Relearning GriefA new series of Grief circles You are invited to a series of listening circles to remember people or things that have been lost in our lives, including innocent parts of ourselves. The circles will be a collective time for sharing and being witnessed compassionately in our grief. Grief as a response to loss and death is part of life, but is often seen as something to be fixed or avoided, as if there was something ‘wrong’, if you are feeling sad about the end of a relationship, the loss of a job or of failing health, or if you are still grieving a parent, sibling, partner or child who died a while ago. You may feel pressure to ‘move on’ to the next thing rather than acknowledging the pain of the loss. These circles are also a space for acknowledging empathic pain of tragedy not in our immediate life; war, violence, pollution, loss of any life. In my journeying with grief, I am learning how to witness the 'felt sense' of my own grief, how to be notice, welcome and allow the experiences of grief in my body. This practice draws on Nonviolent communication (from where I learnt that grief and mourning is a human need and without it I suffer), and Focussing. I will offer practice in this and we will also have time for sharing in a circle. The circles are open to everyone. You can come to one or all. |
