What happens when we come close to death—and what can these extraordinary experiences teach us about life?
Join us for a fascinating 2½-hour exploration of Near-Death Experiences (NDEs) and the growing body of research surrounding them. Through scientific research, compelling first-person accounts, selected video clips, and open discussion, we will examine what people report experiencing at the boundary between life and death and the profound ways these experiences can transform their lives.
We’ll explore the work of leading NDE researchers, common elements reported across cultures and belief systems, and questions surrounding consciousness and the nature of human existence. We’ll also look at what happens after an NDE, including frequently reported changes in spirituality, purpose, relationships, fear of death, intuition, and how experiencers view their lives.
Whether you approach NDEs from a spiritual perspective, a scientific one, or simply with curiosity, this class offers a welcoming and judgment-free space to explore one of life’s greatest mysteries.
Topics will include:
- Scientific and medical research into Near-Death Experiences
- Common characteristics of NDEs
- NDE accounts across different cultures and belief systems
- Life reviews, encounters with light, and other frequently reported experiences
- How NDEs can transform a person’s outlook on life and death
- Spiritual and intuitive changes reported after NDEs
- What NDE accounts may teach us about how we live our lives today
No previous knowledge of Near-Death Experiences is necessary—just bring your curiosity and an open mind.
