Walking with Loss – online weekend retreat

From Friday 14th March to Sunday 16th . Suggested donation £55 – £99*

Using everything we have learnt from holding the Walking with Loss Together courses in person, Emma Capper and I invite you to join us for a wonderful weekend gently exploring and honouring our losses and our grief.

*We never want to exclude anyone on the basis of ability to pay. If you unable to pay the suggested donation, do please be in touch, and we will endeavour to offer you a bursary. If it is easy for you to donate more, we should be very grateful.

Course structure:

Online sessions: Friday 14th March 7 – 8.30pm; Saturday 15th,  10-11.30am and 7 – 8.30pm, Sunday 16th, 10-11.30am and 4-6pm. Connect with one another and share your experiences while being held safely and compassionately.

Nature sessions in your own time and chosen place: Saturday and Sunday. You can be in a garden or a woodland, a park or anywhere else that is comfortable and accessible for you. We will offer simple and creative invitations, accompanied by a recording of Emma’s attunement to nature. The exercises we offer are a way of uncovering the support and wisdom of Nature and will be resources you can take forward with you from the weekend.

If you would feel safer in the great outdoors with another trusted person, we suggest you ask them along as a witness. Most the exercises we offer are best undertaken quietly.

Creatively Writing Through Loss – online 4 session course

4 EVENING SESSIONS THROUGH FEBRUARY AND MARCH.

Mondays from 7-8.30pm:

February 10th and 17th, March 3rd and 10th

Suggested donation £40 – £55*

Building on last year’s Creative Writing course, I am delighted to offer a second chance to discover writing as a tool and a resource with which to explore and understand whatever loss – bereavement or other – you are dealing with in your life.

*I never want to exclude anyone on the basis of their ability to pay. Please make a smaller donation if you need to.

No previous experience of writing is necessary – we are interested in the process of discovery not a finished article. We want to write past the inner critic, past the judgement of good and bad and instead focus on what is true for us. I will write alongside you – there is no hierarchy!- and I hold all sessions compassionately and without judgement.

Gentle..safely held…journey of understanding…brilliant facilitation…enlightening” – a few words of feedback from last year’s participants.
