Barbara Bartolome
Founder and Group Leader of IANDS Santa Barbara, Barbara Bartolome will share the story about her 1987 near-death experience (NDE), when, at age 31, she flatlined during a medical procedure and watched her resuscitation from a ceiling vantage point while communicating to an incredible, loving entity whom she deeply felt was God/The Creator. When she returned to her body, she shocked the neurosurgeon, orthopedic surgeon and medical support team with the accurate details of what she had seen and heard them doing during her cardiac arrest and subsequent resuscitation.

Barbara founded the IANDS Santa Barbara group in August 2011 and, prior to the Covid pandemic, their in-person meetings and events routinely drew between 80-120 attendees each month. Barbara states that NDEs are opening up the world to the reality of non-local consciousness and she’s thrilled to be helping people learn that death is just a transition back “home” and that we all are here to be kind, love others, and to learn from and cherish all aspects of our life adventures while we’re here!
Barbara and her NDE have been featured on the NBC Today Show, and in the 2011 movie ‘Afterlife’, as well as in a film documentary by French Filmmaker Anthony Chene, which has currently garnered over 730,000 views. She is featured in Guideposts’ new book ‘A Choir of Angels’, along with Kim Clark Sharp and two other NDErs experiences, in the 5th volume of the Witnessing Heaven series. Her NDEs have been featured in a variety of print articles including in U.S. News and World Report and The Sun (U.K.), and on various podcasts, documentaries, TV, and radio shows.
Barbara previously held a Department of Defense SECRET Clearance, when she worked for Hughes Aircraft in the 1980s. Both she and her husband, Victor, are now retired from the University of California, Santa Barbara, where she was recognized as an Unsung Heroine, in 2000, for her volunteer work in the community. Barbara was named Santa Barbara’s Businesswoman of the Year in 2004, for creating, opening, and operating a wonderful paper arts store in downtown Santa Barbara. She lays claim to having the tallest family in Santa Barbara! Victor, her 7’0” tall husband, and Barbara enjoy their five “tall and terrific” grown kids, as well as sixteen “Adopted by Love” extra kids from all over the world, many of whom lived with the Bartolome family at various times. Barbara loves finding ways to “make a difference” in her community… and far beyond it!
