S4E23 - The Last Door: Dying with Grace on Death Row – A Conversation with Murali Pacini

What does it mean to prepare for death with dignity — even from behind bars?

In this deeply moving episode, Claire O’Berry speaks with Murali Pacini, former director of the Prison Project, about two remarkable men — James and Miguel — who spent their final years on Texas Death Row immersed in spiritual practice.

Through meditation, community with like minded inmates, and unwavering commitment to transformation, these men faced their final moments not with fear, but with peace.

You'll hear:

• How the Prison Project brought meditation to thousands of inmates worldwide
  
  

• The final letters exchanged between each man and their spiritual teacher
  
  

• Miguel’s last words, witnessed by those who sat with him
  
  

• James’ poetic statement of oneness moments before execution
  
  

• Reflections on what we can do to live more consciously and die more gracefully
  
  

This episode is not about capital punishment — it’s about what’s possible when a soul prepares and turns inward. Any soul!
