I am so delighted that my guest this month is Liz Rothschild, performer, celebrant and founder of the award winning Westmill Burial Ground, located on the Oxford/Wiltshire border. Liz is also the mastermind of the wonderful Kicking the Bucket Festival, which is taking place in Oxford over the weekend - the 1st weekend of November 23. This of course, synchronises with the famous Mexican Day of the Dead celebrations.
Liz believes - and I agree with her - that living and dying cannot be separated and part of our problems with death is that we are trying to do just that. Her festival, now in its 4th year, proves how people are so grateful for the opportunity to talk openly about death and dying in the company of others also wanting to do the same.
Liz is the author of Outside the Box, which explores people's experiences of death and dying, and her new book Weathering The Storm: Stories Of Love, Life, Loss And Discovery In The Time Of Covid is now available through PCCS:

Thanks for listening and see you next time.
