Walking Each Other Home:
A Fund to Promote Psychedelic Compassion for End–of–Life Care
Over the past six months, our team has had the privilege of speaking with more than 20 dedicated leaders in end-of-life care and consciousness. These compassionate individuals include palliative care physicians, nurses, death doulas, clergy members, academics, researchers, cancer survivors, storytellers, advocates for the right to try, nonprofit leaders, those with near-death experiences, donors, spiritual guides, and advocates for psychedelic safety.
Through these meaningful conversations, we have come to understand the profound needs and opportunities that exist in this field.
As a result, we developed a comprehensive request for proposals (RFP) that aims to address the critical insights shared by these remarkable frontline leaders, ultimately enhancing the care and support available to individuals during this pivotal stage of life.
In homage to Ram Dass, we named this $500,000 funding round Walking Each Other Home: A Fund to Promote Psychedelic Compassion for End-of-Life Care. Join us as we seek to ignite the next era of bold, compassionate solutions, reshaping how we honor and care for those at life’s threshold.

Our Broader Vision for
End–of–Life Psychedelic Care
For decades, the exploration of psychedelic-assisted therapy in end-of-life care has illuminated some of the most profound aspects of our shared human experience.
These therapies have emerged as a source of hope, offering comfort to those facing cancer-related anxiety and easing the heavy burden of existential distress. They have the potential to help individuals find deeper meaning and serenity in their final days.
Through our initiative, Walking Each Other Home, HHCM is dedicated to fostering a compassionate approach to end-of-life care. We strive to create a space where we can honor and support those at life’s threshold, helping them navigate this deeply personal journey with dignity and grace.
