Full Schedule

A “Deathwalker” or “Psychopomp” (from the Greek word psychopompos, literally meaning the “guide of souls”), is a magickal person who helps souls that are reluctant, stuck, or seem to be unable to move on from their death. Death Walkers assist those who have already left the physical body and need help completing their transition and returning to their spiritual home/ the afterlife. A Death Walker is one who meets with the departed soul in the otherworld and non-ordinary realms versus a Medium who will invite the departed soul to the ordinary realm and meet with them. A Death Walker is not necessarily a Death Doula, as the Death Walker exclusively works with those who are already dead. In this workshop, Christina Wilke-Burbach PhD, will cover:

  • The ancient history of Death Walking
  • Psychopomps in mythologies from around the world
  • A cartography (map) of the spirit world
  • Why some souls get stuck and turn into hauntings, apparitions, unusual spiritual activity, paranormal activity, and corrupted energy.
  • Things we can do while still living to prevent reluctant souls and hauntings
  • Death Walking Techniques and Tools
  • How to protect yourself and keep yourself safe when Death Walking
  • Christina will then guide you on a Death Walker journey/pathworking into the otherworld
