Linda Rampling is the founder of Advancing Awareness, a community created in February 2021 for people with an open and curious mind who are interested in exploring consciousness, NDEs (Near-Death Experiences) numerology, astrology, reincarnation and the many questions surrounding life and what may lie beyond it.

Over the years, Linda has brought together an inspiring range of guest speakers and created a welcoming space where people can listen, question, share experiences and explore different perspectives without feeling they must accept any belief.

Linda is a Certified Grief Educator and a Caring Listener for Helping Parents Heal. She has a genuine desire to help people.

In 2026, Advancing Awareness celebrated its fifth anniversary, marking five years of conversations, inspiring guest speakers and shared exploration. The anniversary was celebrated with the wonderful Suzanne Giesemann as a special guest speaker.

Linda’s philosophy is simple: 

Stay curious, ask questions, remain open-minded, explore the possibilities — and above all, be kind.

In her own words:

I created Advancing Awareness to provide a welcoming space for people who are curious about consciousness, life after death and the many questions surrounding our existence. For me, this also includes exploring the idea of a connection with the quantum field – feeling linked to nature, the universe, and other dimensions, and tuning into our higher selves. 

How Advancing Awareness Began

My journey into exploring life after death began through personal experiences of loss.

When my young grandson passed away, I experienced something that left a profound impression on me. A song came on the radio that I had never heard before and have never heard since. The words seemed to speak directly to the relationship between my grandson and me — that although he was no longer physically here, he would always be close and that our love would remain.

When I got out of the car, still in shock, I noticed a beautiful white feather lying on the garage floor.

After my husband passed away, I experienced many things that I came to regard as signs from him too. But it was after the death of my son that my curiosity about what may lie beyond our physical existence deepened further.

I had a remarkably vivid dream in which I experienced my son as though he were truly present. On another occasion, I heard his voice. These experiences led me to begin exploring mediumship.

I eventually undertook a mediumship course with Suzanne Giesemann. At the end of the course, participants were assigned to Facebook groups, and I was asked to become a co-administrator of the European group.

Although I enjoyed sharing information and resources, I found that people were often rather reluctant to comment or engage. I wanted to create somewhere where I could share the many things I was discovering and, importantly, where people could feel comfortable exploring their own questions and experiences.

As I was already sending out weekly Zoom links, I decided to create my own Facebook community.

And so Advancing Awareness began.

Initially, our meetings focused on soul-to-soul communication. But my curiosity continued to grow. I wanted to learn more, hear different perspectives and explore the wider questions surrounding consciousness, spirituality and life after death.

That led me to begin inviting speakers to our meetings — people with knowledge and experience who could share what they had discovered and offer new insights,

Advancing Awareness continues to grow from that same simple idea: to remain curious, keep an open mind and never stop asking questions.

Exploring consciousness and the possibilities beyond our physical lives

Advancing Awareness is a welcoming community for people who are curious about consciousness, spirituality, psychic and mediumistic experiences, life after death, and the many questions surrounding our existence.

We bring together like-minded people from around the world.

Together, we listen, learn, share experiences, and explore different perspectives.

What we offer

Through our regular Tuesday Zoom meetings, guest speakers, and special events, we create opportunities to explore a wide range of ideas and experiences.

We hear from authors, researchers, mediums, and others whose knowledge and insights encourage deeper reflection on:

• Life and consciousness
• Experiences beyond the ordinary
• Numerology
• Astral Travel
• Reincarnation
• What may lie beyond physical existence

I founded Advancing Awareness because I wanted to create a community where people could come together openly, ask questions, listen to different viewpoints and share their experiences without judgement.

Our aim is not to tell people what to believe. It is to encourage exploration, discussion and greater awareness.

Over the past five years, Advancing Awareness has welcomed speakers with a wide range of knowledge and experience, including authors, researchers, mediums and people with their own extraordinary experiences.

The community includes people from different backgrounds and from around the world, united by a curiosity about the deeper questions of life.

Our purpose 

To create a community where people can:

• Explore consciousness in a safe, welcoming place.
• Hear from inspiring and knowledgeable speakers
• Learn about mediumship and psychic experiences
• Explore evidence and personal experiences relating to life after death
• Ask questions and share ideas
• Connect with like-minded people from around the world

We remain open-minded and curious, recognising that there is still much we do not understand.
