About the event
What if the greatest gift of a near-death experience isn’t learning about death—but learning how to truly live?
Near-death experiences often leave us with profound questions about consciousness, the nature of reality, and what happens after we die. Yet their deepest impact may be something even more meaningful: they can transform the way we experience everyday life.
In this inspiring webinar, Dr. Ingrid Honkala shares the most meaningful lessons she has gathered from four near-death experiences and years of integrating those experiences through both scientific inquiry and lived experience. Rather than focusing solely on extraordinary events, she explores how these moments revealed a deeper understanding of consciousness, unconditional love, and the light that exists within every human being.
Through personal stories and thoughtful reflection, participants will discover how these experiences challenged long-held assumptions about life and opened a new perspective on fear, purpose, and what it truly means to be alive.
Whether you have had a near-death experience yourself, support someone who has, work with experiencers professionally, or are simply curious about consciousness, this webinar offers a thoughtful and uplifting perspective on one of life’s greatest mysteries.
Participants will leave with a renewed appreciation for life, a broader understanding of consciousness, and practical inspiration for bringing greater peace, presence, and compassion into their everyday lives.
