Learn about grief tending and experience the support of this approach

You are warmly invited to join us for this grief tending in community circle to learn more about this approach and experience the support of these practices for yourself.

This trauma-informed approach provides a safe place for you to allow your feelings to emerge and to flow without being plunged into overwhelm.

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.

This circle is 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.

You can bring all types and expressions of grief, including bereavement, health issues, life changes; long-term grief, passed down through families and culture; pain for the natural world and for future generations; and grief that is stuck or frozen. All of this and more is welcome.

Perhaps you are new to grief tending in community and feeling curious about trying some of the activities before diving deeper in a longer workshop or retreat.

Or you may have attended a Grief Tending event before and wish to experience the support of the circle at this time.

We will travel through the spiral of the Grief Tending in Community approach, and explore the 'gates of grief' map offered by Francis Weller, a key source for this work.

Connecting with what is resourcing and holding us in life at this time, we will create a strong container together as we begin to touch in on our grief.

We will tend what arises through a combination of work in pairs and in circle sharing and ceremony, and we will have a time of soothing and integration to finish.
