Our Mission
Our Military and Veteran Near-Death Experience Sharing Group is a safe place to discuss your near-death experience (NDE) and or spiritual transformative experience (STE) with other service members, while offering unconditional acceptance, validation, education and support for your experience.

“There is nothing more satisfying than when someone is able to end years of isolation having had no-one previously receptive to hear them talk about their experience(s).”

It is important to know:

    • No one will know you attended, except those in your group. Your privacy is protected.
    • These meetings are never recorded.
    • Trained IANDS volunteers facilitate the group to ensure a safe and welcoming environment.
    • You do not have to share. You can listen with your video off for as long as you wish to do so. You are welcome to share when you are ready, even if that takes months or years to achieve.

These sharing groups are free to everyone!

Facilitator: Venus-Val Tower

Venus-Val Tower is a retired US ARMY solider, and was a trained combat EMT, Laboratory Tech and Paralegal. After her discharge she worked as a national lobbyist to advocate on post deployment illness of veterans in Washington D.C. Currently in training to work as a Death Doula.

The Military Sharing group occurs monthly on the second Sunday at:
4 pm ET
1 pm PT
10 am Hawaii
9 pm London

This group was started by Diane:
Diane Corcoran is an Army nurse who has been there – from Vietnam to Desert Storm. Dr. Corcoran served as a nurse from the Vietnam War to Desert Storm. In 1969, she cared for a 19 yr. old wounded
Vietnam combat soldier who wanted to share his NDE on the battlefield, but was extremely worried that no one would believe him. Instinctively, Diane listened to his account with care and compassion. Though the term NDE was not yet coined, she knew that his extremely emotional experience had a profound life-changing impact on him. She dedicated her life to educating the international medical community about NDE and provided validation, education and support for active military and veteran experiencers. Dr. Corcoran served as a former President of the International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS) and as a Board Director. In addition, she is the founder of Corcoran Consulting and The Vet NDE Project.

How do sharing groups work?
Everyone with a sincere interest in near-death and related experiences is welcome. You are invited to share, learn, or just listen in one of our over 13 sharing groups per month. These are safe spaces.  You can leave your camera off and sit silently until you are ready to join the group. Each sharing group is free to attend, with donations requested to cover the cost of the services provided.

Each group is led by a trained facilitator. The facilitator maintains the IANDS Sharing Group guidelines that are created from decades of experience providing sharing groups in the clinical setting. It is the facilitator’s role to provide an opportunity for each person, who wishes to do so, to share. It is also the facilitator’s goal to keep the group space safe while maintaining neutrality. These groups do not provide counseling. They are peer-to-peer sharing groups. These groups last 90 minutes. There is no guest speaker. Each attendee is given the same privileges to speak as all other attendees, as long as the guidelines are followed. The size of groups is limited. The group access closes 10 minutes after start time to maintain the feeling of safety, security, and privacy. Even though these groups are free to all, donations are requested so that we can continue to provide them free of charge to all who wish to attend.

You are required to create an account with IANDS Sharing Groups Online to participate in these groups. A link will be sent to you in your confirmation email or you can return to the reservation page on the date of the event and use the Join Event button that will be on that page.

Jewish Experience Group

Are you Jewish and wonder how or if your NDE or other Spiritually Transformative Experience aligns with your faith? Are you struggling to integrate your experience? Come explore these questions with others having similar concerns. While this Sharing Session contains Jewish content, it is open to all who have a desire to join us.

The 1st Sunday of every month at 4 pm ET.

The “Jewish Experience Sharing Group” is a sharing group for those in, or from, a Jewish community who have had, or are interested in near-death or similar experiences. Non-Jewish people are also welcome to join us as well to learn about Jewish perspectives.

For some experiencers, it’s helpful to consider issues of having a Jewish background when discussing their NDE/STE. This group allows a safe place for those types of discussions. There will be time to share your experiences, challenges, joys, and dreams.

We understand attendees of this group may come from many different Jewish traditions, other faith traditions, or none at all. We commit to respecting all who attend this group, knowing each person holds their own personal perspectives and beliefs.

This is a safe place of non-judgment. There is also no proselytizing. The group will explore the meaning and purpose of NDEs and how to integrate them by understanding the Jewish values implicit in the experience. Each person’s NDE or spiritually transformative experience is unique, and Rabbi Steve will help you find the hidden core of your soul’s purpose contained in the experience of the NDE.

Kabbalah, contemporary psychology, and brain science will provide a deeper understanding of the role of your physical being in this world and how leaving this world is not death, but transformation into another stage of living. Together we will support each other as we move to greater insights and application of the wisdom which will be revealed to all of us in these sessions

It is important to know:

    • No one will know you attended, except those in your group. Your privacy is protected.
    • These meetings are never recorded.
    • Trained IANDS volunteers facilitate the group to ensure a safe and welcoming environment.
    • You do not have to share. You can listen with your video off for as long as you wish to do so. You are welcome to share when you are ready, even if that takes months or years to achieve.

These sharing groups are free to everyone!

We are a non-profit. Donations provide the funding to support the technology that runs these groups. If you are able to make a donation, it would be greatly appreciated. We thank you in advance for your kind and generous donations.

Becoming a Divine Conduit- Part 2 Embodying Divine Light

Becoming A Divine Conduit is a workshop with multiple near-death experiencer Loreli Drache that will guide attendees into how to use energetic portals to acknowledge and release their traumas to clear their energy centers, how to become more mindful of their thought processes and use of words and how to become an expanded conduit for divine light frequencies to increase abundance in their lives. Loreli invites this community to take a visualization journey into all they’ve ever been and can become in the multiverse that she believes is available to everyone.

Through Loreli’s five near-death and other spiritual experiences she learned how to read and move energy and embody light to help others heal and connect to collective consciousness using energetic portals. In her workshop Becoming a Divine Conduit she desires to share this wisdom with others. Attendees will be guided through practices and visualizations on becoming an expanded divine light channel. They will learn for themselves how to feel and read energy and embody light and love frequencies to move their conscious awareness through the multiverse. This course includes mindfulness practices, alignment and activation meditations, journaling prompts and group discussions to learn how to gain and maintain the frequency of their highest timeline and connect to the higher fractals of their “oversoul”.

Within part 2 Embodying Divine Light we will be working with visualization and opening of divine portals, how to hold and open our light channels to flow higher light frequencies and how to direct them for healing ourselves, all beings and the Earth. Attendees will learn about tapping into collective consciousness and surrendering to the divine flow to live in abundance.

About Loreli:

Loreli has had five NDEs, the first at age 7, followed by others at ages 28, 35, 48 and 50. She has also experienced out-of-body, Galactic (ET), Celestial, Fae, Sasquatch, Dragon and orb contact, a Kundalini awakening, connection to Christ consciousness, after-death communication (human and animal), shared death and many other types of STEs (all on the SAI STE list), inter-dimensional-quantum experiences, and paranormal-mystical experiences.
She practices as a Spiritual Minister, Mystic, Certified Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki Master Teacher, Quantum Shamanic Lotus Energy Healer, Medical Intuitive (Psychic Surgery validated by MRIs and medical tests), Spiritual Mentor, NDE Reintegration Guide, Psychic Medium, Divine Conduit (Channeler) and Inspirational Speaker. She is clair-abled and does DNA, Dragon. Lotus and Light Code activations, soul braiding, soul retrieval and attachment removal.
Loreli works with portals and vortexes to connect clients with their personality complexes (fractals of their oversoul; “past life” incarnations) and divine-galactic-celestial origins. She holds a Medical Assistant diploma and held many roles and certifications within the medical field. She is a published journalist and poet, writer, intuitive jewelry artist and graphic designer.
She enjoys connecting and guiding others to remembrance through her healing practice and teaching spiritual seekers about collective consciousness and the mystic path.
Loreli created Spirit Sight, an expanding consciousness community. Spirit Sight hosts weekly healing, social and sharing circles every Wednesday evening as well as a monthly Sunday morning fellowship event called Celebration of Consciousness.

Within part 1 Clearing Your Light Channel attendees will learn how to reprogram their thought processes to release programming that no longer serves them, how and when to perform energetic hygiene and how to connect to their higher self through their divine portal. Attendees will be given access to guided meditation videos, worksheets and journal prompt pages to work through for part 2. We will discuss attendees experiences with these and any questions in Embodying Divine Light.

Within part 2 Embodying Divine Light we will be working with visualization and opening of divine portals, how to hold and open our light channels to flow higher light frequencies and how to direct them for healing ourselves, all beings and the Earth.
