Join me, Brother Seth, and my guests the Reverent Mother Annalouiza Armendarizand Rev Wakil Matthews as we discuss the vital but often avoided topic of death and end-of-life planning. Together, we explore the importance of talking about death, practical aspects like advance directives, and the healing power of ritual, nature, and poetry.
