Neurosurgeon Eben Alexander, MD has become world-famous for his best-selling book, Proof of Heaven, which chronicles his journey from skeptic to spiritualist as the result of his own near-death experience. In the words of afterlife researcher Bill Guggenheim, “If Central Casting was given an assignment to locate the most highly qualified person to have a near-death experience and teach about it, no one could find a more perfect candidate than neurosurgeon Eben Alexander."
Julia Assante, PhD is an author, and social historian of the ancient Near East (PhD Columbia University). Yet for over three decades she has also been an active professional intuitive. In her book, The Last Frontier: Exploring the Afterlife and Transforming Our Fear of Death, she applies the insights and methodologies gained from both fields in order to present a uniquely rigorous investigation of where we go after we die.
Steffany Barton, RN is a professional, psychic medium who communicates with the Angelic realm and connects with those who have crossed into Spirit. She will be presenting a powerful talk on "The Other Side of Suicide" that will be extraordinarily healing for those struggling with grief, sadness or guilt related to the suicide of a loved one.
Rev. Olivia Bareham, founder of Sacred Crossings –
The Institute for Conscious Dying and Family-directed Funerals is a certified death midwife and home funeral guide. Her presentation will outline the legal, practical and spiritual aspects of allowing loved ones to die -- and to be ritually honored for three days after death --at home.
Stafford Betty, PhD is an expert on afterlife studies and professor of religion at California State University, Bakersfield. He has authored seven books, including The Afterlife Unveiled, and published many articles on life after death and paranormal phenomena. His presentation will grow out of the research he's done for his next book, The Religion of Heaven.
The channeled messages shared by Roland Comtois with audience members last year were so well-received that attendees begged us to bring him back for 2014... and we did! He is an acclaimed channel who began his career in healing as a gerontology nurse, where he assisted departing souls with their transition to the other side. Today, Roland’s personal appearances and “Channeled Messages for the Soul” presentations take him throughout the United States and Europe. 
Rev. Terri Daniel, a certified transition guide, author, channeler and interfaith hospice chaplain, offers a unique perspective on birth, death and beyond helps the dying and the bereaved to find meaning and healing through meditative and ritual practices that open a conduit to the Other Side. Terri is the founder of the Afterlife Conference.

She is a graduate of Core Shamanism and the Master’s Program of the Healing the Light Body School of The Four Winds Society.

This will be Dr. Raymond Moody's third year with us, and we are delighted and grateful for the opportunity to bring him to the west coast. For those who don't know, In 1975, Dr. Raymond Moody's best-selling book Life After Life focused public attention on the near-death experience like never before, and it was Moody who actually coined the term "near-death experience."
Suzane Northrop’s mind-boggling audience readings have earned her the title of our official "house medium" for our last three conferences. Suzane was one of the mediums who participated in The Afterlife Experiments conducted by Dr. Gary Schwartz, and she continues to reach grateful audiences via her radio show on Blog Talk Radio. Noted TV medium John Edward says this about Suzane: "To say that she is a gifted medium undervalues who she is. She touches and unites souls between the physical and the non-physical with clarity, compassion, humor and tenacity."
Piero Parisetti, MDis a Scottish/Italian medical doctor and university lecturer known for popularizing the science of afterlife studies for the benefit of the bereaved and the dying. He is also a trained psychotherapist and grief counselor, and his presentation will address the question, "Are the Bereaved Ready for This?" His 2008 book "21 Days into the Afterlife" was hailed by critics as one of the best introductions to the subject of survival, and his cognitive-behavioral approach to grief counseling is considered one of the most innovative and promising to appear in decades.

Organizer
The Afterlife Education Foundation
The Afterlife Education Foundation (AEF) was founded in 2010 when a group of renowned spiritual teachers, afterlife researchers, psychics and grief counselors recognized the need for a national conference on the afterlife. Many of us felt that our perspective on the continuation of consciousness after death wasn't adequately represented in traditional forums such as scientific or bereavement conferences, so motivated by a need to share our work, we produced the first conference in 2011 and have been going strong ever since. Our advisory board includes leaders in scientific research, grief counseling, death education, spirituality and mediumship, and the teachers who present at our annual conference are recognized worldwide.
AEF was founded by Rev. Terri Daniel, an intefaith hospice chaplain, author and intuitive counselor specializing in death education and afterlife awareness.
