The Art of
Living and Dying

PODCAST

The Art of Living and Dying Podcast is an intimate, unflinching, and deeply human exploration of what it means to be alive in a world that is constantly changing, and constantly asking us to let go.

Hosted by Gabrielle Bonneville, death doula, movement artist, and psychedelic-assisted therapist, the show weaves together conversations on movement, consciousness, grief, ritual, healing, and mortality into a single coherent philosophy: to live fully, we must learn how to die well.

Each episode invites listeners into the thresholds we all cross — heartbreak, illness, rebirth, aging, identity shifts, loss, love, and the ultimate transition of death itself — guided by the understanding that every transformation contains both an ending and a beginning.

Meet Your Host

Gabrielle’s deep curiosity for understanding the Universe has fueled her to seek out masters, wisdom keepers and experts. 

Driven by a deep curiosity about the nature of reality and the fundamental essence of life, Gabrielle has travelled and studied with prominent teachers, shamans, and experts across spiritual, psychological, and somatic disciplines. Her focus is practical: How do we live well? How do we face death consciously? How do we reduce unnecessary suffering?

To her, how we live shapes how we die—and how we relate to death determines the depth, honesty, and vitality of our lives.

She is the founder of several mission-driven projects dedicated to evolving conversations around death, embodiment, and personal responsibility. Through her work, she challenges cultural avoidance, invites direct engagement with mortality, and encourages people to cultivate vitality while alive. 

Through the conversations she has on, she aims to create deep and meaningful dialogue that inspires others to remember their true nature, to love life, prepare for death, and actualize their gifts into the world

Discover why you’re here and how to live a more liberated life to its fullest by embracing death. 

Drawing from somatic practice, ceremonial traditions, plant medicine, psychology, and lived experience, the podcast explores how the body becomes the doorway to wisdom, how consciousness expands through surrender, and how facing impermanence with reverence awakens our deepest aliveness.

This is not a podcast about dying.
It is a podcast about learning how to live — because we will die.
