Afterlife Study Series

In 2022, Community Interfaith Educator, Harold Rosen, led us in a study series of “The Afterlife: Multi-faith and Multi-disciplinary Perspectives.”

Each month, we engaged in a monthly exploration of the afterlife. We explored themes such as:

– How do the major religious cultures of our world address the issue of Life After Death?

– How do these beliefs and practices compare to the findings of Near-Death Experience Research?

– What light do these views and investigations cast on the Purpose of This Life in general, and the Meaning of Our Lives, in particular?

The schedule was, as follows:

Session 1 – Introduction, Near-Death Experiences, and Indigenous Beliefs. You can watch the recording here.

Session 2 – South Asian Beliefs and Practices, including from Hinduism, Buddhism, and the Sikh tradition. You can watch the recording here.

Session 3 – East Asian Beliefs and Practices, including from Confucianism, Taoism, and the Shinto tradition. You can watch the recording here.

Session 4 – Middle Eastern Beliefs and Practices, including from Zoroastrianism and Islam. You can watch the recording here.

Session 5 – Western Beliefs and Practices, including from Judaism, Hellenism, and Christianity. You can watch the recording here.

Session 6 – Contemporary Beliefs and Practices, including Spiritual But Not Religious and the Baha’i Faith. You can watch the recording here.
