Description: 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.

OLLI AT UVA IS INTRODUCING SHARED INTEREST GROUPS (SIGs) An OLLI Shared Interest Group is formed by a nucleus of OLLI members with a shared interest in the same subject, and who are willing to participate as active, rather than as passive, learners. SIGs provide ongoing learning, friendship and support around the shared interest. Each group is different depending on its focus, and all provide interesting lifelong learning opportunities as well as a fun social experience that is ongoing through semesters and class cycles.
If you would like to start a SIG, call 434-923-3600.
Proposals for SIGs are taken at any time.
As SIGs are created, OLLI members will be notified through the weekly Eblast and invited to join. When at least six
members have expressed interest, the first meeting can be scheduled.
To join an established SIG, members ask to have their names placed on the email distribution list for the SIG, and
start participating. It’s that simple.
