Description
Today’s episode unpacks a topic that can be uncomfortable for some of us, but is something that we will all experience. Death. \Death is the natural end of life, one certainty that every human being will experience, yet something we are often deeply unfamiliar with and shy away from. My guest today is Zenith Virago, a professional Deathwalker of over 20 years. Zenith is a leader in the field and has pioneered the concept of empowered continual care at the end of life.So what is a Deathwalker? A Deathwalker is a person who walks their own journey towards their death as openly, courageously and as best they can. They also walk with, or accompany someone else in their death journey – whether it’s their own, or a loved ones.Zenith joins me today to talk about her own journey through life and places and spaces she navigates daily.You can find out more about Zenith here (https://www.zenithvirago.com/).
