Always Connected: How to Recognize and Trust After-Death Communication

Evidential medium Suzanne Giesemann will lead an illuminating and experiential presentation on how after-death communication occurs. Participants will learn why meaningful contact may be more natural than many people realize and how to become more receptive. Through a gentle guided practice, they will also have an opportunity to experience this process for themselves.

About the event

The death of the body does not end our relationships with those we love. Yet grief, doubt, expectations, and the busyness of the thinking mind can make the continuing connection difficult to recognize. In this illuminating and experiential presentation, evidential medium Suzanne Giesemann will offer a grounded understanding of how after-death communication occurs—and why meaningful contact across the veil may be far more natural and accessible than many people realize. Using a simple model of consciousness, she will explain why connection is possible and how relationships continue beyond physical death.

Drawing upon personal stories and compelling evidence from her work, Suzanne will explain the many ways our loved ones may make their presence known. These experiences do not always arrive as dramatic visions or clearly heard voices. They may come through dreams, signs, synchronicities, physical sensations, an unexpected memory, a sensed presence, spontaneous knowing, or mediumistic impressions. Understanding how communication is received can help us stop overlooking or dismissing the very experiences we have been hoping for.

Suzanne will also explore why trying too hard can interfere with connection and how becoming calm, coherent, and open makes subtle impressions easier to notice. She will share a practical process for setting a clear intention and grounded ways to discern what arises without blindly accepting every impression or immediately explaining it away. Participants will then be guided through a gentle practice designed to quiet the mind, open the heart, and become receptive to the continuing presence of a loved one.

Whether you are grieving someone you love, have experienced an after-death communication, are curious about mediumship, or simply want to better understand the nature of consciousness beyond the physical body, this presentation will offer reassurance, clarity, and practical tools you can use on your own. Participants will leave with a greater understanding of how communication across the veil may occur, more confidence in recognizing meaningful experiences, and the comforting awareness that love and connection continue. The presentation will include time for questions and answers.

About Suzanne

Suzanne Giesemann is a spiritual teacher, author, and medium recognized on the Watkins list of the 100 Most Spiritually Influential Living People. A former Navy commander and aide to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, she has published 17 books and seven Hemi-Sync recordings, and her YouTube videos have reached more than 20 million viewers. She produces the Awakened Way app and hosts the Always Connected podcast.

Suzanne shares The Awakened Way™, a mindful approach to living with the awareness that we are not only human, but part of one interconnected web of higher consciousness. Her gift of multidimensional communication has been verified by noted afterlife researchers. Her messages bring not only hope but healing and love that go straight to the heart.

What It Really Feels Like in the Light

What does it feel like to exist beyond the physical body? Drawing upon his vivid near-death experience, Andy explores perception, the senses, and the profound expansion of consciousness he experienced within the unconditional Loving Light.

About the event

What does it feel like to exist beyond the physical body? Can you see without eyes, hear without ears, or experience movement, touch, and temperature while in the Light?

In this presentation, Andy Pedro will draw upon his vivid memories of his near-death experience to explore how perception and the senses change when consciousness is no longer centered in the physical body. He will describe what it felt like to move through the tunnel, enter the Light, and become what he calls “a holographic piece of the unconditional Loving Light.”

Through this exploration, Andy will offer a firsthand perspective on the profound expansion of consciousness he experienced and the overwhelming love, joy, and sense of belonging he encountered. The presentation will conclude with an open Q&A, giving participants an opportunity to ask Andy their own questions about what it was like to be in the Light.

About ANDY

Andy Pedro describes himself as a regular person who happened to have an extraordinary experience. During his high school graduation picnic in 1955, he drowned and was clinically lifeless for approximately ten minutes. During that time, he traveled through a tunnel and entered a brilliant Light filled with ecstasy, joy, and unconditional love.

Returning to his body was difficult. With no context for what had happened, Andy spent years feeling confused, frightened, and deeply saddened by the loss of the profound love he had experienced. It was not until he read Dr. Raymond Moody’s groundbreaking book Life After Life in 1975 that he recognized his experience as a near-death experience.

Today, Andy shares his remarkably detailed memories through his books and speaking engagements, offering others a firsthand account of consciousness beyond the physical body and the unconditional love he encountered in the Light.

Why I No Longer Fear Death

After a lifetime of fearing death, Heather Vandermeyden’s near-death experience transformed her understanding of what may lie beyond this life. She will share the love she encountered, her miraculous recovery, and the extraordinary experiences that followed—offering hope and comfort to those facing grief or a fear of death.

About the event

For most of her life, Heather Vandermeyden was afraid of death. She believed that when she died, she would be judged for the things she had done wrong. Her near-death experience changed that belief in a way she never could have imagined. Instead of judgment, she was met with immeasurable love—and returned with an entirely new understanding of life, death, and what may exist beyond this physical world.

In this presentation, Heather will share her near-death experience and the extraordinary events that followed. Her return brought a miraculous recovery, but the journey was not easy: she had to learn to walk and talk again. She will also describe the spirit guide who helped her during her near-death experience—and who, remarkably, has continued to appear in her life since she returned.

Through the miracles and unexpected experiences that followed, Heather came to believe that our connection with the other side does not necessarily end when we return to this life. She will explore how these experiences freed her from the fear of death, helped her find greater meaning in life’s relationships and challenges, and influenced the way she now lives, makes choices, and understands her purpose.

By sharing her story, Heather hopes to help others who are struggling with a fear of death, grieving someone they love, or simply wondering what happens when we die. You do not need to have had a near-death experience yourself to connect with her story. She hopes attendees will leave feeling more hopeful, more at peace, and perhaps a little less afraid of what lies beyond this life.

About heather

Heather Vandermeyden is an author, speaker, and near-death experience survivor who is passionate about helping others find hope and a deeper understanding of life after death. Her own experience at age 20, followed by a remarkable recovery, changed the direction of her life and the way she understands death and the spiritual world.

Heather is the author of Miracles from the Other Side: How My Near-Death Experience Saved My Life. Through her book and speaking, she shares not only her near-death experience, but also the remarkable miracles and experiences that continued after she returned.

Heather serves on the board of Utah IANDS and enjoys connecting with others who have had near-death and spiritually transformative experiences. She hopes her story will help people feel less alone, more hopeful, and less afraid of death.

Sung Back to Belonging: Near-Death Experiences & the Healing Power of Medicine Singing

At eight years old, Robin Aisha Landsong was abducted, shot, and left for dead during war in Africa, experiencing two near-death experiences. A Zimbabwean woman sang Medicine Songs that helped call her back to life, opening a gift that became central to Robin’s life’s work. In this event, Robin shares what she experienced beyond the veil and offers participants a live experience of the Singing Medicine she first received in Africa.

About the event

Join multiple near-death experiencer, author, visionary artist, and Medicine Singer Robin Aisha Landsong for an intimate journey through her first two NDEs and the extraordinary human goodness that brought her back to life.

At eight years old, Robin was abducted, shot, and left for dead during war in Africa. During her first two near-death experiences, she encountered profound love and belonging beyond the body. When she returned, an African woman stayed with her and sang Medicine Songs that became the thread calling her back to life.

Robin will share what she experienced on the other side of the veil, how courageous acts of human goodness shaped her return, and how her most difficult life experiences became the source of her greatest service to others. What she received opened her purpose: to turn trauma into creative life force, restore belonging, and bring the gifts of her NDEs into action in a world that needs more courage, nurturing, and human connection.

The gathering will culminate in a live experience of Robin’s Singing Medicine, inviting participants to move beyond hearing her story and directly receive the nourishing power of song, presence, belonging, and human connection.

About Robin

Robin Aisha Landsong is a transformational speaker, visual artist, Medicine Singer, and medical and health intuitive. She had two near-death experiences during the Rhodesian War in 1977, when she was eight years old. When she was called back to life by the Medicine Song of a rural Zimbabwean woman, it opened her own Medicine Songs, and she has since given Singing Medicine to more than 16,000 people.

As a craniosacral therapist, Robin specializes in trauma resolution, the neurobiology of connection, and restoring the body’s natural rhythms. She sees each person’s gifts and strengths, as well as the underlying causes of their physical, emotional, or spiritual distress. Robin helps people come home to their creativity, intuition, and embodiment.
