This June 1st to June 7th, we’d love for you to join the International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS) as we host the first-ever Near-Death Experience Week. Our goal is to educate the public on NDEs and normalize conversations about near-death experiences and related phenomena.
Join us for a free panel discussion with two inspiring experiencers, a special edition of the IANDS Afterlife Revealed Podcast, and new IANDS Q&A and IANDS Glossary content here on IANDS.org.

Results from a new NDE poll to be revealed soon, too
In advance of this special week, IANDS worked with Centiment and surveyed 2,100 Americans about NDEs. We asked people whether they themselves had crossed into other realms and then returned to their human lives (22 percent said they had!) or whether they knew someone who had an NDE (35 percent said they knew someone who had!).
We also asked Americans about their views on death and the afterlife, whether they think science supports the NDE phenomena and whether humanity can learn from these experiences.
The full results are fascinating and will be released publicly May 28 in a national press release.
