About us
Welcome to the fascinating world of parapsychology - for those who are interested in exploring new territory where science can lead us through evidence-based research and investigation, what it can tell us about ourselves, our world, and the great beyond.
This is a discussion group for enthusiasts and the curious – a developing community open to questioning commonly-held science dogmas and exploring new paradigms. It's a space for thought-provoking presentations, to connect and share our insights and inspirations, questions and quandaries in relation to what we’ve been learning from some of the world’s top academics and scientists who are forging new ground through parapsychology.
To be clear, discussions will include areas such as near-death experiences, consciousness and the brain, past life memories, hypnosis, telepathy, clairvoyance, mediumship, precognition, channelling, apparitional experiences, remote viewing, psychokinesis, ESP, etc.
Wherever possible, we emphasise tying information and experiences back to evidence-based research and studies. This group is for genuine enthusiasts and hard-headed thinkers.
Note: We also have a Facebook group "Parapsychology Meetup Australia" where you can connect and chat with other members of the community, share your experiences, or raise questions about parapsychology. We try to ensure all questions will be responded to with evidence-based research.

Dying Consciously: How to Plan and Have Your Preferred Death
Melbourne Theosophical Society, 234 Flinders Ln, Melbourne, VI, AUDying Consciously - it's not something most of us think about very much. But some ancient teachings tell us that our state of consciousness at the time of death will determine the conditions of our next destination. And this idea is indeed supported by some parapsychological evidence.
In this unique interactive session, Candace Ohanessian will walk us through the many considerations and questions one needs to align this most important life-event with our innermost values and wishes.
Candace will introduce us to the key foundational concepts, parapsychological aspects of dying, and then the practical foundations of a preferred (conscious) death. She'll then cover in depth what conscious dying is all about, how to be in a supporting role with others who may be dying, and then finishing with some closing reflections and discussion.
Certainly a thought-provoking and eye-opening discussion, and one you rarely get the opportunity to explore in a safe space with an experienced expert in the field. When we face up to our greatest fears, we become empowered.
