Grief Tending Workshops

Grief Tending Workshops

A held space for grief to move, breathe, and be witnessed​

 

These workshops are designed for people who are carrying loss and who want a space where grief does not need to be fixed, explained, or rushed. Together, we tend grief as a living process: one that moves through the body, the heart, and the nervous system when it is met with care.

 

My work is rooted in the understanding that grief is not a problem to solve, but an experience that needs to be safely held in order to unfold.

 

In these workshops, I offer:

    •    a regulated, steady presence that allows strong emotions to arise without overwhelming the space

    •    clear openings and closings, so participants are not left carrying raw material alone

    •    an emphasis on nervous system safety, pacing, and consent

    •    respect for each person’s unique relationship to loss

 

I am attentive not only to what is shared, but to how much is shared, and when. Grief is tended gently, in relationship, and with care for what participants need to return to their lives afterward.

 

What these workshops are (and are not)

 

These gatherings are not therapy, performance, or emotional excavation for its own sake.

They are a communal container where grief is welcomed, witnessed, and allowed to move at a human pace.

 

You are never asked to go further than you are ready to go. Silence is honoured. Tears are welcome. Laughter, too.

 

Who these workshops are for

 

These workshops may be supportive if you are:

    •    grieving the death of a loved one

    •    living with anticipatory grief

    •    holding unacknowledged or long-standing loss

    •    navigating life transitions that involve letting go

 

These gatherings are an invitation to slow down, listen inward, and tend to what is already present with care, dignity, and respect for your own timing.

 

Spaces are limited to 12 participants to maintain a safe and intimate circle.
