Beneath the fear of death is often a deeper longing to understand what truly happens when consciousness begins to move beyond the body.
If you’ve experienced a loss that still lingers in your heart, are supporting someone through illness or the dying process, are facing your own mortality, or simply feel called to understand death through a more spiritual and expansive lens…
… you may sense that there’s something profoundly important hidden within this threshold that modern culture rarely teaches us how to approach.
End-of-life doula Felicity Warner affirms that death isn’t a disappearance of consciousness at all, but an alchemical transition — a sacred movement from matter into spirit in which the senses themselves become portals, guiding the soul through transformation.
Join Felicity for a deeply experiential 7-week journey, where you’ll explore how the senses can help cultivate peace, presence, and connection — and transform your relationship with life, loss, and transition itself…
… not only during the dying process, but throughout grief, uncertainty, emotional overwhelm, caregiving, and major life change.
Felicity has spent decades accompanying people through the dying process and witnessing extraordinary experiences that reveal themselves again and again at the threshold between worlds.
Through her grounded yet deeply spiritual approach, she teaches that hearing, sight, touch, scent, taste, and intuition are not simply physical functions, but sacred bridges between the visible and invisible realms.
Through beautifully visceral guided meditations, sacred oil rituals, contemplative practices, sound journeys, sensory awareness exercises, visualization, and intuitive exploration, you’ll come to see death and transition as a profound expansion of awareness and presence.
You’ll create an inner “sacred vessel” for transformation, explore sound and vibration as companions through transition, work with sacred touch and scent as bridges between worlds, and deepen your trust in intuition, surrender, and the unseen dimensions of consciousness.
Most importantly, you’ll be guided into direct experience of the transformative power of these practices within your own body and awareness…
… allowing you to personally feel the calming and healing recognition that when fear of death begins to soften, life itself becomes more vivid, meaningful, peaceful, and precious.
As you continue your own inner and spiritual journey, you’re invited to go deeper into a compassionate understanding of death that can help illuminate unresolved grief, soften fear-based conditioning, and reconnect you with the deeper intelligence of your soul.
Are you ready to view death not as an ending to fear, but as a sacred return to light, presence, and the deeper mystery of who you truly are?

In this 7-week transformational course, Felicity will guide you through the skills and competencies you’ll need to learn how to meet death, loss, and life’s transitions with greater peace, trust, and spiritual presence by working consciously with the wisdom of the senses, the body, and the soul.
You’ll connect with Felicity and experience her teachings through livestreaming video via any connected device. This connection is easy to use and will enhance the impact of Felicity’s transmissions.

Each session will build harmoniously upon the previous ones, so you’ll develop a complete holistic understanding of the practices, tools, and principles you’ll need to feel greater peace, emotional ease, and spiritual reassurance around death ,helping you live with more presence, trust, and freedom.

This opening module invites you into a profound reorientation with death - not as an ending to fear, but as a sacred process of transformation, soul ripening, and return to essence. Felicity will help you begin creating an inner "sacred vessel" capable of holding the subtle alchemy of dissolution and becoming, while exploring how the senses themselves can become portals into deeper awareness, presence, and connection with the unseen.
Through teachings, reflection, sacred oil anointing, and guided contemplative practices, you'll begin to soften the rigid boundaries of identity and experience death as a shift in vibration rather than a final loss. You'll also explore how cultural conditioning shapes your relationship with death - and how many wisdom traditions view dying as an initiation, a passage, and a return to light. As this journey begins, you may find yourself relating to endings with greater reverence, spaciousness, and trust in the continuity that exists beyond the physical body.
In this session, you'll:

Move beyond ordinary sight and into the awakening of inner vision, where perception expands beyond the physical eyes into intuition, awareness, and soul-level knowing. Felicity will guide you through teachings and contemplative practices exploring how imagery, dreams, memory, and symbolic perception often intensify during the dying process, revealing the senses as bridges between the physical and nonphysical worlds.
Through a gentle third-eye anointing ritual and Inner Light meditation, you'll begin cultivating a deeper relationship with the subtle images, impressions, and inner landscapes that arise from within. Rather than judging or clinging to these experiences, you'll learn how to witness them with compassion and spacious awareness, allowing deeper truth and healing to emerge.
In this session, you'll:

Explore sound as a sacred companion through the dying process, discovering how hearing can become a bridge between the physical and nonphysical worlds. Felicity will guide you through teachings and embodied practices that reveal how voice, music, vibration, mantra, and silence can shape consciousness, soothe the nervous system, and support the soul's transition beyond the body.
Through a gentle ear anointing ritual and immersive sound journey, you'll begin experiencing listening not simply as hearing words, but as attunement to resonance, presence, and energetic connection. You'll also explore the power of conscious language and soundscapes, learning how carefully chosen tones, music, and spoken presence can create comfort, orientation, and peace at the threshold of death.
In this session, you'll:

Enter the evocative world of scent, breath, and memory, where fragrance becomes a subtle yet powerful bridge between body, emotion, spirit, and the unseen dimensions of awareness. Felicity will guide you through teachings and sensory practices that reveal how smell bypasses the thinking mind, awakening embodied memory, calming the nervous system, and reconnecting you with presence through the rhythm of the breath.
Through sacred oils, anointing rituals, and guided meditation, you'll discover how scents such as frankincense, rose, lavender, myrrh, and spikenard have long been used across spiritual traditions to support transition, soften fear, and create a sense of connection beyond the visible world. You'll also explore breath itself as a sacred portal of surrender - where each inhale invites awareness and each exhale supports release.
In this session, you'll:

Savor the deeper essence of your life through contemplative practices that invite reflection, gratitude, and emotional integration at the threshold of transition. Felicity will guide you through teachings and experiential exercises that explore taste as both a physical and symbolic sense, revealing how life itself is slowly received, digested, and distilled into meaning over time.
Through mindful tasting rituals, reflective meditation, and a moving "Last Supper" contemplation, you'll begin exploring what truly nourishes the soul, what's ready to be released, and what remains essential when the details of life begin to fade. You'll also discover gratitude as a powerful alchemical force capable of softening regret, reconciling difficult experiences, and creating a deeper sense of peace with your life as it has been lived.
In this session, you'll:

Feel the role of touch, presence, and embodied connection as you explore the body not as something separate from the sacred, but as the threshold through which transition unfolds. Felicity will guide you through somatic practices, anointing rituals, and contemplative exercises that reveal how conscious touch can create safety, regulate the nervous system, soften fear, and support the process of letting go when words are no longer needed.
Through meditation and sensory awareness practices, you'll begin discovering how the body communicates through sensation, how loving touch can help release physical and emotional holding, and how gentle presence can support both the dying and those accompanying them. You'll also explore ancient understandings of touch as a bridge between the physical and spiritual worlds - from holding hands and feet to the sacred intelligence carried through the fingertips and heart.
In this session, you'll:

Complete your journey by entering the subtle realm of intuition, where awareness expands beyond the physical senses into direct knowing, presence, and trust in the unseen. Felicity will guide you through contemplative teachings, sacred practices, and immersive meditation designed to help you strengthen your connection with the wisdom of the soul and the intuitive guidance that naturally emerges during the dying process.
Through reflection on signs, symbols, dreams, inner visions, and felt perception, you'll begin exploring how intuition can become a steady companion at the threshold between worlds, offering reassurance, orientation, and deeper trust in what lies beyond the known. You'll also discover surrender not as defeat, but as a softening into the natural intelligence already guiding the process of transition. As this final week unfolds, the journey through the senses gathers into a spacious experience of openness, trust, and profound connection with the mystery that holds both life and death.
In this session, you'll:
