Spiritual Counselling Certification - Embracing the Passage: Exploring Death and Beyond. is a course that beautifully illustrates death serves as the threshold to a richer experience, where profound understanding and universal truths await. By attuning ourselves to this truth, we discover there is nothing to fear in the transition from one realm to another. It offers practical wisdom for the journey home.

Life's endeavours culminate in a full spectrum of experiences, each contributing to our growth and fulfilment. Passing from this life to the next is simply a part of this journey, an essential final sprint before reaching the ultimate prize.

The concluding moments of our earthly existence hold their own significance, offering unique rewards as we near the end of our earthly journey. Transitioning from one world to the next is a profoundly significant time, allowing us to shed earthly attachments and awaken to a greater understanding.

With trust in the process, we can approach this transition with joy. As souls transition into the realm of spirit, they regain their full awareness and understanding, embracing the choices made in their earthly lifetime. In this transition, we witness the true extent of our learning and progress.

Surrounded by compassion and understanding, we can accept this transition without judgment or disappointment. Such acceptance is attainable when we relinquish the influence of our human weaknesses and embrace the natural progression of life.

Testimonial

This has been the most transformative course I have ever undertaken, both personally and professionally. It took me far outside my comfort zone, but it was exactly what I needed to change the course of my life and career. I never knew how much I needed something like this until I found it. My intuition led me here, and as they say, intuition always guides you to where you're meant to be!

The course is a beautiful blend of mind, body, and spirit, and it’s wonderfully supported every step of the way. I’ve found answers to lifelong struggles that other professionals couldn’t even begin to address, and who told me I couldn’t rely on hope. This journey has been nothing short of amazing, and I’m so grateful I took the leap of faith to follow my heart’s calling to connect with Elizabeth, she is an incredible teacher and mentor.
