Grief & Love Space

This is a space to meet our grief in words and sound.

Grief needs to emerge slowly, without forcing. We will warm up slowly, talk about what we are grieving and find ways of expressing grief in gentle sound exploration.

1. Arrive, gently explore how we will continue.
2. Resource ourselves with exploring gratitude.
3. Describe what we are individually grieving
4. Resource ourselves with structured sound exploration.
5. Space for exploring grief through sound
6. Integration and grounding.

This session plays with these guiding principles: 

That Grief is Necessary

That Grief is about unmet needs

That Grief is Fermented Love

That Blame stops Grief

That sound alchemises pain

How Grief is situated within my work:

I am a Certified Trainer in Nonviolent Communication and a creative conflict practitioner, mediating with and skilling up people in various kinds of organisations, relationship structures and social settings.

A lot of my conflict work involves creating safer spaces to allow the free expression of grief and to increase capacity to hear it. I am developing work that brings together Communication skills, Grief work and Conflict transformation as these 3 things are inextricably linked.

I have been exploring my own grief and offering grief spaces since 2014, when I began allowing herself to grieve all the ungrieved things in life. Also working with verbal expression of grief, I starting researching embodied ways of expressing grief that seemed to work at a deeper, more mysterious, less logical level. I began witnessing for myself and others, how truly meeting grief softens and revitalises our beings.
