Regular Meeting Times
*** MAY 14 - (In Person) Vinney Todd Tolman's 2024 Keynote Address ***
In 2003, Vinney Todd Tolman overdosed on a bodybuilding supplement and died. He watched from above, thinking, “what a strange movie,” as EMS put him in a body bag for transport to the morgue. He then saw everything as one of the attendants broke protocol enroute, unzipped the bag, and defibrillated “the body,” not realizing he was actually watching himself until he was strapped to a gurney at the hospital. Vinney was a keynote speaker at last year’s IANDS conference in Phoenix, where the remarkable story of his near-death experience (NDE) and its aftermath was one of the highlights of the event. On Wednesday, May 14th, at 7:00 pm Central Time, we will meet in person at the Flower Mound Community Activity Center (Elm Room) to watch a video of Vinney’s keynote address, followed by discussion. Please join us for what promises to be an enlightening and uplifting evening.
We look forward to seeing you!

*** JUNE 11 - (Via Zoom) Danielle Slupesky's NDE ***
In 2013, Danielle Slupesky came face-to-face with her own mortality through a prolonged, harrowing medical crisis. She barely survived, but in the midst of that crisis, had a near-death experience (NDE) that transformed her life. No longer afraid of death and dying, she now works as an End-of-Life Coach and as a Death Doula based out of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Danielle’s story highlights the power of surrender and acceptance, the perils of unconscious living, and how our lives are permeated with important messages that we often too easily miss. Hers is a story that will enlighten, challenge, and encourage anyone who listens. On Wednesday, June 11, at 7:00 pm Central Time, she will join us live via Zoom from her home in Albuquerque to share a detailed account of her NDE and how it changed her. Please bring your curiosity and your questions for Danielle as we explore the significance of her experience for all of us.
Join us!

Other Information
The DFW Friends of IANDS exists for people who’ve had near-death and/or related experiences or who have personal or professional interest in such experiences. The purpose of the group is to provide these people with a forum in which to discuss such experiences and their meaning and integration into subsequent life. Discussion takes place in an atmosphere of openness and interest/support without judgment, proselytizing, or advice-giving.
Our meeting content varies from month to month. Sometimes we have a structured program, such as a speaker or watching a relevant video followed by discussion. Other times, we “circle up” and discuss our own NDEs and related experiences and their ongoing meaning in our lives.
