Description

Dr Judith Wester is a thanatologist: an academic who specialises in the study of death, dying and the cultural rituals of many nations.  Her life is given to teaching others of all ages and in all walks of life how to broach this subject with themselves and so with other people.  In this deep dive into death, Judith explains the difference between death, dying and dead, between grief, mourning and bereavement - and looks into the ways we could explore beyond the inevitable mortality of each of us, to the mortality of our culture - and how something new might be reborn from the ashes in this time of Corona Lockdown.

At this time of the Great Transition, we need new, fresh ideas, role models and narratives that show us how we can step forward into a future we'd be proud to leave to the generations that come after us. What does it take for our kids to look back and say, 'It was hard, but they did it'? What changes are we already making that take us in the right direction? We talk to the people leading the way, offering interviews, conversations and radical new ideas from people who are living the change we need to see in the world. We have the choice now, to transform - or to face the chaos of a failing system. Our Choice. Our Chance. Our Future. Join the evolution at: https://accidentalgods.life
