Conversations on Death
This podcast explores death, dying, and the afterlife from multiple perspectives - physical, psychological, spiritual, ethical, historical, societal, and more. Join me on my mission to make death less taboo by bringing forward the many lessons death can teach the living, so that we can live more intentional and purposeful lives.

Filming the End-of-Life with Elyse Neiman Seiter
Elyse Neiman Seiter is an Emmy-Award winning TV producer/director with over 20 years experience producing shows for various networks including MTV, Food Network, HGTV, and Travel Channel. She became interested in death and dying after her own brush with cancer as a young mom, which woke her up to what was truly important in her own life. Elyse founded Mindful Films, a boutique production house dedicated to producing films/TV and digital content about stories of awakening, and is passionate about bringing this type of narrative medicine to the world. In 2023, Elyse completed a year-long course at the NY Zen Center on contemplative care and end-of-life, and is a regular hospice volunteer.
On today's episode, we talked about documenting the end-of-life process through film and about Riding Home, a documentary about Caryl, a dynamic Vermont horse trainer who confronts end-of-life with honesty, grace, and an irreverent sense of humor.
