Thursday Sharing Group

Our sharing groups welcome everyone, not just near-death experiencers. They offer a safe space to openly discuss near-death experiences, spiritually transformative experiences, or simply engage in conversations on these topics (or simply enjoy listening). All are welcome!

Please join us for the next IANDS Sharing group!

Facilitator: Greg Massey

IANDS Sharing Groups are open to everyone, not just near-death experiencers. They provide a safe space to share spiritually transformative experiences and explore related topics. Of course, you’re always welcome to simply listen. All are welcome!

IANDS hosts these groups using the simple and user-friendly Zoom video conferencing program. To participate, you must create an account with IANDS Sharing Groups Online. After registering, you’ll receive a confirmation email with a link to join. Alternatively, you can return to the reservation page on the event date and click the “Join Event” button, which becomes active 15 minutes before the scheduled start time.

Our sharing groups are free for everyone! IANDS relies on charitable contributions to support staffing and administration, and we sincerely appreciate your donations to help us continue providing a meaningful group experience.

Anyone with a genuine interest in near-death and related experiences is welcome. You’re invited to share, learn, or simply listen in one of our twelve monthly sharing groups. These are safe spaces where you can engage at your own comfort level. If you prefer, you may leave your camera off until you’re ready to turn it on, but we encourage you to enter your name in your video box, even if your camera remains off.

Each group is led by a trained facilitator who will review the IANDS Sharing Group guidelines. Facilitators ensure that everyone has an opportunity to share while maintaining a safe, neutral, and respectful space for all participants.

Please note that these groups are peer-to-peer sharing spaces and do not provide counseling. Sessions last approximately 90 minutes, and to preserve the group’s sense of safety, security, and privacy, access will close 15 minutes after the scheduled start time.

Assisted After-Death Communication with Your Beloved Pet

Join us for a gentle guided meditation that helps you reconnect with beloved pets who have passed on. Through deep relaxation and imagery, Diane guides you into a peaceful space where many people sense comfort, clarity, and even joyful moments with their animal companions. This simple, heart-opening experience can ease grief and remind you that the love you shared is still very much alive.

Beyond the Veil: A Meditation to Reconnect with Beloved Animal Companions

Most of us know the heartache of losing a cherished family member—our beloved pets. After years of shared love, laughter, and companionship, their passing can leave a deep emptiness. Yet, are they truly gone?

What if the bond you once shared could be felt again? What if communication with your animal friends who have crossed over is not only possible, but natural? You don’t need a pet psychic to bridge that connection. You can experience it yourself.

Join us for a deeply moving guided meditation that invites you to step across the gentle threshold between worlds. Through deep relaxation and guided imagery, you’ll have the opportunity to sense, see, and communicate with your pets in the peaceful realm where they now dwell

During this sacred inner journey, Diane will guide you to a level of awareness where communication with departed animal companions becomes possible. Many have found comfort, joy, and even playful surprises in discovering what their beloved pets are doing “on the other side.”

This experience can help ease grief, awaken your spiritual senses, and bring validation to those who’ve had transformative spiritual encounters. No prior experience is needed—only an open heart and a willingness to explore the unseen.

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to journey beyond the veil of separation and visit the luminous realms where love never dies. It’s easier, and more beautiful, than you might imagine.

A Catholic Priest Helps Souls Cross Over

Join Father Nathan Castle, beloved author and spiritual teacher, for an illuminating conversation about life after death and the healing power of divine love.

For more than 25 years, Father Nathan has helped “stuck souls” who died suddenly or traumatically find peace and continue their journey into the light. Working through dreams, prayer, and compassionate dialogue, he offers a rare and hope-filled perspective on how love bridges both sides of the veil.

In this live webinar, Father Nathan will share:
✨ Real-life stories from his work with souls in transition
✨ What trauma and fear can teach us about grace and forgiveness
✨ How divine love brings healing beyond the limits of time and death

Whether you’re grieving, curious about afterlife experiences, or simply seeking comfort and inspiration, this session will open your heart to the mystery and mercy that unites us all.

Fr. Nathan is the author of the “Afterlife, Interrupted” book series. For the past 27 years, his unique ministry in the Catholic Church’s mystical traditions has helped more than 500 souls move from one transitional afterlife plane to the next, more joyful one. In his latest book, “Afterlife, Interrupted Book Three: Please Let Me Explain,” he explores interrupted death experiences and their impacts on our lives. Written by a Catholic priest, the book emphasizes the power of these life-altering examples to make us more conscious, connected, and loving. Fr. Nathan dispels misconceptions about deceased loved ones being stuck and provides support for those navigating grief, emphasizing the possibility of moving forward with peace.

Fr. Nathan was a speaker at the International Association of Near-Death Studies (IANDS) Conference for the past 4 years, as well as group meetings around the U.S. He has a podcast: “The Joyful Friar” where he details the stories from his books and interviews NDE experts.

ONEness in NDEs: Rethinking Truth

What if we are not separate, but deeply connected—to each other, nature, and the spiritual realm? In this webinar, Bob Coppes shares powerful near-death experience insights revealing a profound truth: we are ONE, and love is the essence of all existence. Through these stories, he invites reflection on how this understanding can transform our view of life, death, and the soul, awakening a deeper sense of peace and connection.

What if we are not separate beings, but deeply connected—to each other, to nature, and to the spiritual realm? Many near-death experiencers (NDErs) speak of a profound truth: We are ONE, part of a greater Source. Alongside this insight comes another: Unconditional love is the essence of all existence.

In this thought-provoking webinar, Bob Coppes will guide attendees through powerful quotes from NDErs that illuminate this ONEness and bring it vividly to life. He will then weave together the themes of unity and love to reveal a central truth echoed across numerous NDE accounts: “We are ONE and LOVE binds us all.”

As this message unfolds, participants may rediscover a deeper sense of purpose and peace—grounded in the understanding that we are part of a loving whole. Bob will also explore how this ONEness reshapes our thinking about reincarnation, spiritual realms, and the enduring identity of the soul—inviting reflection, wonder, and perhaps even a touch of controversy.
