Please join us Thursday May 29th as we welcome Ebonie Hopkins as our guest speaker.
Ebonie has experienced profound spiritual transformative experiences that have deeply shaped her life’s path. The first occurred when she was just 13 years old. While crossing the street, a tractor trailer ran a red light and struck her. She was thrown into the air and blacked out upon hitting the ground. A nearby police officer witnessed the accident and stayed by her side until she regained consciousness and could identify herself so her parents could be contacted. Miraculously, despite the severity of the accident, Ebonie walked out of the hospital without a single injury that same day. Her second experience happened in the winter of 2010, this time with her young son, Liam. After a snowstorm, the roads were dangerously icy. As Ebonie was driving downhill, she realized her brakes weren’t working. Her car flipped five times down Seeley Road and came to a stop just one foot from a gas pump. Both she and Liam were rushed to the hospital—and again, incredibly, they both walked away without injury.
The most recent experience, a near-death experience, took place in March of 2024, just over a year ago. After a week of feeling unwell, Ebonie was admitted to the hospital and diagnosed with kidney failure. During her hospitalization, she underwent a powerful and life-altering spiritual experience, one that reignited her purpose and commitment to serve others in a deeper, more meaningful way.
Even before these events, Ebonie says she had always possessed unexplainable spiritual gifts, natural but undeveloped. Over the past seven years, she has undergone an intense period of healing, growth, and spiritual development, including deep work around childhood trauma. Today, Ebonie is actively studying Social Work and Reiki, and is preparing to become a certified Death Doula, offering guidance to others during life’s most sacred transitions.
Join us as Ebonie shares her extraordinary journey of healing, discovery, and transformation, a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the unseen forces that guide and protect us. Meeting starts at 6:30pm (doors open at 6pm) on Thursday May 29th at the North Syracuse Community Center, 700 South Bay Rd. in North Syracuse.

What are STEs?
Spiritually Transformative Experiences or STEs, are events that affect us in a very real and spiritual ways. We’ve all had such experiences, big ones like an NDE or an encounter experience, or even an after death communication, or small ones like lucid or prophetic dreams, a past life regression, or a hunch that comes true. There are many types of such experiences which serve are catalysts for spiritual transformation and awakening. They often bring change our perspective of ourselves, our connection to each other, and to the Universe.
Such experiences can happen at any time, to anyone, under any circumstances. Some of these experiences are big and obvious, like a thunderstorm or even tornado. Others are small and subtle, more like a soft summer rain. What is important about them is that we listen to them, because it is often through these kinds of experiences we awaken to who we truly are, we remember our divinity. They touch us in personal and significant ways that cannot be easily measured or dismissed, because they catalyze the realization of our higher human potential.
While some of these STEs are easy or amazing, sometimes they are harsh and painful. It is easier to integrate these experiences through sharing them, telling our stories and understanding the patterns of such experiences, in order to better understand why they happened to us in the first place.
