Grief Tending
Through story, song, ritual and celebration
SUNDAY 8TH NOVEMBER | 11.00 - 18.00
Chorleywood, Hertfordshire
Rebecca Chipping & Mike Robeson
Grief is a natural, human response to loss, but it is often carried quietly, without space, language, or support.
This workshop offers a gentle, guided environment where you are invited to slow down, turn toward what you are holding, and tend to your grief with care and compassion.
Together, we will create a supportive and confidential space to explore the many shapes grief can take, whether from bereavement, life transitions, unmet expectations, or the quiet accumulations of loss we carry over time.
Through a blend of reflective practices, facilitated conversation, song and simple ritual, you will have the opportunity to express, witness, and honour your experience in your own way.
This is not about fixing or moving on. It is about allowing and making room for what is present, and discovering how grief, when tended, can soften, connect, and even transform.
Across cultures and generations, grief has been tended in community.
This gathering is an invitation to remember that way.
The workshop will include:
-
Story and reflection
-
Song and vocal harmonies
-
Ritual to honour grief and welcome joy
-
Space to share what we carry in our hearts
Everyone welcome!
Numbers are limited, so book early to join us for this healing day of grief tending.
Cost £95
Refreshments, snacks and lunch (vegan soup with bread and cheese) are included in the price.
If you have special dietary needs, please bring whatever you need for the day.
