IANDS: Afterlife Revealed

In this episode, Dani Foffa talks to world-leading NDE expert Dr. Pim van Lommel who explores how NDEs lead to lasting changes—loss of fear of death, belief in a personal afterlife, heightened intuition, and a deep sense of unity, love, and compassion—raising fundamental questions about consciousness beyond the brain.  Pim worked as a cardiologist at Rijnstate Hospital for 26 years and published several articles on cardiology. He then started his research on near-death experiences (NDEs) in survivors of cardiac arrest in 1986, and he has authored over 20 articles, one book under the title Consciousness Beyond Life, and numerous book chapters on NDEs. He was a co-founder of the Dutch IANDS in 1988. In 2001, his prospective NDE study (the largest in the world) was published in the medical journal The Lancet. In 2005, he was awarded the Dr. Bruce Greyson Research Award by the International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS). In 2020, Spiritual Awakenings International (SAI) honored him as a Circle of Honor honoree for his groundbreaking work on near-death experiences. In 2021, the Bigelow Institute for Consciousness Studies (BICS) launched an international essay contest for the best scientific evidence of a possible afterlife. With his essay entitled The Continuity of Consciousness, Dr. van Lommel won second prize. In 2022, he became an Honorary Member of the Scientific and Medical Network (SMN), and in 2024 he became an IANDS Advisory Board Member. His book was first published in Germany in 2009 and later released in English by HarperCollins in 2010 Consciousness Beyond Life: The Science of the Near-Death Experience. That same year, the book received the 2010 Book Award from the Scientific and Medical Network. In this episode, Dr. van Lommel discusses how he first entered this field of research, what decades of scientific study have revealed about consciousness continuing beyond the moment of death, and the profound insights he has gained along the way, so be sure to watch until the end! ✨Dr. Pim’s Website - https://pimvanlommel.nl/en/ ✨Dr. Pim’s book “Consciousness beyond life” - https://a.co/d/064PDAI3 ✨Dani’s Instagram - dfoffa   ✨Dani’s Facebook - dani.foffa   ✨IANDS Facebook - iands.nde   ✨IANDS Instagram - iands_nde ✨ Join IANDS: https://iands.org ✨ IANDS online events, groups and more: https://isgo.iands.org ✨ The 2026 IANDS Conference will be held in Bellevue, Washington from Aug 26 - 30

In this episode, Dani Foffa sits down with afterlife researcher and podcaster Liz Entin. A self-described logical atheist, Liz began investigating evidence for the afterlife and the paranormal in 2015 after her father passed away. Though she remains skeptical and identifies as an atheist, the research she uncovered—from near-death experiences to mediumship studies and consciousness science—left a profound impact on her. Inspired by the work of Dr. Bruce Greyson, Dr. Melvin Morse, Dr. Jan Holden, the Windbridge Research Center, and IONS, Liz shares how her exploration led to deep personal shifts: reduced fear of death, greater purpose, emotional growth, and a conviction that consciousness may survive physical death. This conversation delves into grief, spirituality, neuroscience, mediumship protocols, and the possibility of consciousness beyond the brain. Liz reflects on what she’s learned during years of investigation and offers thoughtful advice for those grieving as well as those who remain skeptical. Liz Entin is the host of the WTF Just Happened?! podcast and leads “Science and Spirituality” private events, where small groups can learn about afterlife research and receive readings from scientifically tested evidential mediums.

In this episode, Dani Foffa sits down with IANDS President Dr. Jan Holden to explore some of the most compelling questions in near-death experience (NDE) research. Dr. Holden shares groundbreaking insights into veridical perception, lucid awareness during cardiac arrest, and what current science suggests about consciousness operating beyond the brain. Together, they dive into how NDE research connects with after-death communication, shared-death experiences, and near-death-like experiences that occur without clinical death. Dr. Holden discusses why these cases point toward consciousness as fundamental and possibly eternal, and how we may be witnessing a global shift from a purely material worldview to a more spiritual and interconnected understanding of reality. She also offers practical guidance for therapists, clinicians, and healthcare providers who support experiencers, shares her own ketamine-assisted transformative experience, and reflects on how decades of studying NDEs have shaped her views on life, death, and the deeper nature of existence.

In this episode, host Dani Foffa speaks with Nancy Maier Lipari, a remarkable near-death experiencer (NDE) whose journey offers profound insight into life, death, and the power of love. In 1975, Nancy fell from the top of a ladder, rupturing her liver and leaving her hovering between life and death for three days. During that time, she experienced a transformative near-death experience—leaving her body, traveling through a realm of pure light and love, and undergoing a life review that revealed how deeply our thoughts and actions affect others. Nancy’s NDE opened her awareness to other realities existing beside our own, showing that everything in life is connected by love. In this conversation, she shares how that experience helped her support her son’s transition to the other side, the lessons she learned about God and the meaning of life, and the ongoing process of integrating her spiritual awakening into everyday living. This episode is a timeless reminder that love is the purpose of life, and that even the smallest acts of kindness echo across eternity. Nancy's book, Dancing with the Divine NOW, is a vessel for transformation. The call is to co-create Heaven NOW and is more action-oriented and community-driven than many titles that focus solely on personal insight. It’s not just about awakening—it’s about embodying divinity in daily life.

What is an NDE? A near-death experience (NDE) is typically a profound, life changing, intensely emotional experience that usually occurs during a clinical crisis and has common characteristics and aftereffects. It is not a dream, hallucination, or mental illness (Greyson, 1983). There are no predictive variables to identify who will have an NDE. They happen to people of all ages, religions, socio-economic groups, cultures, educational backgrounds, and belief systems. They occur under a variety of circumstances such as accidents, near-drownings, illnesses, combat, surgical procedures, and childbirth. Following an NDE, experiencers (NDErs) often display some common aftereffects. Research has established a set of common NDE characteristics and long-term aftereffects. Theories used to explain near-death experiences in purely physical terms have been proven inadequate by NDE researchers and others.

In this episode, Dani Foffa talks with Heather Tesch, former meteorologist and host of BEYOND, about what she’s learned from hundreds of Near-Death Experiences (NDEs) and Spiritually Transformative Experiences (STEs).

In this episode, Dani Foffa interviews Peter Panagore, a former pastor and near-death experiencer whose 1980 NDE while ice climbing in the Canadian Rockies transformed his understanding of life, death, and God. Peter describes his union with the Divine, a profound life review, the vast cosmic Void, and his choice to return to life. His experience erased belief and replaced it with direct knowing. Together, we explore how to integrate an NDE, faith vs. belief, mysticism, spiritual awakening, the Bible through a mystical lens, and even how love and ethics can guide artificial intelligence. After his NDE, Peter dedicated his life to sharing messages of Love, Light, and the Soul’s eternal nature. A longtime practitioner of Centering Prayer, meditation, and Kriya Yoga, he spent fifteen years as an NBC-TV storyteller and now hosts Not Church: Mysticism No Doctrine No Dogma on YouTube, where he offers deep insights on the afterlife and spiritual consciousness.
