Remembering What We Are: Near-Death Experiences and the Nature of Consciousness

In this episode, Dr. Natasha Tassell-Matamua shares a near-death experience that opened into a deeper understanding of consciousness, connection, and what continues beyond the physical body.But this is more than a conversation. It is an invitation into direct experience.Together, we move beneath the surface of thought and into a quieter space of knowing — where the boundaries between self and world begin to soften. Through her work, and through Indigenous perspectives on interconnectedness, Natasha gently points toward a deeper layer of reality that is always here, but often unnoticed.Along the way, she offers simple, grounded ways of reconnecting — including a practice of relating to a single living plant — not as an idea, but as a felt experience of connection.This episode is not about understanding something new.It is about remembering what has always been here.If you allow it, this conversation may take you somewhere deeper — into a space where separation begins to dissolve, and something quietly familiar begins to return.This episode touches on near-death experiences with care. It is not an invitation to move toward death, but a reflection on what these moments can reveal about being fully alive, connected, and present here.
