We'd love to hear from you. Send us a text :-)

In this episode, I speak with a pioneer in the death care industry, Zenith Virago. Zenith is the founder and executive officer of the Natural Death Care Centre Charity Australia. She is a death walker, a celebrant, and an educator.

Zenith has been empowering people to have healthier, healing bereavement with few or no regrets for over 30 years. Our conversation was enlightening and funny, ranging from the significance of graveyards in England, ceremonies for the LGBTQ community, how to support children through grief.

And we even managed to talk about vaginas!

I'm sure you'll enjoy hearing from Zenith as much as I did.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Zenith's journey into becoming a 'Death Walker'
  • The importance of community in death care
  • The enlightening experience of founding the Natural Death Care Center charity
  • The impact of generosity in the world of death care
  • Zenith's exploration of death care in the UK
  • The role of ceremony in complex death situations

Stay tuned for this enlightening episode and remember, let's break the taboo around talking about death.
Remember; You may not be ready to die, but at least you can be prepared.

Take care,

Catherine
