S5 Ep6: Life lessons from the dying with Josefine Speyer

Joining the final episode of the series is Josefine Speyer, a German psychotherapist based in London who has dedicated much of her life to changing the way we approach death and dying. Josefine co-founded the Natural Death Centre in 1991 with her late husband, Nicholas Albery. This educational charity has been a beacon of support, offering free and impartial advice on all aspects of dying, bereavement, and consumer rights, including assistance with burials and funerals.

Josefine shares her captivating journey, from her unconventional start in Frestonia to her profound spiritual experiences following her husband's tragic death. We delve into her artistic nature, her move to the UK, and her deep-seated belief in the power of natural burials and non-traditional funerals.

Josefine's insights are not only enlightening but also deeply moving, providing a rich tapestry of experiences and wisdom on the often-taboo subject of death. Join us as we explore her thoughts on making our final journeys meaningful and personal, and learn from her unique perspective on life, death, and everything in between.
