Hila Baruch of Israel was our speaker Friday, May 23^rd via zoom. However, because our meeting time falls on the Jewish Sabbath, it was a recorded meeting and a live question and answer session was not possible. Hila will be available for a live Q&A at 11 am. Sunday, April 23. At 11 am

Hila is the founder of IANDS Israel and a former attorney.

Have you ever had the thought and/or feeling you’re more than who you currently know yourself to be? Hila Baruch’s story speaks to this very deep contemplation of self.

In 2014, Hila Baruch bled out following a “normal” surgery and had a near-death experience that changed her world. Having worked for years in Israel as a courtroom attorney, her experience left her with the knowledge that she is not who she thought she was and that she could no longer continue her work as before — realizations that were challenging at first but led ultimately to a real sense of freedom.

While coming to terms with her NDE, Hila discovered that Israel lacked sources of support for NDErs and felt called to create a local IANDS chapter to connect with other experiencers, raise public awareness, and provide support for those struggling with the aftereffects of similar episodes. “It’s very natural to get out of the body,” she says, “but getting back to it is another story… ”

Two years after Rose Thornton’s husband committed suicide, she was diagnosed with stage 2 cancer, and after a “minor medical procedure,” she returned to the emergency room and bled to “temporary death” and had no vital signs for 10+ minutes.

Assured by angels during her sojourn in the afterlife, Rosemary had a complete remission of cancer and rapidly healed from her medical trauma. She also had a healing from the grief of her husband’s earlier suicide. This profound NDE led her to completely transform her life.

For those looking for confirmation that NDEs are real, Rose’s atheistic neighbor who accompanied her to the emergency room saw an angel immediately after she flat lined who assured him that Rose would only be gone for a few minutes.

Rosemary’s book will be available for purchase sometime in mid April. A question and answer period will follow her presentation.

Please join us Friday, March 26th at 7 PM  to hear details of Rose’s NDE and how it profoundly changed her life.  Please share this announcement with friends who might be interested. Our meetings are free to the public. To join us on March 26th at 7 PM click on the blue link below:

We are pleased to announce that Eloise Weaver will be our speaker Friday, February 26^th. Eloise has had two brushes with death that erased the veil.

The first experience was when Eloise was nine or ten years old.  She had Rheumatic Fever and was very sick and bed-ridden for about three months.  One evening, her parents left her to take her little brother to the hospital because he had swallowed something.  Eloise was afraid and prayed for help.  Jesus came to see her, told her not to be afraid and cured her.  

The next experience occurred when Eloise, her husband and their daughter were in a terrible car accident while on vacation in Montana.  Eloise’s neck was broken and her husband was killed.  Eloise left her body and met with her husband’s spirit in the air.  He told her he was being called home but she had to stay and raise their daughters.

Please join us this Friday, October 23^rd at 7 PM  to hear details of Eloise’s experience with Jesus and her NDE with her husband and, how they profoundly changed her life.  Please share this announcement with friends who might be interested. Our meetings are free to the public. To join us on February 26 at 7 PM click on the blue link below:

We are pleased to announce that Ron Kennedy, M.D., a doctor in the San Francisco Bay area, will be our speaker this Friday, January 22^nd via zoom. 

When Dr. Kennedy returned home from a vacation and came through his front door, the house sitter, who had suffered a mental breakdown, attacked Dr. Kennedy with a knife, stabbing him repeatedly.

Dr. Kennedy will tell us what happened next, and his wonderful NDE.  His message is that even people who die in the most difficult of circumstances, like being murdered as he was, are loved by God, relatives who have passed on, and are never left alone.

Join us to hear Dr. Kennedy’s experience of love and hope this Friday, January 22^nd at 7 PM. We will meet via Zoom.  Please invite anyone you believe would be interested since this is a free event.

Ingrid Honkala PhD, became aware of other life dimensions from her near-death experience at an early age. From the moment she nearly drowned in a tank of cold water at the age of three, Ingrid was aware of other dimensions of life than those most of us normally experience. She was also gifted with the wise input of mysterious “Beings of Light” who gave her invaluable insights and assistance as she faced the challenges of growing up, falling in love, and finding her professional destiny as a research scientist and oceanographer. In a compelling life adventure that journeys from her native Colombia to Europe and her eventual home in the United States — and from a deadly war zone to underwater explorations and a NASA research center — the author reveals how any human experience can be illumined from within. If we are willing to pay attention to subtle signals, take our intuition seriously, and forgive our most challenging difficulties, anyone can experience a brightly guided life.

When she was nineteen, the Beings of Light told her, “Someday your life experiences will talk for you and you will pass our teachings to others.” In her autobiography, “A Brightly Guided Life: How a Scientist Learned to Hear her Inner Wisdom,” Ingrid reveals how after having her near-death experience (NDE), the first glimpses of heaven were revealed to her and the doors that allow her to communicate with Beings of Light were opened. Since then a myriad of experiences that many could call mystical and perhaps impossible have crossed her path. However the Beings of Light have made it clear to her that she is not here to convince anyone about anything but to be a giver of light.

We are pleased to announce that Jennifer Foley will be our speaker Friday, October 23rd. Jennifer has had two close brushes with death.

When she was 8, Jennifer was riding a horse on a narrow road when a semi-truck spooked the horse bucking her off. Jennifer fell backwards onto the pavement with a blow to the back of her head. Hospital staff determined that she had massive head trauma and might not make it through the night.  A prayer network plead for her recovery and the next morning they could find no sign of trauma whatsoever.

A week before she turned 18 on Dec. 1, 1988, she experienced her second near-fatal event.  Traveling with her boyfriend from her home in Santa Maria to Bakersfield they decided they should wear seatbelts, something they didn’t often do. She put her full seat belt and he put his on with the shoulder strap behind him.  On the highway he reached down to get a cassette tape off of the floor board and he started to go off of the right side of the road.  After she screamed he over corrected and rolled the truck four times. Danny was ejected while she remained in the truck. At the time of her brush with death she experienced something otherworldly.

Please join us this Friday, October 23^rd at 7 PM to hear what Jennifer learned from her two brushes with death. We will meet via Zoom. Close to 7 PM on your computer or smart phone click on this blue link:

ISGO of IANDS has offered to present Medy’s presentation on their platform which has several thousand viewers. The quality of their video and audio is superb. This will also change how you can view the presentation. Instructions on how to link into that presentation for free are shown below this announcement.

IANDS of Utah is pleased to announce our Setpember 25^th speaker will be Imelda Fowler. Imelda (Medy), originally from the Philippines, came to the US in 1980, where she married her husband, Tommy. They currently live in Hillsboro, Oregon. Medy, just 88 lbs. holds several world, national and state Power Lifting records in the 97 lbs. class.

In the summer of 2004, late one night, Medy found herself in intense pain. She went to the hospital where a late-night intern misdiagnosed her burst appendix. It took 14 hours (the next morning) for an attending physician to make a proper diagnosis. In the meantime, Medy had been in excruciating pain.  Once properly diagnosed, she was rushed into surgery, during which, and several times thereafter, she died and returned “home” to a celestial realm of astonishing gardens full of flowers with vibrant, vivid colors, some beyond any worldly colors. While in this world of spirits, she met our Savior Jesus as well as many deceased family members. During one visit, Medy stood before the Grand Council of Heaven with Jesus by her side. She was able to see other realms or dimensions in the spirit world including a glimpse of Hell and those who go there. While she stood above the “Plain of Hell,” she learned there is escape from that most awful place. Medy even had a brief, frightening, one-on-one encounter with Satan. The story of Medy’s NDE is told in Home and Back Again: My Journey Through The Valley Of The Shadow Of Death.

We know you have plans for the 24th. This will top your day off….

Barbara Bartolome, leader of the Santa Barbara IANDS group, will be our speaker Friday, July 24, 2020.

At 31, Barbara went to the hospital for a myelogram, a diagnostic imaging procedure that involves injecting iodine dye into the base of a patient’s neck. The dye accidentally went into her brain and within moments, she was unconscious and flat-lining. “I literally went from inside my body, and when I shut my eyes… the next second I was up on the ceiling looking down at the entire room,” she recalled. What she then saw and heard will be the subject of the NDE she will be sharing with us on Friday. Her experience has been shared in an NDE documentary as well as on the Today Show, as it provides compelling evidence, that “We are not Human Beings having a Spiritual Experience. We are Spiritual Beings having a Human Experience.”

Barbara feels her Life Purpose involves telling her NDE story and helping people to understand what NDEs teach us all about death and consciousness… and about living our life, as well!  Barbara is retired from the University of California, Santa Barbara. She was named an Unsung Heroine at UC Santa Barbara for her volunteer work, both on campus and in her community. Join us as Barbara relates some of her amazing life experiences and tells us how finally assimilating her NDE story into her life has altered it in beautiful and amazing ways!

Please join us this Friday, July 24 at 7 PM to hear the captivating story of surviving not one, but two near death experiences. We will meet via Zoom. Close to 7 PM on your computer or smart phone and click on the blue link below:
