Zee Burger is an author, artist, and lifelong creative whose work is rooted in curiosity, intuition, and the quiet power of storytelling.
Born and raised in the Western Cape of South Africa, Zee is the youngest child of Schalk Burger—a devoted nature lover and casual artist—and Lani Burger, a gifted but unpublished writer. Both parents passed away far too early: Schalk at sixty after a battle with Alzheimer’s, and Lani from cancer just two days after her fortieth birthday. Their unfinished dreams left a lasting imprint on the young Zee but today she lives a creative life knowing it would’ve made them proud.
In her forties she tried painting and, instinctively and without instruction, naturally echoed her father’s gift. Many of her works were privately sold across South Africa but nowadays the canvases patiently wait their turn for, as Zee stared fifty in the face, she playfully began penning her thoughts around her other love; literature. Once she started, she couldn’t wait to learn everything there was about this unique craft and surprised even herself when she received an offer to publish her (first non-fiction) book with Europe Books.
Becoming a healer, artist and published author therefor was not a career move so much as a homecoming – a way of honoring her ancestor’s unrealized voices and finally claiming her own.
Life, Experience & Evolution
Happily married, Zee currently resides in the Western Cape region of South Africa.
Before life lured her away from the 3D matrix by way of a corporate, Covid retrenchment, Zee spent three decades as a senior executive across the hospitality, construction, real estate, and legal industries.
What initially felt like rejection, soon revealed itself as redirection.
Seeing the Universe’s hand in her life, she stepped fully into her creative and healing work by becoming a full-time student, artist, author, and holistic practitioner. Today, she’s trained in over thirty healing modalities, including hypnotherapy, reiki, herbal medicine, and Kahuna bodywork while her writing gives her the freedom as a deeply spiritual and intuitive soul to plant mind seeds for the generations to come.
Writing & Purpose
Zee is the author of the innovative AI god: An (experimental) Interview, as well as spiritually inspired journals, self-help works, and writing guides. Many additional manuscripts—fiction and non-fiction—are quietly growing roots, ready for the right season.
Philosophy
“Your passion is your purpose!”
She often tells young creatives that if you do what you love every day, you never truly work. Now in her fifties, she considers herself living proof that it’s never too late for one’s passion to become their purpose.
Her aim as an author is not to instruct, but to plant mind seeds… ideas that awaken insight, imagination, and remembrance in each reader, in their own time. The earth and humanity’s consciousness is forever shifting onwards and upwards – being left behind without some mind seeds is not an option.
A Perpetual Student
Zee proudly calls herself a perpetual student. A lifelong bookworm (with classic authors like Wilbur Smith, Kathy Reichs, Agatha Christie, and Dan Brown close to her heart), she belongs to several writing communities and actively supports The Wilbur & Niso Smith Foundation, which champions new and unpublished voices.
For over a decade her love of learning fueled her desire to give back and – alongside her books – she also created :
- Cosmic Journeys — a free, multidimensional esoteric library
- Cosmic Zee — a space for shamanic and cosmic healing seekers
- Quantum Healing 88 — a global, holistic healing centre
She is human, imperfect, occasionally tired and grumpy—but always driven by the urge to leave the world a little more awake than she found it.
As a certain Highlander once said: “Mark me — I shall make a dent in this universe!”
