International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS)

The International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to research, education, and support related to near-death experiences (NDEs). It brings together individuals who have had NDEs, researchers, and healthcare professionals to better understand these phenomena—moments where people report vivid, transformative experiences during close encounters with death or unconsciousness. IANDS aims to promote scientific investigation, share personal stories, and provide resources to those affected, fostering a community and advancing knowledge about the physical, psychological, and spiritual aspects of near-death experiences.
