THE ‘GRIEF IN NATURE’ EXPERIENCE

This 3 month online group experience is a place where we create the conditions for connection – to nature,ourselves and each other. A place where we rest and resource ourselves so that we can integrate grief into our lives and live fully.

In this experience we are guided by the 4 elements of earth, air, fire and water, and we will practice simple rituals that will support you to feel more connected and trusting of yourself and your grief.

Drawing on the art of grief tending and the work of Francis Weller, we will explore ‘Thegates of grief’ which allows us to tend to all forms of grief, both personal and collective. This can be deeply healing and gives us a fresh perspective to our experience of grief.

Grief is more than words. It’s a full-bodied experience. Which is why we need practices that go beyond talking.

The sessions will include guided meditation, somatic practices, storytelling, poetry, music and dance.  The sessions offer a structure that you can settle into and are set up so that you are free to share and participate as much or little as feels right for you.

Each week I will share home practices that encourage you to spend time in nature. When we grieve in nature it offers us the safety of turning towards the more than human world, which, for many of us is a sanctuary. A place that is neutral and unconditional. If we have lost trust in humans, this is a place where we start to build our capacity to open our hearts again.
