Tending to…

Grief is not a problem to be fixed.
It is a natural response to love, to connection, to what has mattered deeply in our lives.

To feel is to be alive. And grief, like joy, anger, or longing, is part of the full human range of feeling. Yet many of us have learned  -  often unconsciously -  that only certain emotions are welcome. We’re encouraged to stay positive, to move on, to keep things light. Grief is something we carry quietly, or push down, or hold alone.

This day offers a supportive, gently held space to feel, express, and move grief - not through telling stories or re-enacting loss, but through the body, the breath, and the voice. It is not a grief ritual, but a day of tending: allowing grief to be acknowledged, honoured, voiced, and given room to gently move.

Grief can arise from many kinds of loss: the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, the loss of a home, a role, a sense of belonging, or a version of ourselves we’ve had to let go of. Some grief is fresh; some has been waiting patiently for attention. All of it belongs.

Through grounding and somatic practices, we’ll begin by listening to what is being held in the body. From there, we’ll move into shared singing  - simple songs, intuitive and collaborative vocal spaces, mantra - allowing the voice to give shape and sound to feeling.

Everything is invitational. You are always free to step back, to listen, to rest, to join in at your own pace.

Anger is not our enemy, it is a natural life-force.

Anger can speak for our boundaries, our dignity, our unmet needs, and our sense of justice. Yet many of us have learned to fear it, suppress it, or judge it - in ourselves and in others. We may hold it in tightly to stay “good”, “calm”, or “reasonable”. Or it may spill out in ways that scare us, or don’t feel true to who we are.

This day offers a supportive space to learn more about anger and meet it with curiosity and compassion — to listen for what it’s asking for, and to explore how we can stay connected and present as it arises.

Anger is often the surface wave. Beneath it there is usually an unmet need — for safety, respect, care, autonomy, fairness, belonging, or rest. When anger is understood in this way, it becomes less something to fear or suppress, and more something to listen to. This day gently explores anger as an intelligent signal, helping us recognise what needs attention and care.

Through a combination of grounding, somatic, and vocal practices, we’ll build awareness of how anger shows up for us — how it gathers in the body, how it builds, and how different levels of activation feel. Alongside simple reflection and learning, we’ll work with voice and song to give anger expression without harm: shaping it, sounding it, and allowing it to move through rather than stagnate.
