Beyond Extraordinary Experiences with Dr Nicole Gruel
(15 July 2018)
When Nicole was 14 years old she had a near-death experience by drowning whilst white water rafting in New Zealand. In the following 6 months she lost three family members, including her father, all at separate times. She later came to understand these death experiences as a type of initiation into the non-ordinary realms. Although she was far too young at the time to understand and process all that grief, it nonetheless became a formative time and key to experiences that followed.
Since that time Nicole has spent over two decades exploring other realities, human potential and how ordinary people deal with extraordinary experiences.
