We are a nonprofit organization focused on introducing the public to individuals who have had life changing spiritual experiences. Folks return from these experiences with no fear of death, more love of others, and changed priorities. Many times they embrace spiritual or charity work. They believe they have a calling to share their experiences with others. These talks give hope, comfort and direction to the listener. Although each experience is different, there are commonalities; being above the body and looking down on it, going through a tunnel, meeting loved ones who have passed on, feeling totally loved, and being greeted and embraced by a Being of Light and Wisdom. This realm is felt as being much more real than the earthly realm. It feels like "home." Although by far most experiences are reported as being positive, hellish experiences have been reported. Even so, some people report being rescued by the Being of Light.
We are doing Zoom meetings.
Before COVID we would meet the last Saturday of the month at the James City Library, 7770 Croaker Rd., Williamsburg, Va. Our zoom meetings are now being held on the third Saturday of every month, from 11 AM to 1 PM (approximately).
During our meetings we listen to the speakers, ask questions, have discussion, give feedback and/or share our personal experiences if we wish. There is no pressure to participate. If you have had a Near Death Experience or if you have any questions, please email Hope Dillard at hhopedillard@gmail.com. See below for more information. To get on the Zoom email list please email Hope Dillard at hhopedillard@gmail.com You will need to download the zoom app, which is free.

Have you ever asked yourself any of these questions? What will it feel like when I die—to be dead? Will I be aware of my life and loved ones on earth after I die? Will I still have all my senses; my sight, my hearing, my voice, my touch? Will I be able to love and be loved? Will I be frightened? Will I be happy? Will I still be “me”?
Andy is just a regular guy who happened to drown, die, go down a tunnel into the Light, and then return, unwillingly, to earth. This all happened during his 1955 senior high school graduation picnic. He is able to remember EXACTLY what happened to him when he drowned, was earth-dead, and popped into the Light.
After being in the Light, for what seemed like a very long time (but it was only about 10 minutes earth time), the Light told him he had to return to earth ... and he was stuffed back into his lifeless body. He was not given a manual, any special instructions, missions, or tasks to tell others about his encounter with the Light. He was confused, frightened, very sad and angry for many years. Over 25 years past before he found out what he really experienced. It occurred in 1975 when he read Dr. Raymond Moody’s book, “Life After Life.” He found out that he had a Near Death Experience (NDE).
Now he shares his memories in the Light through his books and speaking engagements. He remembers that he was filled with ecstasy, joy, and unconditional love when he was in the Light. He didn’t want to return to earth. And he is very anxious to return Home ... to be absorbed back into the Light again ...
(Note: 30 years ago Andy started waking up in the middle of the night with strange words, phrases, and images spinning around in his mind. He couldn’t go back to sleep until he got up, went to the den, and wrote the poetry that appeared in the whiteboard in his mind. After writing the poem he would go back to sleep. This process occurred for around 20 years. Finally, he decided to write a book about his adventure in the Light with the poems he had written and collected over the years. “Remembering The Light Through Prosetry,” was published in October 2011. He completed and published his second book, “Alive In The Light,” in 2014.)
