Title Columbus Friends of IANDS
Created 05/03/05
Greeting

Since 1984 Columbus, OH IANDS has offered warm, loving discussion meetings, speakers, films and research information and support to individuals who have had near-death or other spiritually transformative experiences.

Coming together to share a depth of wisdom and body of knowledge that can be cultivated, enhanced, and directed toward the greater good, participants share, listen and respond with a thoughtful, non-judgmental exchange that allows the group to enter into a deeper current of engagement with one another.

Who attends? Near-death experiencers and others who have had out-of-body or other transcendent or spiritual states, healthcare professionals, hospice/grief counselors, persons facing death or dealing with the loss of a loved one, and anyone interested in learning more about these experiences and how to live more loving and purposeful lives.

Columbus IANDS is a dynamic and exciting place for people to be part of. Please feel free to come to one meeting or many. The door is always open and we will greet you warmly. The coffee will be piping hot and the refreshments will be on hand for your enjoyment. There are no dues. Love offerings appreciated in a basket provided to offset ongoing group expenses.
