Dr. Eunice Gorman will be presenting an informative and interactive lecture on near death experiences on Monday, September 26, from 4-6 p.m. in KC 004 for the Than Clan, the academic thanatology club at King's. A near death experience (NDE) is a personal experience associated with death or impending death, encompassing multiple possible sensations including detachment from the body, feelings of levitation, total serenity, security, warmth, the experience of absolute dissolution, the presence of a light and even more! All are our welcome to our first event of the year, and we hope to see you for this engaging and FREE lecture!

Pope Francis' encyclical, Laudato Si, is truly addressed to everyone on the planet.
