In this conversation, Reverend Bodhi Be discusses the evolution of his work in conscious dying and the establishment of the Ram Dass Institute of Psychedelic Studies. He emphasizes the importance of community care in the dying process, the role of death doulas, and the integration of psychedelics as a tool for end-of-life care. The discussion also touches on cultural appropriation in the use of sacred medicines and the need for a community-centered approach to dying. The upcoming event in Maui aims to bring together various practitioners to explore these themes further.

This video explores the intersection of end of life care and the use of psychedelics in managing anxiety and fear. It highlights the importance of health care and support during the death and dying process, emphasizing community care and how hospice care teams can provide comfort. We also touch on death education to assist people during end-of-life situations.

Our inaugural Ram Dass Institute of Psychedelic Studies with the Dying Retreat takes place January 3–8, 2026 on Maui.

Experience five days of sacred learning, community, and spiritual depth — rooted in Ram Dass’s teachings and guided by the spirit of aloha.
