Upstate NY IANDS (UNYI)

Syracuse Discussion/Interest Group

Contact: Dave@UNYI.org

The International Association for Near Death Studies (IANDS) mission is to build global understanding of near-death and near-death-like experiences through research, education, and support. Upstate NY IANDS (UNYI) Offers this research, education and support to the upstate NY area from Buffalo to Syracuse, through central regional meetings and local discussion/interest groups.

		IANDS has evolved from an organization serving mainly researchers to a much more inclusive one. Today IANDS serves individual needs in five distinct areas: Experiencers -- those people who have had a near-death or near-death-like experience. We provide publications, contact with other experiencers, and the opportunity to explore their experience in a local small group setting. Those close to experiencers -- benefit from the same information as experiencers, in terms of learning how to adjust to the changes in the experiencer they know. How to use this understanding to help themselves, the experiencer and others. Professional caregivers and volunteers -- access to the latest educational materials on experiencer needs and how to recognize the symptoms that ARE NOT from dreams, hallucinations, fantasies, reactions to medications and the like. Explore a wide range of information supporting the needs of the terminally ill. Researchers -- access to the world's foremost team exploring this phenomenon and the opportunity to contribute by providing corroboration through a multi-disciplinary approach. Interested seekers -- many individuals have come to look and stayed to contribute, often from finding a sense of purpose and a satisfying outlet for the basic need to have meaningful relationships with others of a similar interest.
We have two types of IANDS meetings in Upstate NY Local Discussion/Interest Groups: This group include both experiencers and non-experiencers, and are open to everyone. These meetings start with a designated person who shares their experience or a topic is presented, then we go into open discussion. Not a therapy, these groups offer people the opportunity to be in a safe environment with others “who know what it’s like”. Regional Presentations: Four times a year we hold Special Events. In these meeting we may invite authors, and speakers, or show movies, so we may bring in interesting and fascinating accounts of near-death experiences into our area. These meetings are for a broader range of people and appeal to those who are more comfortable in a “learning” atmosphere.
