You are warmly invited to join us for this grief tending in community introduction, to learn more about the approach and get a brief taste of the practices we explore in the longer workshops.
Think of it as dipping your toes into the healing waters of the grief tending in community approach before diving deeper into the transformational potential of a longer workshop.

Our circles are for anyone who is feeling the pain of grief and loss and looking for a place where those feelings can be welcomed, witnessed and held.
We welcome grief and loss of all kinds including life changes, bereavement and childhood losses, as well as ancestral, ecological and collective grief.
Through working creatively with grief in this way, in the sacred space we create together, we have found that it is possible, not only to grieve well, but also to access the joy, connection and peace that lie on the other side of our pain.
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐩
We will travel through the spiral of the Grief Tending in Community approach and explore the 'gates of grief' map offered by Francis Weller.
There will be a group discussion about the different faces of grief, gentle pair work, simple ceremony, and a brief time of soothing and integration to finish.
We're offering this event on a gift basis where you choose the amount of your financial gift between £10 and £30.
