In this episode, Ben Gibson is joined by Dr. Jude Neeme-Samson, a spiritual teacher, writer, and scholar, to explore the deep mysteries of death, sacred landscapes, and the journey of the soul. With a background in Christology, Aboriginal ritual, and shamanic practices, Jude offers unique insights into how sacred landscapes shape our understanding of life, death, and what lies beyond.
The discussion delves into the concept of 'sacred maps' inspired by the work of Dr Sarah Kerr, PhD, and how these spiritual frameworks can guide us through death and bereavement. Jude shares his experience as a Deathwalker, his training in Aboriginal and cross-cultural rituals, and stories of supporting individuals.. Together, Ben and Jude discuss the masculine response to death, the transformative power of ritual, and how nature-based spirituality can provide comfort and healing in the face of loss.
