Explore how to design a grief tending journey, and how to meet grief and loss with more creativity and confidence.
This workshop programme is for anyone interested in forming a grief tending peer group, and for professionals working in any context where grief is an issue who wish to find out more about this community approach.
๐–๐ก๐จ ๐ˆ๐ฌ ๐ˆ๐ญ ๐…๐จ๐ซ?
* Have you taken part in a grief tending circle, and feel inspired to find out more about this approach?
* Are you working in a professional capacity with people experiencing grief, and keen to explore how this community approach could inform your work?
* Are you looking to become more confident about approaching grief (your own and others) and feel drawn to the idea of growing a more grief-literate culture?
* Are you curious about the crossover between professional and peer-led approaches to healing, and the interplay between individual and collective wellbeing?
* Are you looking to take a first step towards becoming a grief tending facilitator?
* Are you interested in learning how to set up your own group or in helping your community form a grief tending peer group?
* If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, you would be welcome to join us for this learning journey to explore these and other questions.

We will look at how a self-facilitating group can create their own grief tending space, drawing on learnings from other peer-group models. We will explore the flow of the Grief Tending in Community journey and you will have a chance to facilitate a process in a supported environment.
We will also explore questions around ethics and group membership. You will be able to take away a handbook to supplement the group learning journey, which contains background notes and a template to help you design your group process.
A prerequisite for attending this programme is that you have attended either a 5-6 week group journey or a one-day (or longer) workshop with Norfolk Grief Tending or with others working in the same tradition. If you are new to grief tending in community, you can sign up for our upcoming group journey or one-day workshop at https://www.norfolkgrief.com/events

All our events are offered on a gift basis, which means thereโ€™s no financial barrier to participation. This is a bit different to simply inviting donations. Weโ€™re asking you to feel into a contribution that feels right for you.
