An NDE Life Preview, the Emerald City, and a Shoe on a Ledge
During a rare NDE life preview in 1970, Kimberly was shown three images of her future if she chose to live instead of entering a portal to Heaven that shone before her — a place where “mountains met water,” certainly not in the Midwest USA where her lifeless body lay; a gallery of people with whom she would significantly interact, all strangers at that time; and a life of service. The life of service is what she chose, so she left Kansas with her hamster Toto, traversing the country before landing permanently in Seattle, known then as now as The Emerald City. All of the people whose images she was shown became — and remain in her life — but it was not until she found a tennis shoe on the ledge of hospital where, in another part of the large building, an ICU patient had identified it during a resuscitation. All the pieces came together and Kimberly’s life of service to the field of death and dying and Near-Death Experiences began.

Episode 1 on Near-Death Experiences features Seattle IANDS. We feel that our group was well-presented in that episode and encourage people to watch it for an introduction to our organization. We have also had inquiries about the phenomena covered in the other episodes of the series. Seattle IANDS is not affiliated with any of the people featured in those episodes and had no input regarding the content of the other episodes
Normally Our meetings are held at Wallingford Community Senior Center (WCSC) in the Good Shepherd Center. Because of COVID-19 precautions and building closure, Seattle IANDS will not meet in person until further notice.
