Overview

Is death really an ending? Can you really stay in touch with your loved one from the beyond? Imagine if, as you move through the pain and chaos of losing a loved one, you were to discover your relationship had not ended...and you could still communicate with each other in new and meaningful ways! This book shows that death need not separate people from their loved ones, and that grief can be the first step in a new ongoing relationship with the one who has passed. Chidakash Jordan tells many stories of almost daily contacts and messages he received from his beloved partner of thirty-four years-often in writing--and many of them witnessed by others. He says, She may have left but she has not gone away. Many dealing with the pain of loss may find comfort and hope from the insights shared, discovering practical ways to maintain connection with the one who left, and how to recognize signs of contact that might otherwise go unnoticed. Dance on! offers a salve for the pain of loss. The refreshing concepts presented invite people to change the relationship they have with death and grief by discovering a bigger context, and learning nurturing ways to transform the pain of grief into loving gratitude.

This extraordinary book is a deep validation of what I have witnessed over my 40 years as a hospice worker. As this compelling book describes, there are indeed other planes of knowing that can become a powerful part of growing through grieving. -Kathleen Horsdal, Hospice Worker Dance On! will be a marvellous addition to those grieving. Chidakash's warm and inviting writing style drew me to reflect on my own life and how I can evolve my relationship with my late husband and other loved ones, both on earth and in spirit. Dance On! is for everyone who is curious and open to discovering rich new ways to connect and be with their loved ones who have passed on. -Anna Haltrecht, Death Cafe host Chidakash has opened his heart. His reflections and wisdom gained through grief are shared with the kind of strength only vulnerability can bring. Dance On! encourages your own awakening with stories of Shera's continued aliveness, and her expressions of love for him from her new home in spirit. I am certain she is more in love with him than ever before. -Debra Doerksen, Spiritual Medium, Author, Workshop Facilitator This inspiring narrative follows the journey of a woman who embraces her final moments on her own terms, in her own home, surrounded by cherished loved ones. 'Dance On! Love Beyond Grief' beautifully encapsulates the aspirations of End of Life Doulas, portraying one person's ideal transition to death. -Jennifer Brooker, Vice President-End of Life Doula Association of Canada The first time I read the book I just cried. To ease someone's passing, is a great honour. But what happens after they're gone? Dance On! opens up a new toolbox of tangible and wholesome methods to enable each person affected by someone's passing to individually cope, in a most hopeful and healthy way. -Laura Hughes McGrath, Frontline Care Giver It touches me beyond the mind. I was brought to warm nourishing tears immediately. The flow is tangible love. It is a transmission to my heart. -Julie Howard, Personal Health Coach This is a powerful book with an inspiring story filled with hope for others who have suffered a huge loss of a loved one. Also, getting people to question their beliefs and look at things through different lenses is such a great and needed piece of advice in all areas. And now I'm crying again! I was blown away. -Valerie Costa, Editor-in-Chief An amazingly powerful message. It certainly gave me things to mull over. There were times I had tears running down my cheeks. Times when I thought there were messages for me. Thanks for giving me other avenues to consider, other ways to hold these emotions. I loved it. -Vickie Jensen, Author and Marine Historian A tale of love as well as a manual on how to create it. To have a loving partner to walk through life with is one of the greatest gifts afforded a person. An equally wonderful gift is when that bond remains unbroken even in death. -Austin Metze, Artist, Poet, Author This story transforms the art of life into a work of art about love that passes the boundaries of life itself. The humble honest tone carried me through a kind of cathartic healing. As I read of Shera's last days, I re-experienced the death, funeral and cremation of my first wife simultaneously. Dance On! will help any human who grieves. -Robert Arne, Certified Financial Planner

Author Information

"Chidakash enjoys awakening curiosity in people and encouraging them to view their lives as an adventure. As a young man driven by an ever present desire to discover new places and perspectives, he left his native Canada, and travelled extensively in Europe, North Africa, South Asia, Peru, and Australia. While in Australia, he was appointed National Education Officer for a United Nations affiliated organization, and established the ""ideas centre,"" an educational initiative, to bring Third World voices and viewpoints into schools across the country. Upon his return to Canada, he met Shera, his life partner. Together they built Serenity by the Sea, a fairytale-like cedar ""castle"" retreat centre on Galiano Island island in the west of Canada. For twenty-six years, in a program called The Next Step, they worked with people facing life changes, helping them empower themselves to start moving forward again in their lives.They also led people to Machu Picchu in a spiritual journey they called Enter the Mystery. Over eighteen years they guided their travellers along the Inca Trail and into the mysteries of the fabled world of the Incas, simultaneously encouraging them to explore the new discoveries and awareness of themselves that the experience was awakening within them. Chidakash has always been motivated to help people identify their passion and find their unique voice, identify the gift they carry within them, and share it with a world waiting to receive it. After the years of caring for Shera before she left, Chidakash was profoundly transformed by the extraordinary contacts he has had with her, and the life-transforming succession of events he experienced after her passing. Living now on Salt Spring Island, he dedicates his time to letting others experiencing the pain of losing a loved one, know how they can create a different and gentler experience for themselves, in which their loving relationship can continue beyond death.saChidakash Jordan is available for speaking engagements and media interviews.
