Book: Susan has written three novels:The Witness, The Traveler, The Message NEW!
- Day of the week: F
- Date: 9/20/2024
- Time: 2:00 PM
- Member Benefit
- Location: OLLI at UVA Campus,Terrace Level
- Address: 1 Morton Drive, Terrace Level Charlottesville, VA 22903
Information: Susan Burke has authored three novels which explore the concept that the mind can separate from the body. In her talk, Susan will tell us about how she became interested in reincarnation, out-of-body and near-death experiences, and in after-death communications, and she will familiarize us with the work being done in this area by The Division of Perceptual Studies at UVA.
Susan will also describe how she merged real research into these subjects into fictional stories. In The Witness, a jury is asked to believe that a three-year old child is the reincarnation of a woman murdered two years ago. In The Traveler, a psychiatrist, held for a ten-million-dollar ransom in Bitcoin, can identify the kidnappers because he says he saw them without their masks….but that was when he was clinically dead.
In The Message, a photographer loses her sight after a terrible car accident, in which she was the sole survivor. When her other senses start to perceive strange things, she worries that she is being haunted by a spirit.
Susan Burke just published her third book in 4 years, at the age of 80, proving that it’s never too late to start something new. Living in New York City for decades, Susan had a career in advertising and marketing, and performed in Off-Off-Off Broadway plays at night.
*Books can be purchased on Amazon if you wish to read prior to the event. Books will also be available at the event.

- Discussion Group Description:
College football has forever changed. Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL), the transfer portal, legislation and court rulings that finally give players a piece of the financial pie are driving the transformation. Then there’s conference realignment – Texas and Oklahoma are now part of the SEC, Southern Cal, UCLA, Washington, and Oregon now call the Big 10 home, and the additions of California, Stanford and SMU have made the ACC a transcontinental conference. Throw in the new 12-team playoff format and there’s so much to talk about. And that’s just what we’ll do in this fun OLLI at UVA Discussion Group. We’ll discuss which teams can successfully navigate the changing landscape. Ohio State looks loaded, but can they get past Michigan, and road games at Oregon and Penn State? Florida State looks like the ACC favorite, with Clemson on their heels. Can UVA improve while facing a rugged schedule where road games at Clemson, Notre Dame, and Virginia Tech loom large? With the GOAT retired, who will rule the SEC? Georgia, Texas, Tennessee, or maybe still Alabama? So many changes, so much to talk about. Join us, have some fun, and get ready for the 2024 season at 10:30 a.m. on four Fridays in August –August 9, 16, 23, and 30.
