Death and the work of the Psychopomp
What awaits us after death is one of the greatest mysteries that we can explore during our life. It is also the mystery that each of us, sooner or later, will have to face.
The first step to take to be able to do the work of a Psychopomp, by guiding the souls in their journey, it’s to escape form the self-referencing rhetoric of “having the gift” or of being special at all costs, to enter in a perspective of service and listening.
The destiny and the path after death, the mapping and exploration of the afterworld in the non-ordinary reality and the techniques to spot and help the souls that are asking for our help, are some of the topics on which we will focus during this seminar.
This seminar will be available soon.
The Sacred Dances
