Topics:
New research! France Lerner shares: • NDEs are difficult to fully express through words alone, which creates limitations for research that relies only on narrative interview data.
• This talk introduces an alternative, hybrid method that combines chronological segmentation of the experience with participant-generated graphic reconstructions.
• The approach is designed to capture spatial, perceptual, and embodied aspects of NDEs and OBEs that may not emerge through verbal reports, offering researchers a complementary tool for future studies.

Topics:
In 1988, Lesley Lupo was crushed by a stampede of horses and pronounced dead—yet she remained conscious, watching from nearby. What followed was a journey she calls “Upstairs,” where she encountered beings of light and chose whether to return to life. Her story traces recovery, reckoning, and the moment she realized there is more beyond the physical world.
