Grief Circle and Soundbath

Join Holistic Healing Practitioner and Soul Doula, Eva Lake, for this intimate grief circle and soundbath.

Grief comes in many shapes and forms and your grief is valid - whatever the cause. Whether that be the death of a loved one, pet loss, job loss, divorce or a change in circumstances that leave you grieving the person you once were.

Grief can affect every part of our being. The physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. Being amongst others who are experiencing the same is a great comfort. Soundbaths offer a gentle way to process and create a space where people can rest, release, and reconnect with themselves without needing to “do” anything.

Who is this for:

This event is for anyone experiencing grief, in whichever shape or form.

What to expect:

We'll start with a one word check in before being given the option to share (without pressure - all is welcome). After which, you'll be encouraged to lie down on a fold out bed and get comfortable under a blanket. After a short meditation, you’ll be immersed in a soothing soundscape while you drift off into relaxation.

Benefits of peer run grief circles:

• Reduces isolation

Grief can feel profoundly lonely. Sitting with others who are also grieving offers the quiet reassurance of “I’m not the only one.”

• Normalises the grieving process

Hearing a range of experiences helps people understand there is no right way to grieve — no timeline, no hierarchy of loss.

• Shared understanding without fixing

Peer spaces tend to be less about advice and more about presence. This often feels safer than well-meaning but unhelpful reassurance.

• Empowerment through mutual support

Participants aren’t passive recipients of care — everyone contributes simply by being there. This can restore a sense of agency after loss.

• Accessible and less intimidating

Peer-run circles are often more approachable than formal therapy, especially for those unsure whether they’re “grieving enough” to seek professional help.

Benefits of Soundbaths for People Experiencing grief:

• Emotional Regulation & Nervous System Support

Grief can leave us in a constant state of emotional overwhelm. The soothing tones of instruments like singing bowls, chimes, and drums help activate the parasympathetic nervous system, calming the body and allowing a sense of safety. This can reduce symptoms such as anxiety, insomnia, and emotional dysregulation.

• Non-Verbal Emotional Processing

Grief often lives beyond words. Sound bypasses the thinking mind and meets people where they are emotionally. Participants can release stuck or unexpressed feelings including sorrow, anger, guilt or numbness, without needing to speak or explain.

• A Sense of Connection and Presence

Loss often brings with it a sense of isolation. A soundbath creates a collective, compassionate space for people to grieve in the company of others. Even in silence, this can help participants feel less alone in their experience and more connected to something greater than themselves.

• Restoring Sleep and Soothing the Body

Soundbaths are particularly effective in helping regulate sleep patterns - something that’s often deeply disrupted in grief. They can also ease physical tension, support heart rate regulation, and lower blood pressure, all of which can be thrown off during periods of mourning.

• Creating a Gentle Ritual Space

Soundbaths can become part of a healing ritual - a moment to pause, reflect, honour, and begin to rebuild. This is especially powerful when words feel empty or when traditional mourning spaces don’t quite meet the needs of the grieving individual.

• Spiritual Support

For those seeking spiritual comfort (whether religious or not), soundbaths can offer a sense of connection to the unseen - to the person lost, to source, or simply to the deeper self. They invite a meditative, open-hearted state where insight, release, or even peace may arise.

What you will need:

Please bring some water to stay hydrated. Although the studio has plenty, feel free to bring your own blankets and cushions to make sure you're extra comfortable. You will be lying down and it's not unusual for your body temperature to drop once you start to relax, so make sure you're dressed appropriately. Don't forget your comfy socks.
