Regular Meeting Times
*** August — There is no meeting in August ***
*** September 9 (In Person) With Jessica Tucker ***
“Third Man Syndrome” refers to a phenomenon where people in life-threatening situations sense an invisible presence, variously felt to be a guardian angel, a divine being or a deceased love one offering desperately need guidance. The phenomenon is often part of drowning near-death experiences (NDEs), and Jessica Tucker, who had a near-drowning as a child, has been investigating folklore, mythology, and cultural images of mermaids and other benevolent water spirits, uncovering a potential relationship between NDEs, Third Man Syndrome, and mermaid traditions. Jessica will join us in-person in Flower Mound on Wednesday, September 9, at 7:00 pm Central Time, to share her experience, her work, and to explore with us whether some longstanding stories of water beings may reflect the same underlying phenomenon reported in aquatic NDEs. Please 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.
