Pip Podcast

This is a beautiful episode that confronts the taboos around talking about death, the ritual of a burial, the regeneration process, and what the future holds for Fiona and Walawanni Way. 

I travelled to Bodalla on the NSW south coast to talk with Fiona, from Walawaani Way Conservation Burial. She offers people the option to be buried in a way that is giving back to the environment and allowing our bodies to go back to the earth. In this episode we unpack:

  • What natural burials are and how valuable we are to the earth.

  • What natural burials are not

  • How western culture is starting to talk more about death and options available. 

  • Countries have have already adopted natural burials 

  • Water cremation in Tasmania

  • The natural burial process

  • What you can do if a loved one passes away

  • The grieving process 

  • And more!
