Welcome to another moving episode of "Pillars Of Grief." Today we're delving into a profound journey from a materialist mindset to a belief in the afterlife. With us is the inspiring Laurel Waterman, who will take us through her transformational experiences from the bustling streets of India to the quiet introspection of meditation, and how these laid the groundwork for a seismic shift in her worldview.

In this episode, "Materialist To Believer In An Afterlife," Laurel bravely opens up about her battles with loneliness, attachment, and the crippling fear of loss, which intensified following the tragic accidental death of her beloved husband. As a creative nonfiction writing teacher at the University of Toronto, she sought solace in the academic, until a small penny dated 1976 emerged from the snow, challenging her skepticism and leading her to explore mediumship and past life regressions.

Laurel's scholarly pursuits took a turn into the metaphysical, moving from a staunch materialist approach to embracing post-materialism after compelling encounters at a psychometry workshop and transformative moments of spiritual synchronicity.

Join us as Laurel shares her poignant story that journeys through grief, skepticism, and spiritual awakening, and how it has reshaped her life, her teachings, and her understanding of the connection between this world and the next.
