How We're Helping

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.

When We Meet

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. You have the option of joining by phone; or not being on video when using ipad, computer, or phone, if preferred.

Jason Janas's Bio, September Guest Speaker for IANDS

In Jason's words:

"On April 2, 2020 I came home from work like any other day. I was eating dinner when I began to cough up vast amounts of blood. Breathing became extremely difficult! I remember moving to the kitchen sink where I continued coughing up blood. I began to frantically face time my ex wife, who is a RN for help. That was all I remember!

The next memory I have was waking up in the ICU on a ventilator! There was an IV in my neck, a tube in my mouth and my hands and feet were strapped to the bed. I could not move. I was in extreme pain through my whole body. There were several nurses calling my name and asking me if I knew where I was and who I was! From the time I awoke, ( I have no clue what day or what time it was) I remember that it was dark outside! I instantly turned my head to the upper left of my ICU room. There was someone standing there. Not the nurses, not the doctors, but someone was standing there. I could not see him!

The entire time I was in the ICU, that undeniable presence was there! I could feel him. It got to the point that one of the nurses asked me if I’d like the TV on. I could not speak with the tube in my throat! So I just motioned my head and said no. How do you explain to someone that there’s someone standing there? I could feel him like the air I breathe. I never had Covid! The doctors had no explanation as of to why and what happened to me. By the time I left the hospital I was healthy!"

Jason, a former Catholic, will share how his NDE changed his views on religion. He wants everyone to come and feel the love. "I’m here to help all those needing it!" He will share a "simple message of love." "God gives you what you need, not what you want."
