Death anxiety. What triggered your interest in that?
Have you come across Roland Griffiths’ work on end-of-life anxiety and psychedelic therapy? After decades spent easing the anxiety of cancer patients through spiritual experience, Roland passed away himself from cancer back in October. It lends his work extra poignancy. He was such a lovely guy.
