Ty Kenworthy shares a firsthand near-death experience that reshaped his beliefs about life, death, consciousness, and purpose. In this conversation, he and Joseph Paul trace how that experience deepened Ty’s connection to spiritualism, intensified his intuition, and changed the way he lives, works, and relates to family. We discuss not just what happened in the hospital, but how Ty interprets the experience now, how it affected his sense of fear, and why he sees his life as “borrowed time.”

• Ty’s religious upbringing and how his grandmother’s death led him toward Camp Chesterfield and spiritualism.
• The serious illness that led to his hospital stay and near-death experience in 2019.
• Ty’s account of being told he had “fulfilled his contract” and could choose to stay or go.
• His experience of standing before God in a bright white space and choosing to return for his family and children.
• The unexplained IV injection and sudden recovery he describes after the experience.

In this episode of **Awakened Earth**, we delve into profound questions about life and death, guided by Ty Kenworthy’s extraordinary near-death experience. Ty's journey through spirituality and his encounter with what lies beyond have transformed his perspective on existence.

## Discovering Spirituality

Ty shares that before his near-death experience, his background was somewhat typical; he was a single parent trying to navigate life without a strong religious foundation. He recounts his exploration of faith through the Methodist and Pentecostal communities, but it wasn't until the passing of his grandmother in 2008 that he truly began to seek answers. This loss led him to Camp Chesterfield, where he discovered spiritualism.

## The Near-Death Experience

In 2019, Ty faced a health crisis that led to a near-death experience. During a hospital stay exacerbated by a severe case of mono, he found himself at a crossroads between life and death. He reflects on a moment of clarity during his illness:

> "I was given an option to either stay or go. I had met God. I decided I wasn't ready to leave my family behind."

Ty vividly recalls that pivotal moment, where he felt a presence that he identifies as God, who reassured him that he had fulfilled his earthly contract but still had more to learn and accomplish.

## Transformation and Insights

After deciding to return, Ty experienced an inexplicable recovery. He describes walking out of the hospital just thirty minutes later, astonished by the sudden shift in his condition:

> "There’s no other explanation but an intervention that made that occur."

This experience radically changed Ty’s understanding of death and consciousness. He expresses a newfound freedom from the fear of death, stating:

> "When the time comes, I'm good. I'm ready."

His perspective on life has also shifted, leading him to engage more deeply with his spiritual work and mediumship.

## A New Outlook on Life and Death

Ty's journey has not only changed his view on his own mortality but has also influenced how he raises his children. He emphasizes the importance of discussing death openly with them, ensuring they understand it as a natural part of life.

Through his experiences, Ty encourages listeners to explore their own beliefs about life, death, and what may lie beyond. It’s a conversation that can reshape our understanding of existence itself.

As Ty continues to navigate his spiritual path, he invites others to reflect on their own experiences and questions surrounding death. The journey doesn't end; it expands into deeper understanding and connection.

To hear more about Ty's journey and the insights he shares, be sure to listen to the full episode on Sunday.

What if your most ordinary gifts could become a spiritual practice? Amanda Dawn Jane, known as Manduh, turns Reiki, mediumship, baking, and retreat work into a single mission: helping people heal, trust their intuition, and find meaning in everyday life. Raised without much religion or spiritual structure, Manduh’s path was anything but straightforward. A breaking-point retreat in 2019 opened the door to spirit, leading her into Camp Chesterfield, a deeper spiritualist community, and eventually into the Reiki practice that changed how she understood energy, guidance, and healing. Along the way, she began noticing that intuition feels different from ego, that grief can become a doorway to connection, and that spirit has a way of showing up when you least expect it. You’ll discover:

• how Manduh first recognized her spiritual awakening
• what spiritualism means to someone who found it later in life
• how Reiki, spiritual healing, and mediumship differ
• why she believes intuition arrives as a whisper, not a shove
• how she infuses intention and energy into cakes, cupcakes, and pastries
• what happened when she gave readings in the Temple of Sekhmet in the Nevada desert

Amanda also shares how her retreats create space for transformation, why grief can deepen empathy instead of harden it, and how the right community can change everything. If you’ve ever felt drawn to spirituality but didn’t know where to start, or if you’re curious about mediumship, energy work, or turning your gifts into a life path, this conversation offers both grounding and wonder. Essential listening if you’re searching for spiritual clarity, healing, or proof that life can become much more magical when you start paying attention to the signs.
