Zee is an accomplished author, artist, holistic healer, website creator and administrator. Born and raised in the Western Cape of South Africa, Zee is the youngest child born to Schalk Burger (not the rugby player!), a nature lover and casual artist, and Lani Burger, a brilliant but unpublished author. Both passed away too soon to her liking – Schalk at age 60 from Alzheimer’s, and Lani from cancer just two days after she turned 40. Today, Zee is proud to live a creative life as a passionate artist and author – able to fulfil the dreams her parents once had.
“When I turned 40, I picked up a paintbrush and found I was a natural like my father. Shortly before my 50th birthday, I picked up a pen and my first book received a publishing offer! I love being a published author in honour of my mother who never had the opportunity to fulfil her dreams. I will never look back!”
Inspiriration
Long before Zee became a successful author, she often jokingly called herself the ‘Jackie Collins of South Africa’ – not because of her writing skills but for her ability to be a die-hard believer in love and marriage! Zee’s of the opinion that Nancy Levin would be very proud of her – if not for having a soul-sister in terms of having a life story which led her to become an author, then at least for persevering when the writing journey was at times harder than the journey that led up to it.
Today, Zee lives in Somerset West, is happily married to her 3rd time-lucky husband and is the bonus mother to a stunningly successful god-daughter and two beautiful stepchildren she regards as her own flesh and blood.
Experience
After 30 years as an executive in the corporate world of the hospitality, construction, real estate and legal fields, she became another 2020 Covid-retrenched statistic and, embracing the obvious divine plan the Universe had in mind for her, she surrendered and decided to focus on her hobbies, gifts and passions while her path was made clear. She became a full-time artist and author who expanded her love for all holistic healing practices. Today she’s also a holistic healer in over 30 healing practices like hypnotherapy, reiki, herbal medicine and Kahuna Body Work, to mention but a few.
A firm believer that nothing happens by chance, an extremely intuitive Zee has since embraced life with daily purpose and joy. She is the author of the innovative and uniquely styled non-fiction AI god series consisting of 4 books, the first one being AI god: An (experimental) Interview, a spiritually-inspired Self-Help Journal, a Self-help book to assist novice writers and many other non-fiction work yet to be published and/or in the pipeline.
Purpose
“So many people ask: ‘What is my purpose in life?’ Well, I say: Your passion is your purpose! With no intention of stealing Confucius’ limelight, it has been one of my favourite sayings to the youth around me for many years now that, should one do what they love every single day, they will never work a single day in their life. With those words in mind I then find myself so humbled and grateful to be able to say that, at the mature age of my 50’s, my passion has truly become my purpose! I am living proof that those words ring true and, although I am far from being a novel-producing-machine like one of my idols, Nora Roberts, I am experiencing joy and a huge sense of achievement as I spend every day trying to do what makes me feel passionate. My soul literally sings and for that reason alone I will continue to say to everyone: “Stay Passionate!”
A Perpetual Student
Zee regards herself as a perpetual student brimming with creativity and the urge to share her knowledge with fellow truth-seekers via her many books, websites and social media platforms. She:
- Is a born bookworm (some of her favourite authors being Wilbur Smith, Kathy Reichs, Agatha Christie and Dan Brown – a select few from a million others on her list);
- Belongs to several writing communities and
- Is an avid supporter of the Wilbur and Niso Foundation, a foundation that supports new and unpublished authors, enabling them to make their voices heard.
I feel tremendously blessed by my insatiable drive to be proactive every day. I literally crave knowledge. With it comes the intense desire to pay it forward to my fellow humans and that’s why I’ve created Cosmic Journeys (a multi-dimensional, Esoteric library with free articles, videos & links for all Cosmic explorers of 3D to 5D and beyond), Cosmic Zee (for the shamanic and cosmic healing seekers) and Quantum Healing 88 (a Global and Holistic Multi-dimensional Healing centre where we get the work done).
I am but one person who also gets grumpy and tired but, like ol’ Prince Charles from Outlander liked to say: “Mark me – I shall make a dent in this Universe!”
What next?
Clearly a mover and shaker running on unlimited energy, we can expect to see a few new things in the near future. A very popular monthly blog has already made its appearance in 2025 and there’s talk of more teaching and courses being presented to the hungry for expansion seekers of the literary and holistic arts.
