Events | Norfolk Grief Tending

UPCOMING WORKSHOPS

Grief Tending workshops and ceremonies 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.
