INDIA—Linju Ann Alias is from Kerala and will share a phenomenological study of NDEs—which is the study of the phenomena of near-death experiences of cardiac arrest survivors.

MEXICO—Ana Cecilia González, MD, will join us from the Mexican state of Nuevo León. She will be part of a panel of other doctors who have each had an NDE.

The NETHERLANDS—Christophor (Bob) Coppes, PhD Economics, will present "Please, Don't Turn NDEs into a New Religion," as an expansion of the revelations shared in his book Messages from The Light (2011), which is now translated both in Dutch and German for the European market.
