Near-death experiences feel like journeys through Dreamtime - passages through liminal thresholds of life, death, and mystery. They leave an imprint on the soul. Only now do I understand that my sensitivity and alertness may be the legacy of these encounters, beginning at birth.
The path to wholeness isn’t straight. It asks courage when fear arises, patience when the way is unclear, and compassion for every fragmented part longing to come home.
Peter Levine teaches: how we enter a state is how we exist within it. If trauma was entered through overwhelm, terror, or helplessness, healing often requires re-entering that state differently - not to relive, but to return with presence, safety, and support.
With skillful practitioners, we can have a new experience of what was once unbearable. The nervous system renegotiates what couldn’t be completed, allowing unfinished survival responses to resolve.
Perhaps this is why healing asks us to revisit those liminal places with gentleness. Not because we’re trapped in the past, but because a part of us is still waiting to be met differently - returning to the threshold accompanied, resourced, and held.
Today, I’m grateful for a fourth opportunity to renegotiate these near-death imprints- held in Weggis’s paradise, embraced by mountains, lake, and sky, surrounded by wise healers. A homecoming to familiar faces after two years apart. Healing isn’t erasing what happened, but completing what was interrupted. It is a return to belonging, trust, and oneself.
Each step is a quiet homecoming - from fragmentation toward wholeness, from survival toward aliveness, from death’s edge back into life and light.
Danke schön to my kind Swiss friends for hosting me in your beautiful paradise.
