The Afterlife Research and Education Institute, Inc. (AREI) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to supporting research and education activities that enable people to have afterlife connections. These experiences change people. Eventually, the spiritual evolution from widespread afterlife connections will engender a humankind that lives in love and peace. AREI needs support to carry on its work in this endeavor.

The Center for Spiritual Understanding, Inc.

AREI incorporated the 501(c)(3) nonprofit Center for Spiritual Understanding as a prototype for centers that will provide meeting places for people to have uplifting teaching events, discussion groups, and support groups. The centers will have resources for afterlife communication, including mediums and Guided Afterlife Connections Grief Counselors.

These meeting places will teach new perspectives on the end-of-this-life transition and give people going through the transition and their families the uplifting understanding that the transition is a normal part of life, that they will have joyful reunions with loved ones already in the afterlife, and that the separation from loved ones on the earth plane is temporary.

The first Center for Spiritual Understanding is planned for Bloomington, Illinois. Studies after three years will confirm that the community requires less of the expensive end-of-life hospital services and hospice care and reports having more peace and happiness as a result of the presence of the center.

Symposiums and Conferences

AREI has organized four annual conferences and symposia bringing enlightening experts in afterlife studies and afterlife communication together to network and educate the general public. The meetings teach people about the transition to the next life, life in the next life, and communicating with loved ones who have gone ahead. AREI teaches up to 550 people at each gathering and makes the recorded sessions available.

Online Education Groups

AREI has a rapidly gowing calendar of online meetings using the Zoom service.
