Stephen was recently interviewed by Nate Hagens, the host of The Great Simplification podcast and the co-founder and director of The Institute for Study of Energy and Our Future. Here’s what he wrote about the interview:
In Western culture, topics surrounding death and dying are often considered taboo and are generally avoided in everyday conversations. But this reluctance to fully acknowledge and integrate death as a natural part of the human experience has rendered us less able to cope with the end of life and less prepared to show up for ourselves and the people around us as we inevitably navigate loss. But what if a more skillful engagement with death and grief could actually offer us a more mindful approach to living?
