Embracing Grief and Death as a part of Life

This one-day workshop is dedicated to honouring death and grief as essential events that come to us as we journey through life. 

When we allow ourselves the space and time to reflect deeply on our lives and the losses within it, new ways of seeing and feeling our sorrows emerge along with a desire to live life with evermore gratitude and joy.

Using diverse perspectives and creative processes, this tender inquiry works to ease our anxieties and heartache, and to increase our sense of connection and wonder.

Facilitator: Linda Rawlings is an experienced facilitator whose focus has turned from a life-long exploration of childbirth issues to the pressing need for more information, readiness and respect around death, dying and grief.  Linda’s Embracing Grief and Death Workshops run along similar themes to her Death Becomes Us Retreats which she has run privately since 2017 to guide a deep reflection on life, death and grief in order to increase understanding, healing, presence and connection.  Linda’s unique approach inspires greater ease and joy, and is offered with lightness, love and creativity.

Linda has trained as a Death Doula and is the General Manager at the Grief Centre of Western Australia.

Retreat Testimonials:

Thank-you Linda for a wonderful retreat.  It was a meaningful and sensitively handled experience as well as very informative and enriching.  It was a truly rare opportunity to examine our inner fears and thoughts associated with the inevitable - death. In saying this, I came out of the workshop feeling positive and energized.  Thank you again.   PK

Linda is a remarkably warm, heart-based facilitator. Her professionalism and gentle compassion, holding the space for rich conversations, feeding in just enough to allow participants to bring out their own story and weaving this tricky subject into a fabric so very rich and soulful.  RB

Beginning at the dawn of the day, this expansive, fascinating, honest and playful perspective on death and dying turns the grim reaper into a benevolent, gentle chaperone and throws an invigorating new light on living. I'm seeing my everyday world with new eyes of wonder and I want to keep that view for the rest of my days!!   BD

The event sounded confronting and I didn’t know what to expect. But I left with an increased awareness of life, of my path, of my invulnerability and was electrified. Linda created a beautiful and safe environment for me to speak that which is unspoken, to let go and to be easy and grow. I felt the love of my father, who committed suicide, as intensely as ever. If just this event name makes you curious, do yourself a favour and get to know more about it before it’s too late!   JA
