GRIEF TENDING
A compassionate space to explore and express the complex emotions that come with grief.
A COMPASSIONATE SPACE
Grief Tending offers a vessel of tenderness and care to explore and express the complex emotions that come with grief, whether personal, collective, ancestral, ecological or systemic. This journey helps us remember how to be human in community and to process difficult feelings, leading to a sense of lightness and renewed energy.
Whether you're dealing with specific losses, childhood issues, or the weight of life’s changes, Grief Tending can be a valuable way to enhance well-being and help you feel more alive.
Erika's practice draws on a variety of traditions and teachings to create meaningful, inclusive rituals that support your emotional journey holding space to honour your grief, express your truth, reconnect with joy and your sense of aliveness.
UPCOMING EVENTS
Women’s Grief Tending Ceremony
Sunday, 23rd February
Cadogan Pier, London
Dear Sister,
We warmly invite you to join us in a sacred circle of women, where we will hold space for the deep, unspoken grief that touches so many of us on our journey with fertility, motherhood, and loss.
This ceremony is especially for those who have experienced:
The ache of infertility and longing.
The heartbreak of miscarriage or stillbirth.
The complex emotions surrounding abortion.
The grief of childlessness, whether chosen or not.
Together, we will create a safe and nurturing space to honour our stories, share in our vulnerability, and find comfort in the company of those who truly understand.
Testimonial
“A heartfelt thank you for your warm and welcoming energy at the grief tending retreat. It really did feel like a retreat, away from it all for the day. Although I felt rather physically exhausted by the end of the day, there were some powerful shifts. I particularly felt sad for the pain and grief others were experiencing and it helped put things into perspective about how we are all suffering in some way (even if it isn't obvious).
The day flowed smoothly from one practice to the next and it was well structured. I liked that we all respected each other and allowed each other the space we needed to express our grief without dwelling on it or talking about it again afterwards.
I felt safe and comfortable with you and all the participants.”
