Opening to life, in a space where grief is welcome
“Feeling so grateful and like my heart has opened more after a beautiful and poignant event. Bilal, Sarah and Tony held the space so intentionally, authentically and safely. Lovely to connect with other generous souls and I found it moving and sacred to share our grief.”
This session offers the chance to be seen and heard in the presence of a supportive group. With a focus on self-care, respect, and listening with heart, we encourage connecting with ourselves and finding our unique expression.
‘A 4 Hour universe’
This 4 hour online grief support circle makes space for emotions away from the busyness of our daily lives. The workshop includes a series of guided exercises gradually moving towards a central Grief Circle, followed by integration. Grief Tending in community is designed to offer support with grief. Being together online can allow us to be comfortable in our own space, so that we can take care of our needs, wherever we may be calling from.
Finding support with life’s challenges and grief
This workshop is for you if you long for a space where all of you is welcome. You may be in the flow of grief, or struggling to cope with change, loss, bereavement, trauma, or in need of recovery time. Every grief is valid and unique. Feelings may include anxiety, sadness, rage, depression, emptiness and relief, amongst many others. People may bring challenging themes and strong expressions of emotion.
This Grief Workshop may not be suitable for those experiencing a severe mental health crisis, or for those feeling particularly unsupported. We’re available to discuss this with you if you are unsure whether this event is right for you at the moment, so please don’t hesitate to contact us here.
In these sessions we use recognised approaches to tend to and honour our grief exactly as it is, drawing on the practices, rituals and teachings of elders including Sophy Banks, Jeremy Thres, Maeve Gavin, Sobonfu Somé, Joanna Macy, Francis Weller, Martin Prechtel, and others.

“It was so powerful to witness others and being witnessed. Showing my vulnerable side is not always welcome in daily life, so I’m extremely grateful for this space. The facilitators are super attentive, resourceful and authentic; I felt held and safe throughout the session and afterwords. The courage and honesty of the attendees were inspiring.”
“It was such a heart soothing and soul-enriching experience to participate in the space you created. I felt so utterly welcomed, free to bring whatever was alive in me, and never pressured to be anywhere I wasn’t. I had moments of feeling a huge resistance in myself, and was allowed to dance with that and invite what was hiding underneath. The threads that you wove to create our container felt so gently, lovingly and intentionally woven, held with both sincerity and lightness.”
“Thanks so much for creating a space of support and love. I felt safe at all times and the suggestions to move off screen or turn off the camera meant that I felt I wasn’t stuck to a box on screen. All the facilitators held space for each person and guided it when needed.”
