Mostly Death Stuff

Mostly Death Stuff is centered around the belief that the more comfortable we can get talking about death, the better life we can create for ourselves. By digging into death, we have the ability to shift our view on what it really means to be alive. During our time together, we’re going to loosen the death grip we all have around the topic of death. We’ll chat with experts and hear perspectives that challenge us, and maybe even shift our view of the world. Can talking about death give us life? Let's find out together.

We also dig into the use of psychedelics to help people with their fear of dying. This is a very cool topic that we just scratched the surface on.
