  • Finding Joy with Guest: Dr. Yvonne Kason
    2026/10/13

    Fr. Nathan discusses the work of Dr. Yvonne Kason, MD, MEd, CCFP, FCFP, a world-renowned pioneer in the field of “Spiritually Transformative Experiences.” She talks about her near-death experience (NDE) and the founding of Spiritual Awakenings International and her new book: "Roadmap to the Great Awakening."

    Yvonne Kason MD, MEd, CCFP, FCFP, is a Canadian Family Physician and Transpersonal MD-Psychotherapist (retired), author of 6 books, public speaker, originator of the term “Spiritually Transformative Experience” (STE), and STE Researcher.

    Dr. Kason has had five Near-Death Experiences, and multiple STE experiences. She was previously on faculty at the University of Toronto, Faculty of Medicine. She is an internationally renowned medical expert in the field of Spiritually Transformative Experiences, Near-Death Experiences, and Kundalini Awakenings.

    In 1994, Dr. Kason originated and coined the phrase, “Spiritually Transformative Experiences”, (STEs), in her ground-breaking book, A Farther Shore. She defined STE as an umbrella term to include diverse spiritual experiences including Mystical Experiences; Kundalini/Spiritual Energy Awakenings; Psychic Experiences of all types; Near-Death Experiences; Other Death-Related STEs; and Inspired Creativity. Dr. Kason elaborated on all types of Spiritually Transformative Experiences in her more recent books, Farther Shores: (2000, 2008), and Touched by the Light: Exploring Spiritually Transformative Experiences, (2019).
