The 2018 IANDS annual conference will focus on Aftereffects of Near-Death Experiences: A Deeper Understanding and Sharing of the Gifts. People who've 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 a Near-Death Experience (NDE), or Spiritually Transformative Experience (STE), often prove to initiate profound changes in a person's life. This conference will explore these aftereffects and provide a deeper understanding of the gifts. Presenters will discuss living life with greater love, hope, joy, compassion, awareness, and connection to others.

PMH Atwater has a unique vantage point for sharing her view of life. In 1977 she had three near-death experiences. In her third near-death experience, PMH Atwater was told by "The Voice Like None Other" to become a researcher and then to write three specific books. The result: she became one of the original researchers in the field of near-death studies, wrote 15 books on the subject, translated into 12 languages, and toured the world. 

On PMH's website http://pmhatwater.com 
readers will find an article about her three NDEs which included many of the common characteristics such as having an out-of-body experience (OBE). She also provides a chart comparing NDEs to spiritual transformations. The information includes not only her own experiences but what she learned from 4,000 interviews with people who died and came back to life. She shares many viewpoints of dying yet continuing to live.
