Show Notes
We spend a great deal of time learning how to live, but very little learning about dying, death and what may come afterwards.
Today I’m talking with Sandra Bamford, a holistic funeral director who has spent many years bringing death back into life. In 2016 she founded Mary Eleanor Natural Funeral Care in Tasmania, pioneering a more personal approach to death care based on love, service and sustainability.
Sandra is also a student of Anthroposophy, inspired by the teachings of Rudolf Steiner, and has developed Living Connections: Conscious Dying, Death Care & Spiritual Continuing.

Stitching Stories 27 Today I’m talking to someone whose work has travelled far beyond the sewing room. Jenny Bowker is an internationally recognised Australian quilter, teacher and artist whose quilts have been exhibited and admired around the world. But what fascinates me about Jenny is not simply her extraordinary skill with fabric and thread. It’s the world that quilting creates around women. Quilting can look, at first glance, like a quiet domestic craft. Yet when you look more closely, it becomes something much more powerful — a way of preserving history, telling stories, expressing identity, building friendships and creating communities. And perhaps most interestingly, quilting has created an international network in which women teach one another, support one another and share stories across cultures and generations. That raises a much bigger question for me: Can something traditionally associated with women’s domestic lives actually become a powerful form of cultural expression — and even a way of challenging a male-dominated world?
