“We only grieve for what we love; so in this way grief is evidence of our love. Grief becomes an act of love that breaks our hearts open to the vast and beautiful landscape of gratitude and aliveness.”
— FRANCIS WELLER
Join us for four nourishing, gentle and supportive grief tending circles to hold you through the holiday season.
December can be a very difficult time if you are experiencing grief, loss or longing. It’s a time when there is an emphasis on family and festivities, both of which can be challenging if you’re navigating a huge loss in your life.
These grief circles will be a place to quietly and courageously create space for our grief - both personal and collective. I will offer a cosy place to land with gentle embodiment practices, meditations and reflections on grief and love through poetry and music.
There will be pockets of time to share and connect but mostly this will be an opportunity to rest and receive the gift of stillness and presence. It will be a container outside of the busyness of Christmas to be guided and supported to reconnect to your heart.
Together we will find new ways to slow down, honour our bodies and listen to what arises in quiet evenings by candlelight. And so, you are gently invited to grab a warm cup of tea and snuggle in under a blanket. You are welcome join all four or drop into the ones that you can.
I am so looking forward to these restful, nourishing and simple evenings together during the festive season.
Your grief is welcome here
You are worthy of rest
You are welcome just as you are
You are enough
You are invited to rest
You are held in stillness
Kind words
“The hour I spent every Tuesday evening in Nici's weekly community gatherings was the most relaxed I felt all week. It was a real anchor for me navigating a deep winter for me - both as the season outside and one I was experiencing in my life as a sleep-deprived mother to a toddler. Our circles were a nourishing, relaxing and connected hour every week that allowed me to be really committed to taking space for myself and to rest when I needed it most. Nici is so open and authentic and she always guided the sessions flow to meet the needs of the group.”

“Nici’s sessions have been such a treasured and soothing balm for me. I loved that each week had no formula and I looked forward to the fluidity and formlessness of the time we spent. Nici gently encouraged us to feel all the feelings that arose and to tend to them with kindness and guidance. Sharing this with a community was hard at first but I softened into this process and took strength and shared connection in hearing from others. This was transformational as I have always been scared of ‘difficult’ feelings.”

“Nici has helped me so much with my grief, her work is beautiful, gentle and welcoming. She has helped me look at grief in a different way, a different light. Connecting with Nici and other people has made a huge difference in feeling less alone and isolated on my own grief journey. I will continue the grief circles for as long as possible. I will be forever grateful for what she does.”
