Regular Meeting Times
*** AUGUST 13 - No Meeting ***
*** SEPTEMBER 10 - (Via Zoom) Reverend Catherine Chapey ***
Reverend Catherine Chapey was born into an NDE and had multiple childhood STEs. Years later, in adulthood, her deceased grandparents and a friend who ended his life began to communicate with her. She eventually found a Spiritualist church, learned to meditate, and sat in unfoldment circle every week for years, which all led to a spontaneous spiritual/Kundalini awakening in 2007 & 2008. Today, she continues to experience an ongoing unfolding of consciousness which helps in her own life as well as allowing her to be of service to others who are having similar experiences – NDE’s, STE’s, UFO’s, ET’s and more. On Wednesday, September 10, at 7:00 pm Central Time, Catherine will join us via Zoom from her home in New York to share and show what she has learned. “We Are All Connected,” she says. “We Are All One.” Bring your curiosity and questions for Catherine, and join us as we spend an evening exploring the extraordinary.
*** OCTOBER 8 - (In Person) Patricia Ballentine ***
Have Near-Death Experiences (NDEs) made you less fearful of death? Today - some fifty years after Dr. Raymond Moody's book, "Life After Life", named the phenomenon we now know as the NDE, and brought the concept itself into wide public consciousness - is our view of death evolving into a new, 21st century understanding? Or, did our ancestors know something about death and dying that we moderns have forgotten?
Patricia Ballentine is a local Death Midwife. She writes:
"Death Midwifery is a return to the hands-on ways kith and kin predominantly cared for their beloveds at the end of life and into the grave prior to the 19th century. The death threshold was as close as the family parlor. Time was allowed for the spirit to journey on and the body to rest at home before being taken to the grave. Family rituals and practices dictated the process rather than the funeral industry.
A mystical experience at the deathbed of my father revealed his journey through the veils accompanied by his dead beloveds. My vision and comfort with that threshold led me to my current work as a Death Midwife."
On Wednesday, October 8, at 7:00 pm Central Time, Patricia will be with us in person to discuss her work and experiences. Please join us.
We ask you to consider making a "Love Offering" (no more than $10) - requested but not expected; please, only what you can afford - to cover the cost of renting the room.

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.
