| 9/21/2017 | 10/24/2017 | | There are mediums and there are spiritual teachers. Roland Comtois bridges both callings with a visceral knowledge that there is more to our existence than life on this planet. Comtois guides people beyond grief to accessing the love and hope of everlasting life. Join us on Monday, Oct. 23, in Alger Hall 110, from 6-8 p.m., for a memorable night as Comtois explores the questions that have mesmerized humanity since the beginning of time. Is there something beyond here? Is there life after death? Do our departed loved ones attempt to reach us through signs and messages? With his Signature Purple Papers in hand, Roland will share his story of how it all started for him. How messages are delivered from our departed loved ones. He will shepherd you through the experience. His words are divinely inspired and he gives a poignant demonstration of spiritual connectivity; connections that are possible in every moment of time. A random audience member may receive personal messages that Roland has channeled from those on the other side. Register at eventbrite. | Leslie DiManna | | No |
