Authors and experts are getting together this year to discuss the possibility of near-death experiencers having enhanced abilities including artistic, healing and psychic abilities. One of the only research organizations in the world dedicated to the scientific study of near-death experiences is having a conference with the theme, "Transformed in the Light: Helping Humanity with Enhanced Abilities after NDEs."

The association is called The International Association for Near Death Studies, IANDS, and the conference takes place in San Diego this October 16-17, 2009. Near-death experiencers and researchers will come together to share the truth about so-called "death" and the implications for our lives.

Everyone is invited to the conference. The theme "Transformed in the Light: Helping Humanity with Enhanced Abilities after NDEs," reflects the many psychic, healing, and artistic abilities near-death survivors discover they have and the changes they make in their life's direction.
