Military has not been represented equally in the previous conferences due to individuals fear of speaking out. This year we have made a real attempt to increase the number of military participants in this year’s conference, in both individual and panels.
Dr. Diane Corcoran >> Diane obtained her PhD in Nursing from the University of TX at Austin in 1981. At that time, she was also serving as an Officer in the U. S. Army – with a career that lasted 25 years. She heard her first NDE account from a young soldier. In 1981 a new organization was incorporated and is now known as the International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS). Diane has served on the Board of Directors numerous times, and this includes many years as President. She helped facilitate research conducted on the reality of events which we now know as Near-Death Experiences (NDEs). Diane now has her own consulting firm and that young soldier in Vietnam — he had told Diane about his NDE before there was a name for these type experiences

Chase De Mayo >> Chase Skylar DeMayo is a US Air Force Veteran Who Died April 1st, 2008, and sent back to spread laughter, light, love and joy with the world. After a Near-Death Experience through cardiac arrest in 2008 while stationed at Langley Air Force Base, Chase kept his Near-Death Experience private in fear of judgement and retribution for twelve years until now. Through the work Lilia Samoilo and Diane Corcoran have done to educate Veterans; Chase hopes to continue that message help heal others and allow them to Chase the Light. To keep in touch with Chase and hear more about his experiences and journey, visit ChaseSkylar.com

Scott Drummond >> After 40 years of public silence about his spiritual experience, disabled Vietnam Veteran, Scott Drummond finally decided to share his NDE from age 28. A filmmaker friend who knew Scott’s story, politely coaxed him to be filmed sharing his NDE publicly. Once uploaded to YouTube, it went viral, making him an international sensation with over 17M views. Scott experienced Heaven when pronounced dead for 20 minutes, and no longer fears dying, and wants to share his experience now to give hope and joy to people who are struggling with the fear of dying during the Covid-19 pandemic

Genny Krackau >> Genny, author of “Beyond the Explosion”, is a life resident of San Antonio, Texas. She spent the majority of her Civil Service career working in the U.S. Army Medical Department (AMEDD), Fort Sam Houston, Texas. After her retirement she worked several government contract jobs within the AMEDD. Of special interest was a research study with wounded warriors for combat related injuries. Additional research included military and burn injuries, as well as supporting a clinical trial for head injury patients, hearing conservation research for the military (Department of Defense Hearing Center of Excellence) and currently supporting a research study in Emergency Department trauma. Her sincere dedication and compassion for the patient is evident as she always puts the patient first and foremost in any job she performs. It is no surprise that by compiling these combat near-death experience stories for her book, she once again is serving the military in a very unique and special way. Genny personally relates to the near-death experiencer since she herself has had spiritual experiences. She understands the difficulty in discussing these personal experiences

Minutes
In this two-hour interactive workshop developed by the Monroe Institute, Emilie Thomas and Sky Waterpeace will introduce participants to the power of the Insititute’s sound technology and its ability to aid them in attaining and holding expanded states of awareness beyond our physical waking reality. Not only will the leaders explain the technology that facilitates such explorations, identifying several states that have been replicated by researchers at the Monroe Institute, but attendees will also have the opportunity to explore such expanded states for themselves through the use of Monroe Sound Science during the workshop. This experiential introduction to developing awareness beyond our physical bodies, performed with consciousness and intention, can serve to follow Institute founder Robert Monroe’s advice: “Don’t believe what I say- go and find out for yourself.”
Emilie Thomas, MA, LMFT, is a certified Outreach Trainer and Guest Trainer at the Monroe Institute in Virginia. Having explored the endless dimensions of human consciousness through various types of meditation since she was a child, Emilie learned early on that death is a passage and not an end. In her preliminary training to become a licensed psychotherapist in California, Emilie served as a hospital chaplain, where she had the opportunity and privilege of midwifing patients’ transitions—a privilege that eventually extended into her personal life as well with her own loved ones. Emilie now has a transpersonal psychotherapy practice in Virginia where she practices relationship centered therapy, focusing on finding meaning, connection, and purpose for our sojourns in this life.



A mathematician and hyper-rational former atheist, Sky Pelletier Waterpeace had two NDEs several years apart, the first at age 20 where he experienced a vivid NDE while a pedestrian in a car crash. This led ultimately to a complete transformation of his understanding of reality and of the nature of his true self. One result of this understanding has been the elimination of conscious fear of death, along with a willingness to pursue what he believes to be the right path for this human lifetime without fear of judgement. Sky believes this conveys great freedom in life and earnestly desires to share this experience of freedom with others.

What important lessons do Near-Death Experiences have in common and how can those life-changing lessons inspire us to loving action in our daily lives whether we’ve had an NDE or not? This inspiring and interactive workshop synthesizes and shares the main messages of 5,000 NDE accounts into 10 practical and powerful lessons we can use to live our lives more lovingly, fully, and fearlessly here on earth.
After almost suffering a widow-maker heart attack at the young age of 42, author Jeff Janssen sought answers to Life’s Biggest Questions like: who am I, why are we here, and what happens to us when we die? After studying over 5,000 NDEs, Jeff synthesized their findings into the 10 Life-Changing Lessons from Heaven so he and others could benefit from their profound wisdom. Because learning about the Life Review had such a profound impact on his life, he then wrote Your Life’s Ripple Effect. Jeff has also written a book for those grieving the loss of loved ones called Comforting Truths from Heaven and one for kids who have lost a loved one called What You’ll Learn in Heaven.

Near-death experiencers speak of the amazing force of love at the heart of the spiritual realm. Other related phenomena such as end-of-life dreams and visions, after death communications, and terminal lucidity verify that love is the fundamental glue that binds us all together. Learning to harness this love in our daily lives is key to living a fuller life individually and ultimately changing the world for the better. Using specialized brainwave entrainment audio recordings, we can learn to bypass the thinking mind and get more in touch with the love that connects us with the heart of the universe. Living with this understanding is a conducive pathway to achieving spiritual growth. If spiritual growth is the ultimate aim in life, then it becomes imperative for each of us to help create peaceful and functioning communities that support an individual’s pursuit of spiritual life. Regular spiritual practices and actions help all other aspects of life to naturally fall into place.
Eben Alexander, MD, was an academic neurosurgeon for over 25 years, including 15 years at the Brigham & Women’s Hospital, Children’s Hospital, and Harvard Medical School in Boston. In 2008, during a week-long coma from an inexplicable brain infection, he experienced a transcendental near-death experience (NDE) that completely transformed his worldview. A pioneering scientist and modern thought leader in the emerging science that acknowledges the primacy of consciousness in the universe, he is the author of the New York Times #1 bestseller Proof of Heaven, The Map of Heaven, and Living in a Mindful Universe. http://ebenalexander.com/
