Join us for a webinar discussion of after death communication with Scott Janssen.

Have you ever been “visited” or received some kind of “message” from someone you love who had died? If so, you have plenty of company. Research suggests that between 30% and 50% of us will have some kind of after death communication (ADC) at some point in our lives.

These “visits” occur in many forms, including seeing a deceased person or sensing their presence, hearing a voice or feeling a touch, and symbolic events such as usual animal behavior, electronic activity, or a particular song coming on the radio that feels synchronized and associated with a loved one in a way that is beyond mere coincidence.

Despite being common, and the fact that such communications are often meaningful and profound to those who report them, many hesitate to discuss them for fear of having an important experience dismissed, or worry about what others will think.

What do these experiences look like? Where do they come from? How can we normalize them among those who are grieving so they can be shared without fear of ridicule?

Join us for an exploration and discussion of after death communication.

Scott Janssen, MA, MSW, LCSW has been a hospice social worker for over thirty years and has written  about ADC and other end-of-life transpersonal experiences like near death experiences (NDEs), and end-of-life dreams and visions (ELDVs).  He has spoken at events hosted by the International Association for Near-Death Studies and is a founding member of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization’s End-of-Life Trauma-Informed Care Workgroup. He has been interviewed by CNN, Wall Street Journal, and Social Work Today. His writing has appeared in HuffPost, Washington Post, Readers Digest, and the Journal of Palliative Medicine.  His novel, Light Keepers, draws on his work as a hospice social worker and his ongoing fascination with experiences like ADC, NDEs, and ELDVs.

This program will be recorded. A link to the recording will be shared with everyone who registers.
