Events over the past year have brought death to our doorstep. Our work here at the When You Die Project has become even more important. Whether we wanted to consider the possibility of our own death or not, the pandemic, the rise of mass shootings, and the over-all global chaos of war, displacement, and suffering have brought home our mortality. I know this all sounds like a giant bummer, but spoiler alert, we will all die. And because of that, we also must live! For that reason, let’s engage the wonderful human trait of curiosity.
So what happens when we die? Does consciousness continue, or is it lights out? That’s the question we explore in our most recent documentary, In the Realm of Death & Dreaming, which is now available to stream on our website here. Click here to check it out >>
We are also delighted to announce it is available to stream
on CGOOD-TV here >>
Please help us get the word out! We are partnering with a number of groups and organizations to screen In the Realm of Death & Dreaming, including University of Arizona Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine, The New York Open Centre, University of Vermont College of Medicine Doula Certificate Program, and spiritual groups like the Canadian Association for Spiritual Care, and The Sufi Way. If you are part of a group or organization that might be interested in partnering with us to show our documentary, please contact chelsea@whenyoudie.org
Please share! We need all the help we can get, so please do share this link to In the Realm of Death & Dreaming on your social platforms or more personally to all your friends. We are very grateful for any help you can provide. https://whenyoudie.org/death-film/

Research on the subject shows that more than 80% of us will have this experience. In addition to hearing what our experts have to say in our film, you can also read some findings in articles like this one, offered on our resources page
