Near Death Experiences: When You Die & Live to Tell About It – Free Online Class
Most of us were taught to treat death as a wall. Yet across cultures and centuries, people who have come close to dying describe something strikingly consistent: expanded awareness, profound love, and a sense that consciousness continues.
When you hold those stories with care, the question shifts. It becomes less about chasing certainty, and more about what helps you live with greater meaning, tenderness, and courage right now.
This gathering offers a grounded space to explore near-death experiences through lived accounts, spiritual insight, and thoughtful conversation. No dogma, no pressure to agree – just an honest inquiry into one of life’s deepest mysteries.
If you’ve been navigating loss, carrying quiet fear, or simply feeling the pull of a bigger view of life, this is an invitation to listen, reflect, and reconnect with what you already sense inside.
Why Attend “Near Death Experiences: When You Die & Live to Tell About It”
Questions about death can feel strangely lonely, which means many people carry them in silence. This conversation gives you a respectful place to explore what near-death experiences suggest about consciousness, and then bring those insights back into everyday life.
Near-death experiences often transform fear into purpose, so you can meet grief, change, and uncertainty with steadier ground beneath you. Hearing multiple perspectives side by side helps you notice patterns, and it also leaves room for what remains mysterious.
When you touch the possibility that love and connection continue, priorities can clarify, so that life feels more precious and more honest. You may come away with language for what you’ve felt privately, and a simple way to integrate it into how you live now.
What You’ll Learn
Let’s begin with the heart of the question, so you can feel your way into it rather than forcing an answer. You’ll hear what people consistently report when consciousness seems to separate from the body, which means you can compare themes across multiple lived experiences.
We’ll explore how these experiences change fear of death into meaning, and then how that shift shows up in real choices, relationships, and values. You’ll also look at where science and spiritual insight intersect, so you can hold both curiosity and discernment at the same time.
As the conversation closes, you’ll have practical ways to integrate what resonates – especially around intuition, connection, and grief. This helps you carry insight into daily life, so that reflection becomes something you can live, not just think about.
Here’s just a little bit of what you’ll learn:
- Common themes people describe during near-death experiences
- How expanded awareness is reported across many NDE accounts
- Why unconditional love is a recurring thread for experiencers
- How fear of death often dissolves after an NDE
- Ways values and life purpose can shift after crossing the threshold
- How intuition and connection can continue beyond physical death
- Where current research is exploring consciousness and mystery remains
- How a life review and interconnectedness can reshape compassion
- How to reframe grief through continuity, meaning, and connection
- Simple integration practices to live with more courage and trust
Who This Is For

- People exploring questions about consciousness and the afterlife
- Anyone moving through loss and seeking reassurance that love continues
- Curious skeptics who want grounded conversation, not dogma

Reviews
“I had the privilege of attending a workshop last evening on Near Death Experiences presented by Jake. He shared his personal experiences from childhood. He led us on a beautiful meditation/visualization. Jake has a very soothing voice. I found the meditation to be profound. Currently, I am going thru treatment for cancer and I was “seeking answers” and emotional support regarding death, and life after life. Jake’s talk was profound and riveting. He was very generous in his sharing. I came away from the experience feeling so comforted and filled. It was all I hoped for. Jake is a wonderful therapist and healer. I am very happy to have been a part of this healing evening.”
“We asked Jake to share his story of his NDE and whilst his story is on a parallel to most experiences of this phenomena, it is his willingness to teach a wider reality and to offer comfort to those living in fear of death and the afterlife that we applaud. His drive and dedication to his message is wonderful and we wish him the best in all is future endeavors and to those souls whom he will touch with his message.”
“Jake Cooper is a brilliant young man who is very willing to share his remarkable and enlightening near death experience as a young boy. I recently attended one of his lectures and thoroughly enjoyed hearing the details he described during his time in the afterlife. I loved Jake’s beautiful and loving energy and I am certain his wisdom will lift anyone’s consciousness in this regard.”
“I have witnessed Jake’s ability to beautifully articulate and answer to the call in his NDE talks on life’s greatest question on What Happens When We Die? As a Professional Medium I am thoroughly impressed by Jake’s ability to provide inspiring and evidential angles into the hereafter from his own profound near death experience that so many of us can truly gain and evolve from. As a Hypnotherapist, I support Jake’s ability to tune into clients areas of desired needed improvements and to empower clients with the tools to change their lives. Jake is also a gifted healer and is very astute in Meditation and providing Mindfulness workshops. If you are interested in having Jake as a lecturer or to have a private session you are making a great choice to take steps forward in evolving and elevating your consciousness as well as the collective consciousness.”
“Susan Grau has a profound gift. During my reading, she knew things that I’d never told anyone before, and she guided me with compassionate understanding to decipher the messages from beyond. My experience with her was deeply life changing. She is a highly compassionate person who uses her wisdom, her insight, her own painful past, her awe-inspiring experiences with angels, her background as a psychologist, and her love of human beings to help others in a way that reaches into a person’s life and changes it forever. Susan’s talent and work are unparalleled. She has turned this doubter into a believer!”
“A reading with Susan is a gift of clarity. It puts you on a path to greater curiosity about our unique experience and reorient you to your purpose. Her insights fuel a feeling of greater support, knowing our ancestors and loved ones are always with us and there when we need it. We are at an incredible time where the conversation is not if you’ll take a step forward to explore a deeper inner world, but how. Let Susan’s gifts be a resource for your journey to a greater understanding of our connectedness and the priceless sense of groundedness in this transformative time moving forward.”
