Stephen Weber had ridden motorcycles from the time he was a boy, delivering newspapers on a dirt bike, and he went on to a career in the computer industry — first running a business with his brother, later as an Information Technology Project Manager. By his own account, our friend Steve was about as far from a spiritual man as a person could be. But that all changed when a catastrophic Harley-Davidson accident left him with a traumatic brain injury, a fractured back, a shattered hip, and life-threatening internal injuries. He was airlifted to Stony Brook University Hospital and kept in a medically induced coma for three weeks, after which Steve returned with memories of a place he came to call The Place Between Here and There — and with lessons he believes that he was meant to carry home. Steve and his partner and co-author, Katherine “Kathie” Plant, first told that story in their book, The Place Between Here and There: A Beautiful Near-Death Experience. They further explore its meaning in the second book of the series, which is called The Place Between Here and There: The Lessons Learned. Together, they have led workshops, helping people work through grief — work that took on deeper meaning after the loss of Steve’s son, Nick. Steve also hosts Mantras, Meditations, and Good Vibrations, which is a weekly spiritual practice gathering. He lives now in The Villages, in Florida, and his website where you can learn more is betweenhereandthere.org.
