ert Neal Marshall suffered a major heart attack and went into ventricular fibrillation caused by a 100% blockage of his left anterior descending artery. Through remarkable chance of being in an ambulance when this occurred, paramedics shocked him in an attempt to bring back his heart and Robert flatlined. Eventually brought back by CPR, Robert was clinically dead for nearly a minute and a half. This profound experience changed his total being and perspective of life. As a professional lecturer over the past six years on topics of film and theatre with the award-winning Cunard Insights© Enrichment Programme, Robert now brings his personal and inspirational conversation to audiences on land.
Topics include:
- Crossing over and coming back – a Near Death Experience
- Dealing with the after effects of a Near Death Experience.
- Listening to your inner voice and letting it guide you.
- Embracing life and losing fear.
- Making positive choices to follow a truly fulfilled path.
- Learning to understand and let go of things we cannot change.
- Living and sharing from a place of deep love and kindness.
