Regular Meeting Times
*** November 11 (In Person) Dr. Jan Holden ***
At the 2026 IANDS conference in Seattle, our DFW Friends of IANDS founder and co-leader, Jan Holden gave a presentation titled “Veridical Perception in Near-Death Experiences,” (NDEs), talking about instances where the experiencer reports details which are both verifiable and simultaneously impossible for them to have been aware of through normal conscious perception, including attempts by researchers to study the phenomenon. Jan will reprise her conference presentation in person for us at 7:00 pm (Central Time) on Wednesday, November 11, in Flower Mound. Discussion to follow. Please join us.
*** December 9 (Via Zoom) Kathy Mason ***
In 2004, Kathy Mason found herself outside her body, immersed in what felt like the consciousness of God. Above her flowed a river of fiery light, and she saw her own body glowing in white and golden light, and she didn’t want to leave. In time she understood that the experience wasn’t asking her to stay in the light, but to bring the light back with her. Kathy will be with us live from her home in Colorado via Zoom on Wednesday, December 9, at 7:00 pm (Central Time) to trace her search for unconditional love that began in childhood. She will share about her years as an award-winning retailer, community leader and mother, and the long, often lonely work of integrating an experience she had no words for, while offering a simple three-part practice for honoring a spiritual calling and bringing it into the world. All are welcome.
*** January 13 (In Person) To be Announced ***

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.
