Psychedelics & Death
By Psychedelic Seminars
How are we facing death and illness in the age of COVID? What’s the current state of death in the culture at large?
How will an individual experience of facing death be shifted when psychedelic therapy becomes widely available?
How would a society that embraces psychedelic experiences approach death and dying?
Many institutions seem to be coming to an end. Can we embrace and benefit from this time of dissolution and transition?
Featuring (bios below):
Maria Mangini, PhD, FNP
Tony Back, MD
Ladybird Morgan, RN, MSW
In conversation with Liana Gillooly
