Robert Moss
Have you already visited the afterlife without realizing it?
Develop Active Dreaming and psychopomp practices to explore the realms beyond the body, assist the departed, support the living, and prepare for the journey beyond this life.
Society is desperately in need of people who are prepared to help midwife Death — to help others approach the last stages of life, and the journey into life beyond life, with courage and grace.
The role of the psychopomp is not confined to helping the living travel the roads beyond Death. It involves helping spirits of the deceased find their ways.
This extraordinary training marries the powerful and original techniques of Active Dreaming — Robert Moss’ original synthesis of dreamwork and shamanism — with a vitally important purpose…
… helping both the living and the departed navigate Death, dying, and the journey between worlds.
Through Active Dreaming, you’ll learn to work consciously with your dreams as doorways to realities beyond the physical world — using dream journeys, conscious encounters, and shamanic techniques to explore the afterlife, communicate with the departed, and develop your own firsthand knowledge of what lies beyond.
It will require you to be brave enough to explore a close encounter with your own Death, and to travel the roads of the afterlife and develop a working geography of the many options available after physical Death.
What happens after Death is far too important for us to rely on hand-me-down beliefs and second-hand accounts. We need firsthand knowledge.
We get that by visiting places where the dead are alive, and by receiving visitations from those who have departed this world. Both ways of knowing are opened, easily and naturally, in dreams.
The immense body of data on near-Death experiences (NDEs) is scientific evidence of the survival of consciousness after the physical body has closed down. Awareness is not confined to the body and brain, and therefore is able to survive Death.
It is never too early or too late for us to brave up to Death and discover what happens on the Other Side.
As Montaigne said, “We do not know where Death will meet us, so we must be ready to meet Death everywhere.”
When we are willing to meet Death as an ally instead of a dread, we find we have superabundant energy for life and can approach our life choices with the courage and clarity that a close encounter with Death may bring.
In this training, you will learn how to confirm for yourself, and help others to know that:
- Healing and forgiveness are always available across the apparent barrier of Death
- Departed loved ones and ancestors can become family guides and counselors
- We can help the deceased when they are stuck or confused — as Yeats said, with poetic clarity, “the living have the ability to assist the imaginations of the dead”
- Consciousness operates on many levels, and in several energy vehicles, during life and after Death
- We can assist the dying to prepare for Death by opening to their dreams, and when they do not have a dream, we can bring them one through our Dream Transfer technique
- We can call in spiritual guidance and protection and embark on a journey to the Other Side for helpful and timely communication with someone who resides there
- Desire and imagination are the building contractors in the afterlife
- Through a close-up encounter with our personal Death, we can learn to live and die without regrets, and bring clarity, courage, and superabundant energy to life on both sides
Who This Training Program Is For
This training is for you if you feel called to explore dreaming, Death, and the afterlife through direct experience — whether you want to deepen your own relationship with the departed, prepare yourself more consciously for the journey beyond this life, or develop the capacity to guide and support others.
You don’t need previous experience with Active Dreaming, shamanic journeying, or psychopomp work. Robert will guide you step by step as you develop practices for conscious dream travel, spirit communication, navigating the Otherworld, and approaching Death with greater courage and grace.
This training may be especially meaningful for:
- Dreamers and lucid dreamers who want to travel more consciously in dreams and explore their potential as gateways to other realities
- People who have dreamed of departed loved ones and want to better understand these encounters, deepen communication, and explore possibilities for healing, forgiveness, and continued connection
- People navigating grief or loss who feel drawn to explore how relationships with those they love may continue beyond physical Death
- Spiritual seekers and explorers of consciousness who want firsthand experience of the soul, spirit, the Otherworld, and the larger reality beyond ordinary perception
- Aspiring and experienced psychopomps who feel called to help departed souls who may be lost, confused, burdened by unfinished business, or in need of guidance
- End-of-life doulas, hospice workers, caregivers, and healing practitioners who want additional ways to help others approach Death with courage, grace, and spiritual support
- Mediums, intuitives, shamans, and energy practitioners who want to deepen their discernment and expand their ability to communicate and journey across worlds
- Anyone seeking a more courageous relationship with Death who wants to make Death an ally, reconsider what truly matters, and live this life more fully and without regrets
- And anyone who senses that dreaming may offer a doorway into a larger story of who we are, where we come from, and where we go next

Program Details & Curriculum
Course Sessions are on 2026-10-22 9:00:00 am.
This program will feature LIVE teachings, interactive sessions, experiential journeys, shamanic practices, and Q&A with Robert. Across 18 modules, you’ll move from learning the foundational practices of Active Dreaming to exploring the Other Side for yourself, communicating with the departed, assisting souls who may need help, and ultimately developing the skills to help others approach Death with greater courage and grace.
The program begins by establishing the foundations for safe, conscious exploration beyond the boundaries of ordinary reality. You’ll create a personal place of sanctuary and vision, learn Robert’s core techniques of Active Dreaming, work with lucid and liminal states, and call in guidance, blessing, and protection as you begin journeying between worlds.
From there, your training unfolds through several interconnected stages:
1: Communicating With the Departed
Explore why the dead come calling, learn to discern different kinds of encounters, reenter dreams to continue conversations, and discover opportunities for healing, forgiveness, guidance, and co-creation across the apparent barrier of Death
2: Exploring the Otherworld
Draw from ancient traditions, firsthand accounts, and maps of the afterlife as you journey across waters, take soul flight, enter the astral realm of the Moon, pass through Dante’s Gate, and explore what may await during the first transitions after Death
3: Becoming a Psychopomp
Learn how to recognize when departed souls may be lost, confused, burdened by unfinished business, or unable to move on — and explore compassionate ways to call in guidance, assist their imaginations, facilitate forgiveness and farewell, and help them find their way
4: Preparing Yourself and Others for the Journey
Face Death on its own ground and discover how making Death an ally can bring greater courage and purpose to the life you’re living now, while learning to use Active Dreaming to help others approach Death with courage and grace
5: Exploring the Larger Journey of the Soul
Travel into the space between lives, reconnect with your soul family, explore the choices that may precede incarnation, and rise toward the perspective of the Higher Self or Oversoul to gain a more spacious view of your life across time and worlds
Throughout the training, you won’t simply study ideas about Death and the afterlife — you’ll be invited to explore these realms through direct experience. With Robert’s guidance and the aid of practices, including dream reentry, lucid dreaming, shamanic drumming, meditation, ritual, and conscious journeying, you’ll develop your own maps and relationships with the worlds beyond the physical.
By the end of this journey, you’ll have a richer set of practices for approaching Death, dreaming, and the Other Side with courage and curiosity — while cultivating your capacity to communicate across worlds, assist the departed, support others facing Death, and live this life with a deeper awareness of the larger reality in which it unfolds.
Open the Dream Gate & Call in Guidance and Protection (2026-10-22 9:00:00 am)
You'll begin by exploring where you must go for reliable evidence of life after Death. You'll survey the rich world literature of ecstatic journeys and near-Death experiences and discover that the human belief that consciousness survives the body – and the architecture of heavens and hells and other collective situations in the afterlife – is founded on shamanic experience and personal dreams, in which the departed come calling or the dreamer travels beyond the body.
Shamans are the original scientists of the afterlife, the once and future masters of this field. Real shamans have died and come back. They have firsthand knowledge of what lies beyond the gates of Death and can return intentionally through those gates to communicate with the spirits, to guide and relocate souls. However, the Amazonian people, the Kagwahiv, say, "anyone who dreams is a little bit shaman."
In this session, you'll:
- Establish a base camp, a place of sanctuary and vision, for your deepening journeys into the larger reality
- Go through high-octane induction into core techniques of Active Dreaming, Robert's original synthesis of dreamwork and shamanism
- Break a dream drought and obtain the sovereign remedy for nightmares
- Call in guidance, blessing, and protection for encounters with ancestors and journeys to the Other Side
Lucid and Liminal Dreaming to Consciously Travel Between Worlds (2026-10-29 9:00:00 am)
The easiest way to become a lucid dreamer is to start out conscious and stay that way as the action unfolds. The liminal space between sleep and awake is prime time for contact with spirits of the departed and spiritual guides. A remembered dream or personal image can become an ideal portal for a lucid dream adventure.
Robert will show you how to use a dream as a doorway through which you can travel — in shamanic lucid dreaming — into a deeper space where lost souls may be found and relocated, on either side of Death. You'll discover how to work consciously in these in-between states to deepen spirit communication and expand your capacity for lucid dream travel.
In this session, you'll:
- Journey through the portal of a dream or personal image with the aid of shamanic drumming, as Robert guides you into a deeper space for conscious exploration
- Use the liminal space of hypnagogia between sleep and awake for horizontal meditation and conscious dreaming
- Open to psychic intuition and spirit communication in the half-dream, when contact with the departed and spiritual guides may arise naturally
- Embark on mutual adventures in lucid dreaming with partners, exploring the possibilities of shared conscious dream experiences
- Reenter a dream and renew communication with a dream character who may be a departed family member or spirit ally
Thirteen Reasons Our Dead Come Calling & How to Deepen Your Connection With Them (2026-11-05 9:00:00 am)
"The dimension that separates the living from the dead is exactly as wide as the edge of a maple leaf," said Handsome Lake, the Seneca prophet.
Robert teaches that we have entirely natural communication with the departed in our dreams. The departed may appear because they haven't really left, because they come visiting, or because in dreaming we enter their realms.
These encounters can offer important opportunities for healing, closure, forgiveness, and guidance. You'll learn to discern the nature of these encounters and discover how dreams can become portals for further communication with the departed.
In this session, you'll:
- Use a dream of the departed as a portal for further communication, as Robert guides you in exploring how you can consciously continue the connection
- Discern whether the appearance of a deceased person in a dream is a transpersonal encounter or a projection of an aspect of yourself, helping you better understand what you're experiencing
- Explore the 13 main reasons our dead come calling and what their appearances may reveal about the nature and purpose of your encounters
- Learn to welcome the departed when they're ready to play counselors and family angels, opening to the guidance and support they may bring
- Construct simple rituals to honor the departed and facilitate helpful contact when desired, giving you meaningful ways to nurture your connection
Talk to the Dead for Healing, Forgiveness & Co-Creation (2026-11-12 9:00:00 am)
If you dream of someone who is deceased, you may be able to reenter the dream and continue the conversation. If your departed are near or have come to visit, you can make a space for them in your life, sit down with a cup of tea or a glass of wine, and talk. There may be things they need you to do for them, or things you'd like them to do for you, opening countless opportunities for healing and co-creation.
Robert has experienced this himself, including when the dead poet W. B. Yeats — or a guide wearing his mask — became his guide to the Other Side while he was writing The Dreamer's Book of the Dead. You'll discover how healing and forgiveness may remain available across the barrier of Death while learning to discern which level of the departed you're dealing with.
In this session, you'll:
- Reenter a dream encounter with the departed to continue a conversation and explore what healing, guidance, or co-creation may still be possible
- Learn to communicate with ancestral spirits of the land, expanding your relationships with the unseen presences connected to place
- Compose letters to the dead to express what remains unsaid, ask for what you need, or open a pathway toward healing and forgiveness
- Discover how to invite the departed to join you for a chat, creating space for natural, direct communication in everyday life
- Develop greater discernment about which level of the departed you're dealing with, so you can navigate encounters with greater awareness and confidence
Explore Soul, Spirit & Dead Teachers to Navigate the Otherworld (2026-11-19 9:00:00 am)
Paleopsychology is the ancient understanding of soul and spirit, and Robert offers a crash course informed by his personal dialogues with master teachers speaking from outside time. At its core is the understanding that soul journeying, or dream travel, is a key to the spirit world and knowledge of ultimate reality.
You'll explore the ancient view that the soul can make excursions outside the body in dreams and visions and that people may have more than one soul. Robert will help you distinguish the vital soul, the "free soul" associated with the dreambody, and the enduring spirit whose home is on the higher planes. You'll discover why the heart of spiritual practice is learning to shift consciousness at will and step in and out of the Otherworld.
In this session, you'll:
- Practice shifting your consciousness to step in and out of the Otherworld, exploring soul journeying and dream travel as pathways into the spirit world
- Explore Robert's core teaching that spirits are real and consider what this understanding can mean for your relationship with dreams, Death, and the unseen
- Discover how the soul makes excursions outside the body in dreams and visions, giving you a framework for understanding your own experiences of dream travel
- Learn to distinguish the vital soul, the traveling "free soul," and the enduring spirit, and explore how different aspects of soul and spirit may go to different places at Death
- Explore how souls — or pieces of soul — can be lost or stolen, and why ancient traditions regard soul loss as a principal cause of disease and misfortune
Explore Reports From the Other Side to Deepen Your Understanding of the Afterlife (2026-12-03 9:00:00 am)
The great Victorian ghost hunters, including William James, journalist W. T. Stead, and the founders of the Society for Psychical Research, were committed to proving the survival of consciousness after physical Death. They studied "phantasms of the living" as well as spirits of the dead, assembling a treasury of data for those seeking solid evidence that the soul isn't confined to the body.
Members of this scholarly fraternity promised each other that when they died, they would report back from the Other Side with firsthand accounts of conditions there. They delivered through channeled books that offer illuminating accounts of afterlife transitions and higher levels of awareness. Robert will guide you through these reports and what they may reveal about mediumship, dreaming, and the continuing journey of consciousness after Death.
In this session, you'll:
- Explore accounts from the Other Side as doorways into the experience of life beyond physical Death, as Robert guides you through reports from pioneering researchers of consciousness
- Investigate ghosts of the living and ghosts of the dead and what these phenomena may suggest about consciousness beyond the physical body
- Discover conditions for effective mediumship with the dead, drawing on the experiences and investigations of pioneering psychical researchers
- Explore W. T. Stead's description of afterlife transitions following his Death on the Titanic and F. W. H. Myers's account of transitions to higher levels of awareness
- Examine William James's postmortem thoughts on the importance of dreaming, as channeled by Jane Roberts, and what they may reveal about dreams as a bridge between worlds
Journey Through Death & Rebirth With the Goddess for Healing & Soul Remembering (2026-12-10 9:00:00 am)
You're invited to journey from your own Tree of Vision to a place of sanctuary, healing, and initiation into the mysteries of Death and rebirth. You'll enter a tomb that is also a womb, opening yourself to deep healing and soul remembering in the embrace of Ancient Mother.
Robert will guide you in opening a personal gate to Ancient Mother while connecting or reconnecting with animal guardians, including beloved animals who have shared your home life. You'll discover portals to ancestors of other times and deepen your relationships with helping spirits in animal form. Through these encounters, you can grow a personal place of sanctuary, vision, and rendezvous with spirits of the Earth and the ancestors.
In this session, you'll:
- Journey from your Tree of Vision into a tomb that is also a womb, where Robert will guide you into a place of sanctuary, deep healing, and soul remembering in the embrace of Ancient Mother
- Grow a place of sanctuary, vision, and rendezvous where you can connect with spirits of the Earth and the ancestors

- Reconnect with beloved animals who have shared your life and go exploring with them, discovering how your relationship may continue beyond physical Death
Cross the Waters to the Other Side for Connection, Guidance & Discovery (2026-12-17 9:00:00 am)
Across cultures, a crossing by water is a favorite image for destination travel to the afterlife in many world traditions. Pharaoh travels in the Boat of Ra, ancient Greeks pay the boatman to cross the River Styx, and a Byzantine poem celebrates a saint "sailing for a little while" before coming to anchor in "the great harbor of heaven." Tennyson's "Crossing the Bar," written under the shadow of his own Death, beautifully describes the soul casting off for another world, while South Pacific island peoples instruct the dying to follow a pattern of islands to a happy place.
Robert will introduce you to these and other traditions of the soul's journey across the waters and Celtic Imrama, tales of voyages to the Otherworld. You'll draw inspiration from these ancient maps as you journey across the waters yourself and begin making new maps of the Other Side.
In this session, you'll:
- Journey over water to the Other Side as Robert guides you in seeking timely and helpful communication with the departed
- Hear, reflect, and meditate on traditions of the soul's journey by water, discovering how cultures around the world have envisioned passage to the afterlife
- Explore Celtic Imrama, tales of voyages to the Otherworld, and what these ancient journeys can teach you about navigating beyond the familiar
- Discover how images of boats, rivers, islands, and open waters can become maps for the soul's journey, expanding your understanding of passage between worlds
- Make new maps of the Other Side informed by ancient traditions and your own direct experiences
Take Flight From Silver Airport to Explore the Otherworld (2027-01-07 9:00:00 am)
Taking flight to heaven is a preferred option for shamans and initiates in many traditions. In ancient India, the soul traveler mounts "the steed of the wind," while a Tibetan master today says that advanced dreamers can earn an upgrade on their flights to the Pure Lands.
Robert will introduce you to several traditions of soul flight to the afterlife, from the Egyptian spell for rising as a bird to Daoist traditions of crane riders. You'll also explore maps of the Otherworld, including Sri Yukteswar's astral atlas, presented to his disciple Paramahamsa Yogananda when he visited after his Death. You'll then make a shamanic journey to a very special airport in the imaginal realm that can become your personal base for destination travel to other worlds and rehearsal for the afterDeath journey.
In this session, you'll:
- Make a shamanic journey to Silver Airport, as Robert guides you in visiting and helping to build a personal base for interdimensional travel and rehearsal for the afterDeath journey
- Learn the Egyptian spell for rising as a bird, exploring an ancient tradition for taking flight beyond the physical world
- Study Daoist traditions of crane riders and discover another ancient map for soul flight and travel between worlds
- Explore Sri Yukteswar's astral atlas, presented to Paramahamsa Yogananda after his guru's Death, for insights into the landscapes of the Otherworld
- Discover traditions of soul flight from across cultures to expand your understanding of how dreamers, shamans, and initiates have envisioned journeys to the afterlife
Enter Dante's Gate to Meet the Beloved of Your Soul (2027-01-14 9:00:00 am)
Dante's Divine Comedy is a great mythic tour of the afterlife from the heart of Western literature. Freeing key passages from the medieval history of theology while still being stirred by the poetry, Robert will guide you in following the journey of the soul, aided by dreams and an ancestral guide, through the gate of Purgatory and toward an encounter with the beloved of the soul.
Like Dante, you'll climb three great steps to the angelic gatekeeper, facing yourself as you truly are, looking into the dark side of yourself and your soul history, and seeking the sacrifice you'll make for your spiritual quest. You only gain admission when you knock on your heart. From there, you'll be invited to scale the soul mountain to meet the Soul of your Soul as she chooses to appear to you.
In this session, you'll:
- Journey through Dante's Gate and scale the soul mountain, powered by shamanic drumming, to meet the Soul of your Soul as she chooses to appear to you
- Look in a mirror and face yourself as you truly are, exploring all your aspects as you take the first great step toward the angelic gatekeeper
- Look through the crack into the dark side of yourself and your soul history, taking the second step on your journey
- Seek, in the color of blood, the sacrifice you'll make for your spiritual quest, completing the third great step to the gate
- Knock on your heart to gain admission and follow the journey of the soul toward an encounter with the beloved of the soul
Make Death Your Ally to Live With Greater Courage & Purpose (2027-01-21 9:00:00 am)
You'll be challenged to reach into the place of your deepest fears, face Death on its own ground, and revalue your life and its purpose from this perspective. When you "brave up" enough to confront your personal Death and receive its teaching.
Robert teaches that you can forge an alliance that becomes a source of power and healing in every aspect of life. A close encounter with Death can bring courage, which Rollo May identified in The Courage to Create as the heart of the creative endeavor. It can encourage you to go beyond the surface vicissitudes of daily life and bring keen awareness of a larger reality. By honoring Death as an ally, you'll have the opportunity to reconsider how you're living now and what you may need to change to move forward without regrets.
In this session, you'll:
- Encounter your personal Death and receive its teaching, as Robert guides you in facing Death on its own ground and discovering how this encounter can become a source of courage, power, and healing
- Experience the Weighing of the Heart to take stock of your life from a deeper perspective
- Determine what you need to do to move on without regrets, bringing greater awareness to the choices and priorities that matter most
- Renegotiate your present life contract in light of what your encounter with Death reveals about your life and its purpose
- Honor Death as an ally and discover how greater awareness of Death can help you go beyond the surface vicissitudes of daily life and live with greater courage
Help the Dead Find Their Way to Healing, Forgiveness & Release (2027-01-28 9:00:00 am)
The deceased may need help and guidance from us because they have unfinished business, are lost or confused, are crippled by guilt, or are unable to detach from old environments and addictions. Many dead people may hang around the living because they don't know they're dead. In such cases, as Yeats observed, the living may be able to "assist the imaginations of the dead."
Robert will explore how you may be called on to provide or arrange rehab and escort services for the departed, while developing rituals to separate and safely contain heavy energy that has remained with the living in ways that are unhealthy for all involved.

Fly to the Moon to Explore the Mysteries of the Astral Realm (2027-02-04 9:00:00 am)
For the ancients, the astral realm of the Moon is where spirits take on subtle bodies before entering their mothers' bodies in the physical world. It's also a space to which spirits ascend after cleansing and preparation, where they may reside for a long time, watching over the Earth, entertaining Earth travelers, and producing dreams to send to those on the lower plane.
Robert explains that it's in this realm that the astral body is left behind when a soul ascends to higher levels. Interesting deities and angelic beings, both male and female, have been awarded patronage of what happens in the realm of Luna. You'll explore this mysterious realm for yourself, discovering places and beings you may return to on future journeys.
In this session, you'll:
- Journey together through the astral realm of the Moon, as Robert guides you through an astral cleansing on the way to the Moon Gate and into this realm of spirits, travelers, and dreams

- Visit the Moon Café and other locales in this realm, discovering places where spirits and Earth travelers may meet
- Create a place of rendezvous for return visits with residents and other travelers, giving you a personal destination for future journeys

Take Your First Steps on the Other Side With Greater Awareness & Understanding (2027-02-11 9:00:00 am)
You'll make a careful exploration of the first transitions on the Other Side, as experienced by many who make the crossing. Robert will guide you in following the trail of previous travelers while remaining open to fresh experiences and new dreams of possibility.
You'll consider maps for afterlife transitions from several world traditions, along with plausible channeled accounts from residents, soul travelers, and subjects of hypnotic regression. Step by step, you'll explore what may unfold after crossing, from meeting gatekeepers and welcoming committees to entering places of rest and reflection. Through these journeys, you'll deepen your understanding of the early stages of the afterlife and the possibilities they may hold.
In this session, you'll:
- Journey through the first transitions on the Other Side, as Robert guides you step by step through experiences reported by previous travelers

Get a Life on the Other Side Through Imagination, Memory & Desire (2027-02-18 9:00:00 am)
There is a people in the South Pacific who maintain that there are as many afterlife locales as there are human imaginations. This may be entirely correct, yet because many are lacking in imagination, they may settle in collective belief territories or confine themselves to very limited environments.
Robert will help you explore how imagination, memory, and desire become the architects and building contractors in the transition zones that one of his guides calls "Memorydream." You'll tour some of the possibilities of life on the Other Side, from schools and relationships to communications centers where the departed seek to contact the living. You'll also explore the Plane of Recollection, where you may see and remember your larger soul history and connections with dramas being played out in many times and many worlds.
In this session, you'll:

- Visit the Plane of Recollection to see and remember your larger soul history, exploring your connections with dramas being played out in many times and many worlds

You can apply the techniques of Active Dreaming to help others approach Death with courage and grace and enjoy the years they have left on this side more richly. Simply by encouraging others to remember their dreams, you can help prepare them for the big journey beyond this life, since dreams take us beyond the body into other dimensions.
Robert will help you explore how to communicate on a soul level with people who are living with Alzheimer's and dementia, and even with coma patients. You'll discover ways to help others connect with spiritual guidance and recognize how, in dreams, they may already be at home in worlds beyond the world.

Journey Between Lives to Remember Your Soul Family & Purpose (2027-03-04 9:00:00 am)
The space we enter after Death and the space we inhabit before birth are closely related. Robert teaches that we come from the dream world into the physical world at the moment of birth, yet few of us arrive with clear memories of where we were before.
Those who do remember may have to withstand not only the trauma of the birth canal but also the amnesiac influences of most of those around them. Through conscious journeying, you'll explore the space between lives and reconnect with relationships, assignments, and experiences that may extend across space and time. You'll have opportunities to remember more of your larger soul story and harvest guidance for the life you're living now.
In this session, you'll:
- Journey into the space between lives to meet members of your soul family, as Robert guides you in reconnecting with those who may have been with you in other lives
- Remember your soul assignments in this life, gaining a larger perspective on what you came here to experience or accomplish
- Harvest guidance on current relationships, life challenges, and health issues from the perspective of your larger soul story
- Identify soul companions who have come across space and time to be with you in your current life and explore the deeper connections you may share
- Meet your council of elders and explore how souls select a new life experience, whether on Earth or in another reality
Meet More of Your Soul Family to View Your Life From a Higher Perspective (2027-03-11 9:00:00 am)
Having journeyed to the astral realm of Luna and revisited a place where you chose your present life experience, you're ready to rise to a more spacious view of your soul's place in the multiverse. You can travel into the life experiences of personalities in other time periods — past, future, or parallel — who are part of your soul family.
Robert teaches that the choices each of you makes can impact the others, since in the larger scheme of things, your lives are being lived simultaneously. You may find yourself able to slip in and out of these other life experiences and rise to the perspective of a Higher Self that can see the secret logic of events and change the patterns. You may discover that you've been doing some of this in your dreams for a very long time, even if you were completely unconscious of it until now.
In this session, you'll:
- Journey into other times to commune with personalities who are part of your soul family, as Robert guides you in exploring how you may influence these lives — and your own — for the better
- Discover how you stand at the center of all times and can enter past, future, or parallel lives from the moment of Now
- Explore how your soul family is connected to a Higher Self, or Oversoul, giving you a more spacious view of your place in the multiverse
- Ascend to the level of the Oversoul to view events from a higher perspective, recognize their secret logic, and discover possibilities for changing patterns
- Learn to approach whatever life throws at you with a sense of divine comedy, bringing a larger perspective to the challenges and surprises of your present life

Dreams in Divination and Soul Guidance in Japan
Video Conversation With Robert Moss & Erin Kalashnikova
Dream diviners guided emperors in Japan, but dreams were accessible to all as a field of interaction with spirits and a way to see the future. Erin Kalashnikova, a teacher of Active Dreaming and author of a new book on spiritual traditions and esoteric practice in Japan, describes methods of dream diagnosis, dream incubation, spirit communication and conscious dreaming between sleep and awake. She introduces us to Onmyōdō, a traditional Japanese system of divination, cosmology and spiritual protection concerned with the movement of unseen forces through time and place. She talks with Robert about how dreams provide soul guidance through life and death, and specific Japanese practices including creating spirit tablets for an aspect of the death and producing special poems to help the dying on their journeys..

Paleopsychology and Lucid Dreamers
Video Conversation With Ryan Hurd
In learning to come and go from the dream state at will and to navigate with full awareness inside it, lucid dreamers today have much in common with ancient and indigenous dream shamans, with some important differences. Indigenous cultures recognize that the dream self travels to real worlds beyond the physical and interacts with real beings, including the departed, other dreamers and persons-other-than-human. Ryan Hurd, a leading lucid dream researcher, discusses with Robert, who has married shamanism to modern dreamwork, how we can draw from both approaches to empower our everyday lives while gaining greater access to higher worlds.
Shamans, Dreamers and Care of the Soul
Video Conversation With Sandra Ingerman
Soul loss is the shaman''s diagnosis of the source of many of our existential complaints. We suffer trauma, the world turns cold and cruel, we give up on our dreams and part of us goes away. Sandra Ingerman, one of the world's most respected shamanic teachers in the world, has been helping us to heal soul loss since she published her pioneer book Soul Retrieval in 1990. Sandra and Robert have been friends for nearly as long. In this soul-searching conversation, they talk about how to bring more soul into life, recall the soul's purpose, connect with spirit helpers, and journey to other worlds, including life beyond death,
