  • Finding Joy with Guest: Dr. Scott M. Taylor Ed.D.
    Jan 7 2025

    Fr. Nathan discusses the work of Dr. Scott M. Taylor, who has dedicated over 30 years to the Near-Death Experience Field. In 1981, he had a firsthand encounter with a shared near-death experience. Since then, he has been committed to researching the experiences of others and raising awareness about this phenomenon.

    Scott wrote his doctoral dissertation on Near-Death Experiences: Discovering and Living in Unity.

    Dr. Taylor is a skilled trainer and Monroe Institute’s former president and executive director. He is an expert at using binaural beat technology (Hemi-Sync) to enter into and hold expanded states of awareness. Scott is the author and voice of six best-selling albums from Hemi-Sync, the "Into the Light" series. He also is the creator and facilitator of the 5 ½ day "NDE Intensive" which uses the pathways laid down by NDErs to explore states of consciousness.

    He has twice served on the board of the International Association for Near-Death Studies and co-moderated their annual conference at least a dozen times.

    Scott Taylor, Ed.D. is a retired small business mentor and educator. An accomplished business leader and former CEO, he is skilled in a broad range of leadership and business issues.

    He earned his MBA from Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management and his doctorate in Education from the University of St. Thomas. He also holds a degree in spiritual counseling from the New Seminary.

    When not immersed in NDEs, Scott is passionate about the sport of curling and all things Scottish. For his 60th birthday, he committed to wearing a kilt every day during this landmark year.

    He is married to the love of his life, Anne Hunter, and they make their home in the beautiful Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia.
