Description:

  In the intro:

How some people become exalted beings in their time of dying

 

  In the interview:

Dying out loud + creating a living funeral

Approaching death with wonder, & finding love in the face of terror

Mushrooms & microbes as honored elders / Cari’s experience microdosing on psilocybin during the dying process  / Mushrooms teach us to lead with soul consciousness, show us how to die, and greatly reduce fear in terminal patients

Bringing together the love and life and grief and pain and agony of death is where the healing happens

Grief and love are not different emotions- the depth of love equals the depth of grief

Home funerals: ecstasy, healing, and community / Alternative options for body disposal- deep sea burial, alkaline hydrolosis (or water cremation), green burial / Casket art

“I want to go into my death with my arms open”

What it is like to watch your beloved life partner die, “I have no intention of getting over my grief.”

How our culture gets grief wrong

I ask Cari if she's afraid

In death, you recognize the true source of self

 

  In the Outro:

Cari's passing

We die how we lived
