Come for a walk around a natural woodland burial site: The Eternal Forest in North Wales

#078.  Ever heard of a natural woodland burial? Or considered what it is and how it works? Either way, you're going to find this episode fascinating.This is The Silent Why, a podcast on a mission to open up conversations around loss and grief and see if hope can be found in 101 different types of loss.On our recent trip to North Wales we didn't just do some work experience with some funeral directors, we also visited The Eternal Forest - a natural woodland burial site in Boduan, Pwllheli (and yes, I also had no idea how to pronounce a word that starts with 'pwl'!).There we met the manager, Julia Everitt, and recorded a conversation with her as we walked around the most beautiful woodland - which we're now sharing with you.The Eternal Forest such a peaceful place to visit, that if we lived nearby we'd have been tempted to book a burial plot straight away!Have a listen and see how your views towards these kinds of burials might be challenged or changed.You can also follow along with the transcript in a blog post on our website, where we've included images and video of our time there to help you visualise it: https://www.thesilentwhy.com/post/theeternalforest For more about The Eternal Forest visit: https://www.eternalforest.org/And to listen to our previous episode about our time in Wales - 'Wales, work experience, bitey flies, chips and Dave' visit: https://www.thesilentwhy.com/podcast/episode/78783914/wales-work-experience-bitey-flies-chips-and-dave Send us Fan MailSupport the show-----thesilentwhy.com  |  Instagram  |  Facebook  |  Twitter  |  LinkedIn What's a Herman? / Buy a Herman - thehermancompany.comSupport the show: buymeacoffee.com/thesilentwhySign-up to my mailing list (only used for sharing news occasionally!): thesilentwhy.com/newsletterHow to talk to the grieving:  thesilentwhy.com/post/howtotalktothegrievingReview the show: Apple Podcasts  |  Spotify  |  GoodpodsEpisode transcripts: thesilentwhy.buzzsprout.comThank you for listening.
