About the event
Hosted by Durham IANDS, this webinar features near-death experiencer Angela Rose Harris, who shares how an unexpected event in 2015 profoundly changed her understanding of consciousness, love, and identity.
During a hospital test, Angela’s heart stopped. As medical staff worked to revive her, she became aware of the room from a perspective she had never known before. She sensed the fear and love surrounding her, even as her attention was drawn somewhere beyond the hospital.
What followed was not darkness or blankness. Angela describes entering a velvety black void, then finding herself in an experience filled with recognition, connection, and a profound sense of homecoming. She reunited with loved ones and experienced a life review that changed how she understood the ways our lives affect one another. But the experience also opened onto a larger mystery about identity: If we can belong to something much greater, what happens to the person we know as “me”?
Angela shares the moments that transformed her understanding of consciousness, love, and what may continue beyond the body, while leaving some of the experience’s deepest mysteries for listeners to explore with her. She also reflects on the difficult return to ordinary life—and how, years later, the questions raised by her NDE continue to shape the way she lives.
