Felicity Warner | “Psycho-Spiritual Transitions in the Dying Process: Understanding Shifts in Consciousness at End of Life”

Drawing on over 30 years of bedside experience supporting the dying, Felicity Warner – founder of Soul Midwives- Holistic and Spiritual Companions to the Dying-explores the psycho-spiritual transitions that accompany the final stages of life. This session examines the distinct shifts in consciousness that often occur as individuals approach death—changes that can illuminate the interconnection between psychological processes, spiritual awareness, and the body’s natural progression toward letting go.

Through case reflections, and therapeutic insights, she aims to give a deeper understanding of the dying process as a series of transformative states rather than purely physiological decline. The session will offer practical guidance for clinicians to recognize and support these psycho-spiritual transitions, enhancing compassionate, holistic end-of-life care
