Babies in arms are welcomed into the circle. There will be candles so please follow your intuition if this is a right fit for babies on the move eager to be exploring new things. There is a mother-child circle being created so do subscribe to keep up with updates if this resonates with you.

Who is Grief Tending for ?
To be human is to know grief.
If you are experiencing grief that is recent or travels back generations- whether it’s a loved one lost , fertility struggles or miscarriage, relationships ended, personal losses, hopes and expectations that have gone unmet, grief for our planet and the beings we share it with or the longing for deep and meaningful connections in our lives, a community, a village. What ever grief you are carrying all is welcome.
We invite anyone that wishes to compassionately and lovingly integrate and tend to their grief, those who are ready to let grief change them and recognise and accept the initiation that is grief. To journey with their grief and witness what beauty they find with a deeper connection and gratitude for life.
Anyone who wishes to learn how to journey with their grief with an open and willing heart. How to hold both love and loss and sorrow and gratitude.
*Please note, If you are experiencing very raw grief and unsure if a circle is the right space for you, please get in touch and we can explore together.
