Journeyer

Ring sees both the NDE and UFOE as modern day shamanic initiations in which the journeyer (NDEer or UFOer) enters an "imaginal" reality, an alternative reality that coexists with physical reality and that is equally real.

The latest in this long line of winter journeyers is a British tenor, Mark Padmore, who sang Schubert’s song cycle at Weill Recital Hall on Tuesday night with the pianist Ethan Iverson.
