This workshop reviews contemporary theory, research, and applications of afterlife science. New research from the Human Energy Systems Laboratory explores (1) the reality of afterlife phenomena, (2) mechanisms of mediumship, (3) the scoring of mediumship data, and (4) changes in grief patterns following afterlife experiences. Participants will be invited to share their afterlife experiences (e.g. after death communications and signs), their beliefs about the afterlife, and the implications of afterlife science for psychology, medicine, and society.
