In this deeply moving and eye-opening talk, Matt Zemon explores how psychedelic medicines are transforming not only how we heal, but how we live and die. Drawing from groundbreaking clinical research, personal stories, and his acclaimed TEDx talk, Matt guides audiences through the emotional, spiritual, and relational potential of psychedelic experiences, especially at the end of life. Whether confronting terminal illness, navigating grief, or seeking meaning in the face of mortality, this presentation offers a hopeful new paradigm: one where introspection, connection, and awe become accessible even in our final chapters. With warmth, clarity, and reverence, Matt illuminates how psychedelics can help us live more fully, and die more peacefully.
