Honoring Anna-Lisa Adelberg — A Beacon of Love, Wisdom, and Awakening
Together we are honoring the passing of Anna-Lisa Adelberg, beloved teacher, friend, sister, daughter, and mentor to many. After walking her final months with love and dignity, she has come to the completion of her life’s journey following a diagnosis of inoperable cancer, which she had been courageously navigating for several years.
Anna-Lisa was a heartfelt guide, a beacon of wisdom, compassion, and awakened awareness, who transformed the lives of thousands. She founded the Luminous Awareness Institute as an offering of love to the world: a sacred path of awakening, healing, community, and remembering our true nature.
Through her visionary teaching and radiant presence, Anna-Lisa touched hearts across the globe. She brought together the profound and the practical, the mystical and the human, offering a unique transmission of nondual awareness, energy healing, and deep emotional integration that has left an indelible mark on all who were blessed to learn from her.
She was also a deeply loyal and loving friend and family member—fiercely devoted to those in her close circle.
About the GoFundMe
Over the past months, Anna-Lisa met her diagnosis of advanced, inoperable cancer with the same grace that she brought to her teachings. She walked her final stretch of life with intention and courage—teaching us even in her dying how to face impermanence with presence and surrender.
With her through it all was her beloved partner Ethan Henson, who has met every step of this journey with unwavering devotion. Ethan’s love for Anna-Lisa has been radiant and steady, a reflection of their deep union. He cared for her tirelessly—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—ensuring that her final months were filled with gentleness, beauty, and dignity.
We are raising funds to help cover Anna-Lisa’s final expenses, including cremation and end-of-life costs, as a way to support her partner Ethan and her family during this sacred window. Any amount is received with deep gratitude and will go directly toward easing the logistical and financial burdens of this passage.
For those who feel called, this is an opportunity to give back to a teacher and leader who gave so generously to all of us—to offer our love and care in a tangible way as she is held in her final transition.
Thank you for being part of this mandala, this web of love and awakening that Anna-Lisa so fiercely believed in and helped bring into being.
