You are warmly invited to join us for this one day grief tending workshop, to explore a range of grief tending in community practices which have been designed to witness, hold, and transform your grief.

What To Expect

We will gently explore each stage of the grief tending journey through circle sharing, conversation in pairs, small group work and an accessible, inclusive ceremony. The session will include an introduction to the broad spectrum of loss, inspired by the 'gates of grief' map offered by Francis Weller, which includes collective grief (ecological, generational etc.) as well as personal losses such as bereavement and life transitions.

Who Is It For?

This is an opportunity to experience all the elements of the grief tending journey with the spaciousness to go deeper into the practices. It's a good next step if you've been to a grief tending in community introduction, or if you feel ready for a day devoted to welcoming and transforming grief.

The Gifting Approach - Pay What You Can

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

This workshop is subsidised by Big Lottery funding. Your gift will ensure that we can continue offering sessions to everyone who needs them, regardless of their financial circumstances.
