Apprenticing to Grief
Sophy Banks & Jeremy Thres

20/10/24
An immersive journey for people wanting to deepen their relationship with grief, and strengthen their capacity to hold grief spaces for others.
We explore the journey of grief, the way in, exploring the landscape of grief in ceremony and other forms, and the paths to return. We share different views of grief, and traditions about how to welcome it. We look at questions of safety and ethics in holding grief spaces, and the relationship between grief, trauma and the wider systems of harm and times of disruption we are living in.
Our intention is to share what we have learnt in more than a decade of holding collective grief spaces, and to support others to take their next step towards working with grief as a teacher, an ally and force for healing.

Grief Tending in Community

All grief is welcome at all these workshops. Whether you are with personal loss or bereavement, healing from past wounds, disturbed by world or local events, or acknowledging the pain of those who went before still reverberating in your family or community, your grief is deserving of tending, and is welcome. Residential grief tending workshops allow us to go deeper and transform more. In the spaciousness of having a series of processes, grief can be expressed and witnessed in different ways, working with the body, words, sound, images, song and more.

The days are drawing in and the nights are becoming cold. At this time when the veil is thin and magic is woven into every breath, lets gather to call to our ancestors, dance our prayers and open our hearts to the winter to come
This is the fourth year for Heart to Hearth, an intimate gathering for us to come together, sing, dance, play and pray in the heart of the wild lands of Dartmoor.
