Dr. Raymond Moody
RMEC is very proud to present Dr. Raymond Moody as our key note speaker for the 2021 conference.

Discover what the medical doctor and philosopher learned in 50 years of investigating near-death experiences and how the research changed his mind. In 1975, Dr. Moody coined the term near-death experience in his book Life After Life. For half a century, he researched some of life’s greatest mysteries. As both a PhD in philosophy and an MD. Dr. Moody has a strong interest in how medical realities intersect with the ineffable realm of philosophy. In his multiple roles as author, professor, public speaker and grief counselor, he has heard thousands of accounts of near-death, shared-death and after-death experiences. please join us for what will be remembered as a spiritually moving weekend with Dr. Moody. |
