"On April 15, 2012, I was flying home from a conference. And on the first leg of my trip, somewhere between Tucson and Las Vegas, I died." Join Katherine as she explores the wild and magical terrain of death, psychedelics and healing, from the clinic at Johns Hopkins to her sister's hospital room and beyond.

Psychedelics have officially re-entered mainstream consciousness, through clinical research trials at major universities, corporate-sponsored pharmaceutical drug development, and decriminalization efforts in major America cities. Everyone from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to Michael Pollan now has a story to tell about how mushrooms can save humanity. But let's not forget the original love stories that the mushrooms have been quietly sharing with humans for millennia. In this talk, Dr. Katherine MacLean weaves a tale of scientific discovery, mystical love, super-natural intelligence, and personal redemption from the perspective of individual humans and their amazing encounters with psilocybin mushrooms.

You only have a few days left to live. How would you want to live? How would you want to die?
