Grief Tending Circle

In our society, we celebrate our wins in community, however often have to move through the losses in isolation.

This is a space to remember that we were never meant to do this alone. 

This is a safe space, where all grief is welcome and together we tend to our grief. 

Held by Breathwork Therapist, Aimee Robinson and Women’s Circle Facilitator, Hayley Stanway - this circle will start with an exploration of grief tending. Followed by a journey through Conscious Connected Breathwork - a powerful modality that helps us feel into and process our emotions via our breath, followed by optional sharing - but most importantly - all being held in community. 

Grief is not a cognitive process, but a deeply somatic, emotional and soul-based process. This is a space where we move through our grief, whilst being held in the medicinal container that comes in community circles. 

What is grief? 

Grief has a cultural acknowledgement for being solely referenced to a life lost. Whilst this is true, grief is also an emotion we all hold and it's important to bring acknowledgement to this emotion in order for it to be processed. 

Grief can be a relationship ended, a family or friendship dynamic shifted. 

The unmet hopes and expectations we've longed for. In a time when our lives have become very insular - there's a deeper longing within us yearning for connection. This yearn is a grief. 

Grief of self if a big one. The parts of ourselves we've outcasted or perhaps as we've entered a new chapter in our lives (such as Motherhood) and we grieve for the life we once new, to create space to step into this next chapter in our lives.

We also have ecological grief for a world we are seeing being destroyed. 

Grief is such a universal emotion, however without naming it and acknowledging it - we don't create the space to move through this process and when we've not move through our grief, it shows up in our life later as symptoms. 

Therefore this is a circle and a space, where all grief is welcome.
