Spiritually Transformative Experience aligns with your faith? Are you struggling to integrate your experience? Come explore these questions with others having similar concerns. While this Sharing Session contains Jewish content, it is open to all who have a desire to join us.

The 1st Sunday of every month at 4 pm ET.

The “Jewish Experience Sharing Group” is a sharing group for those in, or from, a Jewish community who have had, or are interested in near-death or similar experiences. Non-Jewish people are also welcome to join us as well to learn about Jewish perspectives.

For some experiencers, it’s helpful to consider issues of having a Jewish background when discussing their NDE/STE. This group allows a safe place for those types of discussions. There will be time to share your experiences, challenges, joys, and dreams.

We understand attendees of this group may come from many different Jewish traditions, other faith traditions, or none at all. We commit to respecting all who attend this group, knowing each person holds their own personal perspectives and beliefs.

This is a safe place of non-judgment. There is also no proselytizing. The group will explore the meaning and purpose of NDEs and how to integrate them by understanding the Jewish values implicit in the experience. Each person’s NDE or spiritually transformative experience is unique, and Rabbi Steve will help you find the hidden core of your soul’s purpose contained in the experience of the NDE.

Kabbalah, contemporary psychology, and brain science will provide a deeper understanding of the role of your physical being in this world and how leaving this world is not death, but transformation into another stage of living. Together we will support each other as we move to greater insights and application of the wisdom which will be revealed to all of us in these sessions

It is important to know:

    • No one will know you attended, except those in your group. Your privacy is protected.

From First Responder to Last Responder

About the event

What happens when the person whose job it was to keep you alive learns that death was never the enemy?

In this deeply personal and practically grounded talk, Danielle Slupeksy shares her journey from emergency room nurse to death doula, anchored by a near-death experience that transformed everything she thought she knew about living and dying. Her presentation moves through three phases: life on the front lines of emergency medicine, where death was the enemy; the NDE that cracked that worldview open; and the work she now does helping individuals and families approach death with intention, grace, and dignity.

This talk is for anyone who has ever felt the tension between knowing, on some level, that death is not the end, and still feeling unprepared, afraid, or uncertain about how to face it or talk about it. Danielle offers both the inspiration of lived experience and practical guidance for preparing for death consciously, including how to start conversations with loved ones, what end-of-life wishes and documents to have in place, and how to be present with someone who is dying.

At the heart of this presentation is a powerful shift in perspective: death is not a failure, it is a passage. This is not a talk about fear. It is a talk about what becomes possible when we stop looking away. Attendees will leave with greater clarity, real language for conversations many families avoid, and a deeper understanding of how facing death openly can make life richer, more intentional, and more free.

Imagination Creates Reality

After a near-death experience transformed her understanding of reality, identity, and suffering, Lisa Everhart now shares a powerful message of inner change and conscious creation. In this inspiring session, she explores how shifting perception can help us move beyond fear and begin shaping a more beautiful life.

About the event

In this thought-provoking presentation, Lisa Everhart shares how her near-death experience opened a profound new understanding of reality, identity, and suffering. What she encountered changed the way she saw life itself, revealing that we are not simply at the mercy of circumstances, but active participants in shaping our personal experience.

A central theme of Lisa’s message is the reframing of suffering—not as the end of the story, but as part of the bridge to transformation. By shifting perception, she shows how fear can begin to loosen, making way for greater clarity, peace, and a more conscious way of living.

Lisa also explores how identity shapes reality. When we change who we believe ourselves to be, our experience of life begins to change as well. Drawing from her own journey, as well as her background in psychology, subconscious reprogramming, and Neville Goddard’s teachings, she offers a perspective on how to step out of repeating patterns and begin choosing a new way of being.

Using the idea of “living from the end,” Lisa invites attendees to consider what becomes possible when we no longer live in fear of the unknown. When we trust more deeply in where the story is leading, the uncertainty of the middle begins to lose its power.

Join Lisa for an inspiring and empowering session that offers a renewed perspective on suffering, identity, and the creative power within each of us—along with simple tools for beginning to shape a more aligned and beautiful life.

About the event

She will also explore some of the deepest questions many people carry: Why are we here? What happens when we die? Will we see our loved ones again?

Through this presentation, Amber offers comfort, hope, and a broader understanding of life beyond the physical world. Attendees will be invited into a thoughtful exploration of the Other Side and the deeper meaning of our human existence.

It’s Time To Remember

Bill Letson’s near-death experience offers a grounded yet expansive look at consciousness beyond the body. Drawing from his own NDE, shared accounts from other experiencers, and ancient wisdom, Bill explores kindness, transformation, and the continuity of awareness. His story reminds us that we are all on the same journey—and that growth, understanding, and transcendence unfold when we are ready.

This presentation brings together Bill Letson’s near-death experience, the accounts of other NDEs, ancient wisdom teachings, and the hidden messages present all around us. Together, these elements form a larger picture—pieces of a cosmic puzzle waiting to be assembled. These are meaningful times, as the veil continues to lift and the “time of secrets” comes to an end.

Near-death experiencers have an important role in what is unfolding. Through their experiences, ordinary people remind us that we are all on the same journey and that each of us is equally important and deeply celebrated. Again and again, NDEs point to a universe that is unhurried, where time is an illusion and worry is unnecessary, and where every life has purpose and meaning.

In sharing his experience, Bill explores what NDEs reveal about consciousness, kindness, and transformation. His story reflects the understanding that there is a finish line—and that all of us are invited to transform and transcend when we are ready. Participants will come away with greater reassurance about life and death, a deeper sense of connection, and renewed trust in the larger unfolding of their own spiritual journey.

About Bill

Bill Letson is a retired fire captain and forester with 35 years of service. In 1994, while responding with his engine company to a severely ill patient in the Santa Barbara area, Bill was unknowingly exposed to the same illness. Within days, he was hospitalized and admitted to intensive care, where he spent the night critically dehydrated with failing vital signs.

During that night, Bill experienced a profound near-death experience. He separated from his physical body, traveled through a star-filled realm, and interacted with unusual, otherworldly beings. What followed were deeply blissful sensations of dying, encounters marked by intelligence and love, and a clear persistence of self—consciousness continuing without a physical body.

For the next 15 years, Bill quietly worked to understand what he had experienced. In 2010, recognizing the many similarities shared across NDE accounts, he began a more intentional exploration of the true nature of our earthly journey. His ongoing inquiry weaves together his near-death experience with shamanic ceremony (DMT), kundalini awakening, precession, and ancient knowledge.

Bill lives in Atascadero, California with Lia, his wife of 40 years. He enjoys time with their ranch cats, running dogs, and joyful egg-laying hens, and splits his time between California and Costa Rica.
