✨Hear Stephen Simon's deeply personal story of love, loss, and communication beyond the veil.

Join Hawaiian IANDS on Tuesday, July 7th for a truly extraordinary evening with acclaimed Hollywood producer, director, author, and spiritual storyteller Stephen Simon, whose films have inspired millions of people around the world to contemplate life, death, consciousness, and the enduring power of love.


 Best known as the producer of the Academy Award®-winning What Dreams May Come starring Robin Williams and Cuba Gooding Jr., and the beloved classic Somewhere in Time starring Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour, Stephen has spent much of his career bringing stories of love, destiny, soul connections, and life beyond death to the screen.


Yet Stephen's most profound story unfolded not in Hollywood—but in his own life.
 

Following the unexpected passing of his beloved wife Lauren in 2018, Stephen experienced devastating grief and heartbreak. Then, just weeks after her transition, something remarkable began to happen. Stephen began receiving what he believes were genuine communications from Lauren from beyond the veil.


What started as subtle impressions and intuitive messages evolved into an ongoing relationship that transformed his understanding of love, loss, consciousness, and the afterlife.


 Their extraordinary journey became the foundation for the book What Dreams Have Come: Loving Through the Veil, a remarkable work Stephen says was co-authored with Lauren after her passing.


Through signs, synchronicities, dreams, intuitive communication, and direct spiritual experiences, Stephen discovered what many Near-Death Experiencers, After-Death Communication Experiencers, and Spiritually Transformative Experiencers have long reported


 Love survives death.

 Relationships continue.

 Consciousness endures.

 Our loved ones may be far closer than we realize.

 

In this fascinating and deeply moving presentation, Stephen will share his personal experiences of communicating with Lauren, the lessons he learned while navigating grief, and the profound realization that death may not be the end of our most meaningful relationships.
