ABOUT WILLIAM
William Peters, a licensed psychotherapist, is the founder of the Shared Crossing Project. William has developed a series of leading-edge programs that introduce audiences to a broad assortment of experientially based curricula and practices.

As the Director of the Shared Crossing Research Initiative (SCRI), William and his research team collect and study extraordinary end-of-life experiences (shared crossings). He is recognized by many as the world’s leading authority on the shared death experience (SDE) having developed research-based typologies that classify the full range of SDEs. He also created the Spectrum of End-of-Life Experiences, a user-friendly guide to assist the dying, caregivers and health care professionals in navigating and understanding phenomena that can manifest at end of life.

ABOUT MICHAEL
Michael Kinsella is an anthropologist, folklorist, and scholar of religion specializing in exceptional experiences and contemporary spirituality. His research interests include the therapeutic potential of shared crossings. Dr. Kinsella is faculty for Central Michigan University where he teaches courses on death and dying; he also works as a hospice volunteer at Serenity House. Dr. Kinsella has given talks at conferences held by the American Anthropological Association, the American Folklore Society, the American Academy of Religion, the Society for the Scientific Study of Religion, and the International Association for Near-Death Studies, among others.

Dr. Kinsella previously served as the lead researcher for one of ten Science of Immortality Projects funded by the Immortality Project of the University of California at Riverside. Additionally, he is a co-author of the “Inventory of Nonordinary Experiences,” which was designed to help researchers study experiences and their appraisals across populations and cultures.

What is an NDE?
A near-death experience (NDE) is typically a profound, life changing, intensely emotional experience that usually occurs during a clinical crisis and has common characteristics and aftereffects. It is not a dream, hallucination, or mental illness (Greyson, 1983). There are no predictive variables to identify who will have an NDE. They happen to people of all ages, religions, socio-economic groups, cultures, educational backgrounds, and belief systems. They occur under a variety of circumstances such as accidents, near-drownings, illnesses, combat, surgical procedures, and childbirth. Following an NDE, experiencers (NDErs) often display some common aftereffects. Research has established a set of common NDE characteristics and long-term aftereffects. Theories used to explain near-death experiences in purely physical terms have been proven inadequate by NDE researchers and others.
