When Eben Alexander awakened from a 7-day coma due to life-threatening bacterial meningo-encephalitis, the first words he spoke to the family members surrounding his bedside were, “All Is Well.” To the outside world, he had been unresponsive for a week, but on the inside, Eben had memories of an extraordinary journey to the spiritual realm where he was shown the full nature of our reality.
He returned with a greater perspective of challenges we face here on earth, knowing that everything happens for a reason and how these events drive the evolution of humans and all sentient beings. Most
near-death experiencers return with a sense of purpose and mission, and a sense that they play an important role in this world. They are newly equipped to manage challenges with grace from a broader
perspective because they realize that all souls on earth are connected as divine, spiritual beings and each of us is an integral part of unfolding reality.
Most NDErs have encountered a divine presence that reassures them that all is well – everything that happens, even when it seems devastating on the surface, contributes to a higher purpose of which we are all a part. They feel an inherent connection with this force as they return to earth with greater vitality for living the fullest life possible.
Even without a near-death experience, you can come to this understanding that all is well by connecting to inner guidance and knowing your true existence as a spiritual being. By learning safe techniques that can generate some features of NDEs, we can access guidance from within to bring clarity to vexing problems and inspiration for resolution. In this workshop we will use Sacred Acoustics audio recordings to take you through exercises to meet with your council of inner guides, and access the information you
need right now.
Offered as 2 satsangs and 2 workshops (subject to change).

Dr.Eben Alexander III, was an academic neurosurgeon for over 25 years, including 15 years at the Brigham & Women’s Hospital, Children’s Hospital, and Harvard Medical School in Boston. He was once staunchly committed to the materialist world view — the belief that the physical world is all that exists. His scientific belief system was altered by his 2008 transcendental near-death experience (NDE), an odyssey into another realm during a week-long coma. Despite a bleak medical prognosis, Dr. Alexander awoke to make an inexplicable return to full health. His medical case and recovery were validated in the peer-reviewed Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease. Since his NDE, Dr. Alexander has been reconciling his rich spiritual experience with quantum physics, cosmology and the philosophy of mind. Dr. Alexander speaks around the world to educate about the role that consciousness plays in wellness, healing and recovery.
A pioneering scientist and modern thought leader, Dr. Alexander has been featured in more than 400 media interviews including for ABC-TV’s Good Morning America and 20/20, The Dr. Oz Show, Oprah’s Super Soul Sunday, Larry King Now, Fox and Friends, Discovery Channel, Biography Channel and numerous international radio, digital and podcasts. His books are available in more than 40 countries: Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon’s Journey into the Afterlife, The Map of Heaven: How Science, Religion, and Ordinary People Are Proving the Afterlife, and Living in a Mindful Universe: A Neurosurgeon’s Journey into the Heart of Consciousness, co-authored with Sacred Acoustics co-founder Karen Newell.
