BEYOND THE VEIL
Woodmont Day Camp, New City, NY
July 25th - July 26th
Are you ready to see beyond the veil?
🔹
BEYOND THE VEIL is a two-day immersive journey into death awareness as a pathway to conscious living. Rather than a traditional event, it is a guided passage into a liminal space where death is explored not as an ending, but as a teacher and sacred initiation.
Participants are welcomed by guides, end-of-life doulas, shamans, and elders, and invited to symbolically release everyday identities. Through near-death accounts, ancestral meditations, life review practices, and cross-lineage teachings, you will move through the cosmology of the afterlife as a lived experience.
The second day is devoted to rebirth and integration, gently alchemizing insight into embodied wisdom.
This is not about escaping life. It is about learning to live more fully by befriending death. Those who complete the journey often leave feeling grounded, less fearful, and more prepared to meet their final sacred chapter with openness, trust, and grace.
This event is an initiation into death awareness to discover your true nature… an infinite being.

Cacao Ceremony
Ancestral and Indigenous Meditations
Live Near Death Experience Accounts
Dying Awake & Cosmology of the Afterlife

This Journey Is For You If…
You feel deeply curious about what lies beyond and are called to explore it through direct experience.
You’re already on a spiritual path and sense that awakening comes from embracing the full spectrum of both life and death.
You walk others through death and seek deeper tools to support them and yourself.
