workshops & GRIEF CEREMONIES

Grief Tending workshops draw on a lineage pioneered by ​​Sophy Banks and Jeremy Thres (see this page on their website for more). The lead workshop facilitators have gone through Sophy and Jeremy's Apprenticing to Grief programme, and they are supported by a team bringing a wealth of life experience and expertise to this work.

Grief, like a welcome rainstorm on parched sand, is not an illness, but a primordial institution of the human soul. It is our innately supplied dressing for the fresh wounds of the losses we sustain in the struggle to love as a way of life. - Martín Prechtel
