Par Stéphane Allix. 2023
15 ans d'enquête sur l'après-vie pour gagner en sérénité face à la mort. Que se passe-t-il lorsque nous mourrons ?…
Que devient notre conscience ? Survit-elle à la mort cérébrale ? Ces questions vertigineuses se sont imposées à Stéphane Allix au moment du décès de son frère. Il a dès lors mobilisé toutes ses compétences et son instinct de journaliste pour tenter d'élucider le mystère de la conscience. Les recherches en médecine ou en neurosciences, ainsi que les innombrables phénomènes inexpliqués autour de la mort (expériences de mort imminente, perceptions extrasensorielles, etc.), suggèrent que notre conscience possède une dimension spirituelle. Est-ce ce que les mystiques appellent âme ? Pour percer le mystère, Stéphane décide de faire lui-même l'expérience de cette dimension à travers des voies alternatives, des pratiques spirituelles millénaires, comme le chamanisme. Grâce à cet implacable travail d'enquête scientifique, doublé d'une bouleversante exploration spirituelle, Stéphane Allix se forge une intime conviction. Le bilan d'un journaliste, mais aussi celui d'un homme, d'un père soucieux de transmettre à sa fille l'apaisement procuré par ce voyage aux frontières de la vieOn the brink of everything: grace, gravity, and getting old (BK life book)

questions age raises and the promises it holds. "Old," he writes, "is just another word for nothing left to lose, a time to dive deep into life, not withdraw to the shallows." But this book is not for elders only. It was written to encourage adults of all ages to explore the way their lives are unfolding. It's not a how-to-do-it book on aging, but a set of meditations in prose and poetry that turn the prism on the meaning(s) of one's life, refracting new light at every turn. AdultRadiant rebellion: Reclaim aging, practice joy, and raise a little hell

Join Karen Walrond, author of The Lightmaker's Manifesto, in this intriguing investigation into how we can reclaim aging, cultivate joy,…
and resist ageism. During her own year of transition-a milestone birthday, a wedding anniversary, the emptying of the nest-Walrond, in the buoyant and luminous style her readers have come to love, does a deep dive into dimensions of getting older, including health, beauty, spirituality, connection, adventure, and meaning and purpose. Through conversations with social workers and neurologists, activists and clergy, Walrond satisfies her curiosity about why the dominant culture treats aging as a time of dwindling capacity. She also embarks on a series of experiments that help her rebel against convention: letting her hair go naturally gray, going on a silent retreat, revamping her health practices, and plotting her next adventure. Internalized ageism is not our only option; we can write a different story of aging than the one we've been handed. With wisdom from luminaries who light our way, Walrond helps us radiantly rebel against the fads and assumptions that hold us back, redefine the adventure of getting older, and create a shining future of expanded potential. We might even raise a little hell while we're at it!Teaching Students Geriatric Research

theatricality. What determined whether or not a demonologist imagined a trial as a spectacle? What underlying epistemological constraints governed such choices and what conceptions of witchcraft did these choices reveal? Pairing readings of demonological texts with canonical plays and poetry, Laura Levine examines such questions. Through analyses of manuals and pamphlets about the prosecution of witches—including Reginald Scot's skeptical The Discoverie of Witchcraft (1584), King James VI/I's Daemonologie (1597), and Jean Bodin's De la Demonomanie des Sorciers (1580)—Afterlives of Endor examines the way literary texts such as Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale and The Tempest, Spenser's The Faerie Queene, and Marlowe's Tragicall History of Doctor Faustus address anxieties about witchcraft, illusion, and theatricality. Afterlives of Endor attends to the rhetorical tactics, argumentative investments, and underlying tensions of demonological texts with the scrutiny ordinarily reserved for literary texts.Dance On!: Dancing through Life
