Life Matters: Near Death Experiences with Robert Cornett
December 3 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
A Presentation on Near Death Experiences
by Robert Cornett, MTS
Robert Cornett will present key findings of major researchers in the field of near death experiences. This subject has been getting a good deal of media attention in recent years as more and more people are sharing their stories about coming close to death during a serious accident or medical crisis, being declared clinically dead and then surviving. They describe leaving their bodies and traveling through a tunnel, meeting light beings or dead relatives and having profound spiritual experiences that change their lives.
The presentation will include an overview of the major research in the field since 1975; common characteristics and themes in near death experiences; the phenomenon of shared death experiences with family members at the bedside of a dying person; and near death awareness in terminally ill patients. A Q&A discussion will follow.
