Rev. Bobi Surmick
Founder
I am filled with joy to be presenting the culmination of a dream I had two and a half years ago… inspiration to start a virtual school for people who are seeking spiritual knowledge for personal and professional growth. Our world can feel like a crazy place some times, but my life experiences as a nurse in several modalities and someone who has also felt a close connection to the spiritual world has brought me to the place where I want to share those experiences and my sense of wonder at the way we are all guided and assured through the hard things in life.
At just 14 months old I fell down our home’s wooden stairs and had a near death experience, the first of three in my lifetime. I encountered ethereal beings I call angels who came to give me the choice to stay on earth or to go to the Light. Obviously, I felt I had a purpose to stay here on Earth.
When I became an RN in obstetrics, I found my touch would calm newborns and help women with labor pains. Tears filled my eyes at the awesomeness of new life at every delivery I attended. Long term care gave me the gift of holding someone’s hand at the moment of their death and sensing the miracle the end of earth life transition is. It held the same energy I felt at the birth of a new born child. Doing management in home health care, I would receive amazing insights in how to meet the needs of my teams and our patients. In hospice nursing I was able to reassure dying patients and their families that seeing dead relatives was real, that our loved ones and friends often come to take our hand as we go through the transition we call death.
I have spent over 30 years formally studying these phenomena. I graduated with a degree in human energy medicine and have worked in a variety of settings doing hands on energy work. Study and several years of experience brought certification as a Somatic Therapist. I have explored and studied shamanic cosmology and practices in depth and written about my experiences. Finally, my ordination as a spiritualist minister and counselor formalized my commitment as an educator in spiritual healing.
My life has been deeply blessed and I now can look back and see how the many challenges I had when younger were lessons to teach me persistence and resilience, and to depend upon a Higher Power who has never let me down. With great gratitude I have followed my guidance in founding Spiritual Dimensions Academy, a virtual place for all seekers to expand their understanding of spiritual energy and the tremendous growth that it brings us.
