Approaching Death - Nikki Wyrd & Tree Carr

The experience of impending death involves profound shifts in consciousness that parallel the states induced by psychedelic experiences. Such moments of life review are characterized by the loss of past and future fixation as the focus narrows entirely to the present moment. Navigating these transitions can be supported through specific practices, including meditative breath awareness and deliberate, grounded attention. These methods help maintain a sense of presence and equanimity even when facing a terminal diagnosis. Drawing from decades of occult and scientific knowledge, the presenters share personal reflections on using these techniques to navigate the reality of mortality.
