Anita Moorjani shared the story of her near death experience online and it went viral. Her New York Times bestselling book, Dying to be Me chronicles an amazing story of life and hope for the planet. Anita says, "Because of my experience, I am now sharing with everyone I know that miracles are possible in your life every day. After what I've seen, I realize that absolutely anything is possible, and that we did not come here to suffer. Life is supposed to be great, and we are very, very loved. The way I look at life has changed dramatically, and I am so glad to of been given a second chance to experience 'heaven on earth.'" http://www.anitamoorjani.com

IANDS president, Diane Corcoran invites the public to join these and others who have had near death experiences—and have much to share about healing and wholeness. "Whether you've had a near death experience or not—there is much to gain from the powerful stories and insights of those who have experienced the extraordinary and returned to tell the world. Everyone is invited to come listen and learn about the lessons of living at a whole new level. This will be a life-changing event!"

Diane further explains, "Those who have had near-death or near-death-like experiences often find a greater sense of well being and purpose in life. Yet integrating the experience can be filled with challenges. The growing study of near death experiences is moving us all toward greater healing and wholeness and is helping humanity to gain greater insight into life and what it means to live fearlessly. IANDS invites everyone to come to this exciting conference and explore the extraordinary."
