GRIEF GROUP CIRCLE -DAHAB

Grief is one of the hardest emotions to process and move through, while death is the only certainty in life, it is still often hidden, shunned and rarely discussed in the West. It’s been said that humans suffer from two primary feelings of coping with the world in the state it’s currently in - Amnesia and Anaesthesia; to forget and to numb out. Both of which take away what it truly means to be a whole human, and that is to feel in order to heal.

For almost 8 months now we have been bombarded with live streamed images of thousands of deaths of Gazan civilians, as well as our other neighbours in Sudan, also going through a similar silent genocide. No matter how much we may deny, doom scroll or carry on with business as usual, these images, stories and inhumane deaths are affecting our psyches, unconscious minds and lives. We need regular spaces to talk about our Grief in order to process our pain, not repress it.

In this gathering, we welcome everyone into a Safe Space to sit in circle - to connect, breathe, drink tea together, to eventually feel safe enough to share - or not - with others who are also grieving some kind of loss. There is no “Fixing”; only deep listening and respect to everyone who speaks, allowing them to share their pain of loss without interruptions. There is deep healing in being seen and heard, in a safe and inclusive space. We start with a grounding meditation to bring us fully into our bodies and the moment - no previous meditation experience necessary.

In the midst of the pain of Grief, we often lose sight of some of the good things that exist in our lives, so we will likely end with a little gratitude shoutout.

Simple acknowledgment of just one thing which we are deeply grateful for now in our present circumstances and lives.

Informed by my own early experiences of deep grief - the pain of my mother wound from her loss to heart disease at age 10, then my father to alcoholism at 30 - I know how painful, lonely and isolating the grieving process is.

Then on the flip side, how much love and light can shine through us once we move over to the other side of Grief. There is deep Alchemy in this process, which can be seen, felt and embodied over time.

Remember Grief was always meant to be witnessed and shared in community, not on our own or in private.

GRIEF GROUP

Grief is one of the hardest emotions to process and move through, while death is the only certainty in life, it is still often hidden, shunned and rarely discussed in the West. Throughout 2020 everyone suffered a loss of some kind, so essentially, we are collectively in the grieving process.

In these gatherings, we allow everyone a welcoming space to sit in circle - to share food or drink tea together, to feel safe enough to share - or not - with others who are also grieving a loss. There is no fixing, only deep listening and respect to everyone who speaks, allowing them to share their pain of loss without interruptions. There is deep healing in being seen and heard, in a safe and inclusive space. We also start with a grounding meditation to bring us fully into our bodies and the moment - no previous meditation experience necessary. In the midst of the pain of Grief, we often lose sight of some of the good things that exist in our lives, so we end with a little gratitude shoutout.

Simple acknowledgment of one thing which we are grateful for now in our present circumstances and lives.

Informed by my own early experiences of deep grief - the loss of my mother to illness at 10 and father to alcoholism at 30 - I know how painful, lonely and isolating the grieving process is. Also how much love and light can shine through us once we move through to the other side of Grief. There is deep Alchemy in this process, which can be seen felt and embodied in time.

I will be holding grief groups monthly, in person OR online; the last Saturday of each month, the next one is October 29th at 7:30pm.

Cost £10 Waged or £ 5 Unwaged.

Any questions feel free to DM me or call me on 07404891872.
