When direct experience tears open the boundaries of what we believe is possible, something permanent shifts. For some, it becomes a story. For others, a mystery. For a rare few, it becomes a doorway into a living spiritual reality that continues long after the body returns to life. In this experiential webinar, Jonathan Van Valin shares the profound awakening that unfolded during his NDE and the unexpected transformation that followed—one that reoriented his priorities, dissolved long-held fears, and opened an enduring connection to the presence of the Divine.
Jonathan’s story is both deeply human and radically transcendent. During his NDE, the sheer intensity of pain—physical, emotional, and existential—was overtaken by something vast, loving, and infinitely peaceful. What should have been unbearable instead became a direct experience of a love deeper than the body, deeper than the mind, and deeper than death. From this, three powerful insights emerged:
(1) that physical pain can be entirely transcended in the dying process—or within life’s most difficult moments,
(2) that this transcendent presence is not special or exclusive, but every person’s natural inheritance, available now, and
(3) that this awareness can be accessed and strengthened in daily life through simple, reliable practices.
This webinar is not just a story—it is an invitation. Attendees will learn two practical methods for connecting to this deeper awareness: Where Is the Love Behind the Love? and Awakening Upside Down, accessible tools that can soften fear, ease suffering, and open a clearer experience of presence, peace, and spiritual resilience. Jonathan will also explore how awakening is not the end of ordinary life, but a way of living within it with greater clarity, compassion, and grounded love.
There will be time for questions, personal reflection, and a closing moment of silent joining—an opportunity to directly feel the field of connection that NDEs so often point toward. Whether you’ve personally had an NDE, are curious about consciousness beyond the body, or are simply seeking a deeper experience of peace in everyday life, this gathering offers both a compelling account and a practical path forward.
About Jonathan
Unlike many NDE’s, Jonathan’s experience of what it was like to be dying (due to complications from a surgical procedure) extended for around 48 hours, which allowed him to revel in the total freedom of the dissolution of “self” for the duration. Despite his body being in severe pain, he experienced a total release from the suffering, and a simultaneous merging with the all-encompassing Divine in which there was no form of lack, or want, or need of any kind; and nothing but perfect peace. As such, there was no fear, but only love. Jonathan’s physical healing from the surgery and return to regular life sparked a ferocious internal drive to reconcile this, and many subsequent spiritual experiences that occurred over the next decade. In these subsequent events, Jonathan experienced the collective trauma of mankind, out of body experiences, past lives, life-reviews of others, and many other moments of dissolution of self that culminated in an allencompassing peace that eventually settled in permanently – yet still in connection with the ups and downs of this human life. This peaceful stillness became the basis from which his life is lived. It is also this peaceful stillness that is shared with others, and from which Jonathan’s intuitive abilities and a healing modality emerged in due course. These days, Jonathan follows the inner prompt to share and invite others into the experience of their own transformations. He has traveled all over the world in answer to this prompt, to work with groups and individuals and is currently working on his first book. Wherever you are in your spiritual journey, Jonathan invites you to this table. Reach out, and Jonathan will make every effort to reach back.
