Psilocybin mushrooms are profoundly wise beings who have much to teach humanity as they offer their assistance with our healing. The ceremonial use of entheogenic plant medicines has deep and sacred origins in Indigenous cultures worldwide, and are becoming widely recognized by conventional medicine for their healing potential. 

Dr. Quinn will also discuss traditional and contemporary usage of psilocybin, including clinical research and therapeutic services being offered to people with terminal illness and experiencing grief.

This video is a recording of a free online panel that took place Wednesday, May 10th, 2023 highlighting the stories of five Hawaiʻi residents - Clark, Momi, Louise, David, and Lesa - sharing their experiences of a family member navigating the Medical Aid in Dying program. Each panel participant pre-recorded their story to share, and were present to answer questions from the hosts and the audience. 

The panel was facilitated by Joy Rodriguez (honoluludeathdoula.com) and Leilani Maxera (kaipuokaualoku.com). These two death workers met the panelists through a support group that they co-facilitate for loved ones of people who navigated the MAiD process in Hawaiʻi.

Rebecca Grossman shares her insite into organ donation, and discusses some of the nuances of choice around donating to medical facilities alongside factual information and research on cornea donation.

Would you like to learn more about body donation for scientific research? What about brain donation? Did you know that we don’t have medicine for a lot of neurodegenerative diseases because scientists don’t have functional (not dead) brain tissue? Ieva Veya, Executive Director from Cure After (http://cureafter.com) will walk us through the existing body and brain donation programs and how such programs, including Cure After brain tissue donation, make meaningful legacy projects that have an impact on science and drug discovery.
