​​

UPCOMING DATES​

• Friday 13 November 2026. 10.30am-12.30pm. At a private location in Edge Hill. 

​

Do you have a little, or a lot, of grief that you are carrying in your body, heart and soul that is weighing you down or perhaps even drowning you?

Does it rise to the surface and overwhelm you or make you feel stuck?

Or perhaps you have buried or tucked your grief away in yourself while you've had to get on with life and with being strong because there has not been an appropriate safe and sacred space for you to bring it to or for you to be with it?

Grief and loss is something that will effect us all at some point in our lifetimes.

However in our modern day world, especially within our western society there tends to be not many safe spaces where our grief, sadness and losses are welcomed or allowed.

We seem to have lost the ability as a culture to create a safe and sacred space for grief. Which in itself can be experienced as a great loss because grief and loss is a healthy and natural part of life.

Being alone in ones grief without safe places to explore or express it or talk about it or hear others journeys with grief can make it extremely lonely and isolating.

​

Grief can lead us to a beautiful depth of soul and spirit. And in itself is a rite of passage we all must walk at some time in our lives (and some of us will walk this path often and more than others) .

​

If any of this resonates with you I invite you to join us and reclaim the sacredness of your grief. For indeed it is sacred. All the ancient tribal cultures had ceremony and sacred spaces for grief. For when it is honoured and allowed and revered so much beauty can bloom from these places.

Grief has its own course for each individual. 

Join us in this very special, small group, intimate sacred circle for women where we will share in the richness and depth and the deep feeling and heartfelt and heart ache journey of grief, love and loss.
 

There are many shades of grief.

​

Grief can effect us from many different life circumstances.... 

It could be from the death of a dearly loved one (expected or unexpected).

A miscarriage or stillbirth.

​

The loss of your home or property due to environmental events (floods etc).

​

It can be from the long term illness or disability and caring for parents, partners, children.

​

It could be from the end of a relationship.

​

The end of a career.

​

Sadness about the state of the worlds affairs, people in other countries or the destruction of the earth.

It could be about our modern world.

It could be the loss of parts of your own body as a woman through illness or accident or ongoing illness within.

It could be from other physical or emotional trauma.

And the list goes on. ​

​

Join us in a beautiful healing sacred space and in a supportive, kind and compassionate small group of big hearted, deep feeling, nature loving women to be with your grief and honour it as sacred no matter what stage of the journey of grief you are on. This is a space where your feelings from all shades of dark to light are welcome. Come to just be. To feel. To process. To acknowledge. To speak and to listen. To not be given any answers but to feel and find your way through in your own time and pace without any pressure of needing to arrive at any particular destination. 

​

Your grief and your feelings are valid. It's an expression of your humanity. And your humanness. And your deep feeling woman's heart. 

It would be a deep honour to share this sacred space with you if you feel called to come and join us.

Space for up to a maximum of 9 women to join me in this small group intimate sacred circle.

Know a woman who needs this space? Please let her know about it and that this space is available for her.  Grief can be such a heavy experience to carry alone. Grief needs to be witnessed, it needs a shared space (when one is ready). Needs tenderness, safety, compassion and not to be rushed.
