Join the Association
Membership
Membership is open to any entity that has resolved its unfinished business and is navigating — or has navigated — the transition to non-haunting existence. We do not require documentation of the resolution. We extend professional trust to our members. We have not had reason to regret this.
Membership Tiers
Full Membership
For former ghosts. Includes access to all peer support groups, the resource library, the annual conference (at member rates), the quarterly newsletter The Other Side, and the annual member directory.
First year complimentary. Subsequent years on sliding scale.
Ally Membership
For the living. We welcome mediums, paranormal researchers, transition counselors, grief workers, and anyone who supports our mission. Ally members receive the newsletter and may attend the conference but may not facilitate peer support groups.
Annual contribution on sliding scale.
Institutional Membership
For organizations that serve the formerly haunting. Includes listing in our referral directory and access to our training materials for transition counselors.
Assessed annually based on organizational scope.
What Full Membership Includes
Full Resource Library Access
All guides, frameworks, and case studies. New resources added quarterly.
Peer Support Group Matching
Matched to an appropriate group based on your post-resolution profile.
Annual Conference Access
Priority registration for the annual gathering and all regional events.
Member Directory
Access to the directory, with opt-in contact preferences. Connection is the point.
The Other Side (Quarterly Newsletter)
Written for and by members. Not available to non-members.
Certificate of Membership
Issued upon confirmation. Renewed annually. Suitable for framing. Several members have framed it. We find this appropriate.
Dues
The first year of membership is complimentary. We believe that a former ghost navigating the early post-resolution period should not face a financial barrier to community.
Subsequent years are supported by an annual contribution on a sliding scale. We do not enforce a minimum. We trust our members to contribute what they can. We understand that many of our members do not have access to currency. Alternative arrangements are available. No entity has ever been turned away for inability to pay.
Apply for Membership
The application is brief. We ask about your resolution: when it occurred, what the nature of your unfinished business was (broadly), and what you are hoping for from membership. We review applications within two weeks. We have not declined an application.
