International Association for Near-Death Studies

The International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to researching and understanding near-death experiences (NDEs). It provides support for individuals who have had NDEs, promotes scientific investigation into these phenomena, and educates the public about the potential insights they offer into consciousness and spirituality. IANDS aims to foster open dialogue, share research findings, and advance knowledge about what occurs during near-death situations, contributing to a broader understanding of life, death, and human consciousness.
