The Art of Living and Dying
Season 2
Episode 207
Our most basic understanding of life is in many ways determined by our understanding of death. While to some, death is an end in itself, to others it is the final test of faith in the existence of a God or an afterlife. Two dedicated spiritual leaders in the end-of-life movement, explore how a less fearful and more conscious relationship to death can radically shift our experience of life.
