Ep66 The power of presence - a podcast by Jacqui Brauman and Ush Dhanak

In this episode, Jacqui explores a very different level of emotional intelligence with Zenith Virago. Zenith is the EO and founding member of the NSW Charity, the Natural Death Care Centre. Co-author of the book The Intimacy of Death and Dying, and subject of the international independent documentary, Zen & the Art of Dying, and patron of the Good funeral guide, UK.

Zenith is at the forefront and a leading pioneer of dying well, family led body care, meaningful and appropriate ceremony, and informing and educating communities to reclaim and be empowered before, during and after death.

Often seen as a maverick she offers a hybrid of truly traditional ways blended with a more contemporary understanding, encouraging people to take their dying, death, after death care and ceremony back into their own hands and hearts, even in cases of sudden death and trauma.

With a legal and community background, she is a seen as a community resource, assisting people to know and reclaim their legal rights, and co-create their own social rites of passage. She has been working towards more holistic cultural change in approaches to better and continual end of life and after death care for well over 25 years.

Known as a Deathwalker, an educator and a celebrant, she shares the subtle and obvious layers involved, offering guidance, support and care to inform, enable and empower people to be as informed, open and courageous as they can, and to experience their dying and their loss in the best way they can. Simply, she accompanies and guides people in their losses.
