    If I Die This Year: A Workshop for Living with Clarity, Courage, and Care

    Most of us live as if time is endless—and quietly feel the cost of that assumption.

Through reflection, gentle guidance, and optional connection with others, you’ll create your own personal “If I Die This Year” list—a living compass made up […]

    The Grief Space

    A one day workshop providing the opportunity to have your loss seen, heard and honoured. A small group where you be safely and gently supported to begin to process your grief. A combination of simple ritual, working in pairs and letter writing along with somatic work. We will explore concepts of grief and grieving and what is costs us when we don’t know how to actively grieve, something we’re expected to know intuitively but have becoming disconnected from. The intention is that you leave carrying your grief more lightly.
