What It Means To Be Alive
Imagine being able to experience the world through a different lens. One where you are not just observing life but taking part in it and experiencing its magic. What It Means To Be Alive explores curious and taboo topics integral to understanding what humans do, why we do it, and what it means for us as a human race. Together we'll explore topics ranging from psychology, new-age spiritualism, religion, decolonization, alternative realities, privilege, aliens, sex, psychedelics and plain everyday (somethings boring) life.

Episode 39
Nicholas Goodman talks about his experience working in a hospice and how he has learnt to sit with death and dying. Death and dying are subjects that are very taboo in the western world, keeping death and the process hidden from view, as per the norms in western medicine as well. Comparing this with Eastern beliefs, that grieve and mourn widely in public, we can see why so many of us in North America are afraid to die. In this conversation, we talk about processing the death and dying of our family and loved ones, and the impact that this grieving process has on us.
