Events, Lectures & Sharing Circles
Join our compassionate community as we explore life’s greatest mystery through dialogue, research, and shared understanding.
Creating Sacred Spaces for Understanding
Death touches every life — yet it remains one of our least discussed experiences. Our events bring together researchers, authors, caregivers, and the general public to share insights, stories, and compassion.
Through lectures, online cafés, and small community circles, we create safe, welcoming spaces to explore what lies beyond life.
Join us as we exchange ideas, deepen understanding, and help make dying sacred again.

Events
Death is not the End – Online Launch
This online event introduces Death is Not the End, an international initiative exploring scientific and spiritual perspectives on the continuity of consciousness beyond death. Leading experts share insights from research and lived experience to challenge long-held fears and assumptions.
Through brief presentations and a live Q&A, the event invites open, thoughtful discussion on near-death experiences, after-death communication, terminal lucidity, mediumship, and reincarnation. A recording will be made available for those unable to attend live.
William Peters & Monica Williams - Suffering into Gold - Film Screening and Panel Discussion, 24th February 2026
This heartwarming, award-winning short film presents Paul Gralen who, when diagnosed with ALS, makes the brave decision to use legally available methods to end his own life.
Beth Orr, his wife, reaches out to William Peters, founder of the Shared Crossing Project, for assistance in manifesting a shared death experience (SDE) and engages in a process that enables a conscious, connected, and loving end-of-life experience.
Following the screening, Dr. Monica Williams, Medical Director of the Shared Crossing Project, and William Peters, Founder of the Shared Crossing Project, will interview Beth Orr about her bedside experiences, including her SDE.

Together in Understanding
Death may be the most universal human experience, yet it remains shrouded in silence and fear. Through our events, we break that silence with compassion, curiosity, and courage.
Every conversation, every shared story, every moment of connection brings us closer to understanding
the profound mystery of consciousness beyond the physical realm.
Join us in creating a world where death is no longer feared, but understood as part of the sacred
journey of existence.
