Regular Meeting Times

*** DECEMBER 10 - (In Person) Dr. Raymond Moody (recorded) ***

In 1975, Dr. Raymond Moody’s book, Life After Life, gave a name to the phenomenon now commonly referred to as the NDE, or near-death experience, and soon drew a large and eager public audience. Meanwhile, a small group of university professors were inspired by Dr. Moody’s work, and met to create a fledgling organization that has grown since then to become IANDS as we know it today. At this year’s annual conference in Chicago, Dr. Moody addressed a standing-room-only crowd on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the creation of IANDS to share the story, and on Wednesday, December 10, at 7:00 pm Central Time, we will meet in-person in Flower Mound to watch a recording of Dr. Moody’s talk, followed by sharing and discussion. Please join us!

*** JANUARY 14 - (Via Zoom) Lorene Stanwick ***

Lorene Stanwick had a near death experience (NDE) at the age of five when her older sister strangled her – but she did not remember it until decades later. Deeply committed to her spiritual practice, she has had a period of profound spiritually transformative experiences (STEs) in recent years – including recovery of the memory of her NDE. As she learned more about the ‘gifts’ of NDEs, she began to understand that what once made her a ‘victim’ had indeed become a gift, helping her to understand many experiences from throughout her life and giving her the strength, faith and clarity to continue on the path she has been guided to walk. On Wednesday, January 14 at 7:00 pm Central Time, Lorene will join us live via Zoom from her home in Kitchener, Ontario, to share her story of a childhood NDE and its profound aftermath. Please join us!

*** FEBRUARY 11 - (In Person) To Be Announced ***

*** MARCH 11 - (Via Zoom) Christine Judal ***

Christine Judal’s early experience attending the Southern Baptist Church didn’t prepare her for what would happen after her father died when she was 13 years old. During World War II, he had endured almost four years in a POW camp near Nagasaki, Japan, and personally witnessed the atomic destruction of that city; experiences which, after the war, led him to drink. Christine, the youngest of six children, experienced him more and more as an alcoholic and sometimes abusive father as she grew up, while she, herself, had become a resentful young teenager by the time he died. When she returned home after his funeral, she felt something pressing on her in the house, and she knew it was him, but did not want to engage. She tried to ignore what she sensed, but he persisted for weeks. Finally, she confronted him. “Tell me what you want,” she said, “and then you have to go away, and never come back.” What happened next changed her forever.
On Wednesday, March 11, at 7:00 pm Central Time, Christine will join us live via Zoom from her home in California, to share the remarkable story of her encounter with her father’s spirit, and it’s indelible, transformative impact on her life.
