Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 571 Treulogy: A Tool for Writing Our Stories While Grieving with Sasha Stricker
Q: Could you even collect stories from other people in the family for the eulogy?
Yes. Stricker says more contributors can add a wider range of stories and give each person a way to share their memories and honor the deceased. A family member or doula could collect and enter those stories.
Ep. 571 Treulogy: A Tool for Writing Our Stories While Grieving with Sasha Stricker
Q: What inspired you to want to create a tool that people could use for writing eulogies?
After her father-in-law died, Stricker saw how much families had to manage in a short time. Later, using AI, she realized it could help people turn their own memories into words without inventing the stories.
Ep. 569 Living and Dying Without Fear with RamDev Dale Borglum
Q: What would you say to someone looking to start a contemplative path in light of death awareness?
Start by choosing a community and a path that resonates personally, whether devotional, contemplative, or service-oriented, and build inner resources through groups, teachers, and practices that keep you grounded as life's challenges intensify.
Ep. 569 Living and Dying Without Fear with RamDev Dale Borglum
Q: What is the five-stage healing map and the three channels you mention, and how do they apply to end-of-life care?
The map outlines motivation, invocation, grounding, heart-opening, and tantra leading toward nonduality, with channels of body, mind, and spirit providing different pathways to progress. It's designed to be flexible and applicable to caregivers, patients, and spiritual practitioners alike.
Ep. 569 Living and Dying Without Fear with RamDev Dale Borglum
Q: Could you give us a synopsis of how you ended up working with conscious dying?
Dale explains his journey from mathematics and academia to a lifetime of spiritual study, meeting Ram Dass and others, and ultimately directing the Dying Center in Santa Fe as part of the Living Dying Project's lineage. The arc shows how intellectual training complemented contemplative practice, leading to a practical, inclusive path that transcends specific religious backgrounds.
