Event Description:
Few people on earth have stood where Dannion Brinkley has stood — and come back to tell the story. After surviving four brushes with death, beginning with a lightning strike that radically transformed his life, Dannion has spent decades exploring what the Near-Death Experience means for all of us: how it has shaped cultures throughout history, and what its lessons hold for the way we live today.
In this event, New York Times best-selling author and internationally respected lecturer Dannion Brinkley will take you on a journey through the cultural legacy of the Near-Death Experience — from ancient civilizations to the modern world — and into the deeply personal revelations that changed his own life forever.
With over 34,000 hours spent at the bedside of those in transition, Dannion brings not only a singular perspective but a profound compassion to everything he shares. This is an evening that will challenge, inspire, and stay with you long after you leave.
