People who have had an extraordinary experience in their lives often change their perspective on human relationships and may develop special abilities to help others. The aftereffects of an Near-Death (NDE) or Spiritually Transformative Experience (STE) often prove to be the initiation of profound changes. We seek to provide a deeper understanding of these gifts, which allow all to live life with love, hope, joy, compassion, awareness, and connection to others.
OPEN TO EVERYONE including researchers and others who seek affirmation and greater awareness of these extraordinary experiences!
Our speakers this year include Eben Alexander, Bruce Greyson, Mary Neal, Pim van Lommel and many more!
