Death is inevitable, but how we approach it makes all the difference. Most people fear the dying process—not only because of physical pain, but because of the deep existential distress that comes with losing control, identity, and meaning.

You’ll discover how nearing-death awareness offers a profound transpersonal experience—one that opens the door to transformation rather than fear. Whether you’re facing your own mortality, supporting a loved one, working in end-of-life care, or simply curious about your final trip, this talk will change the way you see death and help you prepare for it with wisdom, resilience, and even awe.
