End-of-Life Care

Are you curious about the benefits of a safe and sacred psychedelic journey during end-of-life?

At the Center for Medicinal Mindfulness we are reconnecting individuals and their loved ones to the natural and sacred process of dying through the support of Mindfulness-Based Psychedelic Guiding. Knowing that facing a life-threatening illness can cause anxiety, depression, fear and powerlessness, we meet our clients at the end of their life with compassionate engagement and open-hearted presence. From preparation for your psychedelic journey through integration in the days and weeks following the journey, we support you and your loved ones in moving through the existential distress of end-of-life. We believe that it is possible to die well, and are committed to returning death to its sacred place in life.

Our diverse team of practitioners holds space for your distinct mental, emotional, physical and spiritual journey. Whether a spiritual or religious tradition anchors you or you identify as an atheist or a lover of life and nature, we’re trained to meet you where you are and walk you across this threshold. If you find yourself longing for ritual or ceremony during end-of-life, our team is equipped to support you in remembering and reconnecting to the ancient and earth-based traditions of your ancestors.
