Richmond IONS October 2020 Meeting

“What Really Happens in the Afterlife?”

Our October 17, 2020 program will feature a talk by Debra Diamond, Ph.D. She is a renowned Baltimore psychic, medium, author and death doula. Debra will speak about her book Diary of a Death Doula: 25 Lessons the Dying Teach Us About the Afterlife (2019).

Sooner or later, everyone eventually asks questions about end of life. What happens to me when my physical body dies? Is there an afterlife? If so, where do I go? Do my loved ones meet me? Will they usher me to the next plane of existence?

Based on Debra’s work as a death doula and medium, she will provide us with practical insights into how to deal with someone who is dying and a better understanding for communication and acceptance at end of life and death.

She will explain how our loved ones in spirit are present at end of life and how our energy fields and chakras transform at end of life. In addressing these issues, Debra will explain how consciousness transforms at end of life and death.

A New Understanding of Death

Debra will provide us with a new understanding of death, not as an end as so many believe, but as a doorway and transition into the next leg of our soul’s journey, and as an opportunity for transformation, both personally and collectively.

Thoughtful, compelling and engaging, Debra’s Diary of a Death Doula offers fascinating and profound new insights into the soul’s journey at end of life and in the afterlife. As a gifted psychic and medium, Debra brings a unique perspective to her volunteer work as a death doula at a hospice facility. She is able to participate in remarkable ways with her subjects in their transitional and transformational journeys into the afterlife.

We first met Debra in May of 2016, when she addressed our group about her then just published first book, Life After Near Death. Her Diary talk promises to be another rare treat for our group. We are very pleased to have her back for a return engagement.

Richmond IONS Meeting, August 15, 2015

Featuring a talk by Douglas Kinney

“Exploring Heaven and the Afterlife.”

Our August program will feature a talk by Silver Spring author, researcher, Newton trained LBL (Life-Between-Lives) therapist and blogger Douglas Kinney.

What (if anything) happens to us when we die? Does some aspect of our consciousness continue? Is there a soul or an afterlife? Is heaven real? Is reincarnation real? These questions and more are the focus of Douglas Kinney’s seminal book, Frontiers of Knowledge: Scientific and Spiritual Sources for a New Era, and will be the focus of our August program.

Organized religions address these subjects as well, but most offer no empirical information about them.

Douglas Kinney’s educational, professional and career background is in science, engineering and systems analysis,
and he approaches these seemingly unapproachable subjects from these perspectives.

Before embarking on his quest to find answers to life’s seemingly unanswerable questions, Doug spent many years working as a systems analyst for Office of the Secretary of Defense, then for Northrop Grumman and other defense contractors, and finally for Johns Hopkins University’s Applied Physics Laboratory.

Doug’s scientific and analytical grounding informs his approach to these subjects and brings to it a seldom seen degree of credibility. Doug’s hypothesis is that through systematic analysis and integration of various information sources, including NDEs, LBL accounts, past-life accounts and others, we now have available to us substantial data and ever greater insights about the afterlife, the existence and nature of souls, the “sociology” of the soul realm, the purpose of incarnating on a physical plane, etc. If these subjects are ever to be demystified and de-woo wooed, it will take people like Douglas Kinney to do it, and we are very pleased to have him as our August 15 guest speaker.

About Our Presenter:

As mentioned above, Douglas Kinney’s educational, professional and career background is in science, engineering, and systems analysis. He spent many years working as a defense systems analyst and engineer for the Office of the Secretary of Defense, Northrop Grumman and other defense contractors, and Johns Hopkins University’s Applied Physics Laboratory.

His spiritual background includes being ordained as a New Thought (Religious Science) minister, a certified spiritual hypnotist in past-life and between-lives-regression, and a Newton-trained LBL therapist. He has authored two books, Frontiers of Knowledge: Scientific and Spiritual Sources for a New Era and Framework of Reality: Understanding Our Subtle Spiritual Nature.
