***SEPTEMBER 13 - (Via Zoom) Christa Marie, RN
In 1998, Christa Marie was a nursing student and a young mother when she was involved in a high-speed car accident. Bracing for impact, she heard a beautiful voice saying, "You'll be okay," and completely trusted the message, even though she suffered a traumatic brain injury, losing nearly all memory in the process. Twenty-two years later, she was fading from COVID when she left her body and met God, who said to her, "It's a mess down there." She knew she had to come back and returned with the ability to heal. Join us virtually on Wednesday, September 13th at 7:00 pm (Central Time) to hear Christa tell of her remarkable experiences and her ongoing work as an energy healer.

***OCTOBER 11 - (In Person) Alex Haley's NDE
Alex Haley was a practicing attorney in Oklahoma when, in 2002, she was given an overdose of morphine and subsequently put on life support. While unconscious, she had what she thought was just a very vivid dream. Two years later, while reading the Dalai Lama’s book, "Advice on Dying," she recognized that her “dream” was, in fact, a visit to the Buddhist death bardos, a realization that triggered a complete spiritual awakening and thoroughly upended her life. She stopped practicing law, sold everything, and began a profound spiritual journey that continues to this day. Join us at the church on Wednesday, October 11th, at 7:00 p.m. to hear Alex share about her experience and its aftermath.
See you there,
Pete and Jan

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. Although we meet in a Methodist church, the group is not affiliated with the Methodist–or any specific–religion. The church is conveniently located, and they gave us permission to use a meeting room without charge. However, those who attend and who can afford to do so are asked to make a $1 contribution to the church for our use of their meeting room.
