Dreaming with the Departed
A Seneca Indian prophet observed that “the dimension that divides the living from the dead is exactly as wide as the edge of a maple leaf.”
We’ll learn that:
- Dream encounters with the departed are entirely natural.
- Dreaming is the easiest form of communication with the Other Side, and it gives us a direct line.
- Dreams of the departed give us first-hand knowledge of life beyond death.
- Departed friends or ancestors may come to play the role of personal angels, passing on life-helping counsel and psychic information.
- Dreams show us when the departed need help from us, because they are lost or confused, mired in old addictions and attachments – or do not even realize that they have died.
- Dreamwork with the dying can help prepare them for the big journey and provides clarity and courage for approaching the last stages of life as an opportunity for growth, resolving unfinished business and healing old wounds.

The departed make visitations in our dreams. We can also visit them in their own realm.

This may be a departed friend or loved one who has appeared to you in a dream, or an ancestor from further back. You may choose to use a personal dream as the portal for the journey. You will also be invited to use group portals that have opened the way for previous travelers.
You will:
- Learn how to use a personal dream or memory as a portal for a journey to the Other Side
- Experiment with portals for the crossing used by previous journeyers
- Open helpful and timely communication with a departed loved one or ancestor
- Learn about conditions in the afterlife as they experience them
- Awaken to the fact that more than one aspect of energy and consciousness survives death, and that different aspects require different treatment
- Discover, as Yeats instructed, that “the living have the ability to assist the imaginations of the dead”
- Remember that healing and forgiveness are always available across the apparent barrier of death
- Confirm that dreaming is the best preparation for dying

Spiritualist Women: The First Feminists
The history of the National Women’s Association has all but written Spiritualist women out of their history. But the truth is that Spiritualist women were the catalyst for early Feminists to find their voice and social change to occur. The initial Seneca Falls Women’s Rights Convention held in 1848 laid out the women’s sentiments for equality, but no advancements were made until Spiritualist women stepped onto the platform. This lecture discusses the impact Spiritualist women had on the women’s rights movement by giving women a power and authority that Victorian women had never experienced before.
