In the Hereafter: Our Journey After Death (2020)




Dying! Curious about what comes next, Sylvie Hétu and Michel Dongois gather in this Notebook pearls of wisdom collected and shared by Rudolf Steiner, the founder of anthroposophy. They present an overview of the journey undertaken by the human soul at the threshold of the afterlife. We are thus invited to broaden our perspective beyond birth and death. Like a guidebook to the beyond, this Notebook highlights three major realities:


- An entire universe awaits us after crossing the threshold.

- It is during our earthly life that we prepare for our post-mortem experiences.

- The evolutionary path of the soul involves successive lives on earth.


We are thus invited to broaden our perspective beyond birth and death."

Touch in Schools: A revolutionary approach to replacing bullying with respect and reducing violence (2009)





  • Touch in Schools illustrates how the widespread embedding of positive touch and movement in school curricula, and into school activities more generally, is contributing to a revolutionary sea change across the globe in young children’s emotional well-being. When schoolchildren shoot and kill other children, adults must take collective responsibility for what is merely a symptom of a much deeper malaise increasingly afflicting children in modern culture. Dramatic symptoms of a global crisis in Western schooling systems include more children developing mental illness, burgeoning child and teenage suicides, and record dropout rates. The program presented in this book (the Massage in Schools Programme, or MISP) involves the simple form of children massaging each other, and gives children a welcome opportunity to connect with each other in a playful, naturalistic way that cultivates the living

We die and then what? : real story (2008)



  • Aware of the large number of works that have already been written about death and life after death, Sylvie Hétu still wishes to offer a new angle, a new perspective where colors dance from laws yet to be discovered. She offers us a summary of all these courses taken, these books read, these masters met during her time here on earth, combined with her own observations, experiences and conversations. She paints us a comforting and inspiring picture of what surrounds death, from the preparation to the passage through the tunnel, from the first moments in the afterlife, from the great elipse to the big question of return, rituals favoring letting go and exploring communication with the beings who welcome us on the other side. With great simplicity and clarity, Sylvie Hétu gives us information that brings hope, which will stimulate reflection and will be nourishment for the heart, for you and your loved ones.

The Song of the Child (2004)



  • This book is a rich artistic treasure trove of imaginative and poetic insights for rediscovering the profound mystery that is 'the child', bringing it to our adult consciousness in a renewed manner. Each child has a song; and readers will find indications on how to read and 'hear' The Song itself. With 21 motifs in minor and 28 in major, each is accompanied by an evocative watercolor painting. The book concludes with 'The Answer' - an imagination of the archetypal adult, sensitively and lovingly caring for a child on its journey towards life and individual destiny. Educators, teachers, parents discover new ways of understanding children. Some psychologists have also found ways to reach into adults' depths, by asking them to choose their favorite page or image and discover what it says about them.

    "This book delves into the mind of a child as an inspiring wake-up call to empower adults to relate to children in ways that will enable them to flourish... [It] will serve as an inspiration to parents, educators, teachers, psychologists, therapists, counselors - indeed, anyone interacting with children." 

    Excerpt from the Foreword, by Professor Margot Sunderland, Director, Centre for Child Mental Health, London

    "A book... for the child in us... A book of imagination, of fear and peace, conflict and love, I and Thou. A 'thank you' to Sylvie Hétu for sharing with us her experience of the songs that move us."

    Dr. Daniel Hughes, Child Psychologist, USA
