SUMMARY:Two - Day Grief Tending Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Saturday 14th - Sunday 15th November \nA two-day grief-tending gathering that honours the sacred space of sorrow and remembrance\, both personal and ancestral. This work draws on the teachings of Sobonfu and Malidoma Some of the Dagara of West Africa\, Joanna Macy and the guidance of Francis Weller\, particularly as shared in his book The Wild Edge of Sorrow and the Grief Tending in Community practices developed by Sophy Banks. The wisdom from these traditions form the foundation of our shared work. \nWe will come together in a space held with warmth\, care\, and shared intention. Through guided rituals\, gentle practices\, and shared silence and song\, we will meet the many layers of grief\, those we carry individually\, communally\, and through our lineages. \nThe journey gives time to build trust together\, help grief to surface\, express and witness grief\, and integrate\, to be ready to return to our lives. We will include rest\, nature connection\, and shared meals. The gathering will close by 4.30 PM on the second day. All practices are invitational and held within a confidential circle. \nSpaces are limited to maintain intimacy and depth. If this gathering speaks to you\, we welcome your presence. \nFor questions or to express interest\, please write to: support@shiningdarkness.com \nFacilitators\nSophy Banks \nSophy’s understanding of the importance of shared grief work started through attending workshops of Joanna Macy and Sobonfu Some and continued in more recent work with Maeve Gavin. Since 2013 she has been growing Grief Tending in Community to seed and spread the practices of tending grief together\, through offering talks\, workshops in many formats\, and supporting facilitators of grief work in her ‘Apprenticing to Grief’ programme and beyond. \nRohan Narse \nRohan is a grief-tender\, facilitator\, guide\, and Co-Founder of Shining Darkness – a sanctuary for grief tending\, soul work and renewal. His approach is shaped by initiations within the Bwiti tradition in Gabon and grief apprenticeships—first with Francis Weller and later with Sophy Banks. Through ritual\, invocation and gentle facilitation\, Rohan holds space for others to experience trust\, healing and soul remembrance. \nSelena King \nSelena is a grief-tender\, Co-Founder of Shining Darkness and Spiritual and Anticipatory Care Lead at St Catherine’s Hospice. Her work is rooted in the conviction that death\, grief\, and the darkest passages of human experience are not problems to be solved but thresholds to be accompanied with presence\, reverence\, and care. Through deep listening\, loving awareness and still companionship\, Selena holds space for what is most difficult to face. \nParticipants will need to fill out the application form to attend. This step is part of our care protocol and allows us to understand who's coming and ensures we can hold the space well for everyone present. After we receive your application\, we will confirm your place and send payment details. \nTo support accessibility\, we offer a sliding scale for the two-day gathering: £140\, £190 or £230\, depending on your means. \nIf you would like to book meals or accommodation please book through Emerson HERE \n  \n\n\nBook now

SUMMARY:Woman Weaving Wisdom - Weaving the Dream of Wryd an Event for Women
DESCRIPTION:In this weekend retreat we turn our attention to the profound potency of listening with the whole of our being\, to receiving and weaving our dream of life. So much emphasis nowadays is placed upon achieving goals and visioning rather than tuning into that which is already in the field of creation waiting for us to tune into\, receive and co-create. To be aware within the dream of life is to be in the consciousness of connection. It is to directly experience the intelligent and compassionate universe. \nIt is to be less in the solid material world and more in the energy world. To be in this awareness\, through experience\, we develop greater trust in the intelligence of the body\, the intelligence of the heart. We will seek to embody more of our internal authority instead of giving so much of our power and vitality to external authority. \nThe medicine people from around the world live with one foot in the material world and one foot in the world of energy - the spirit world. They know how to be aware of\, and receive from\, the energy world\, how to hear the songs of the vibrations of the dreams. They know how to make themselves available and open to receiving and call into manifestation\, into this material world. We also know\, but may have forgotten\, to fully re-member this. First\, we take time to deeply listen and receive and then call and feel into being the dreams that sing to us. \n“Begin to weave and the Divine will provide the thread. “~ Old proverb. \nWe will craft the flow with a variety of tools and practises; The wisdom from the circle of women The power of song Storytelling The Shamanic drum journey Ceremony Spiritual connection and being in nature. \nFacilitator\nDawn Russell \nDawn brings over 40 years of experience working with practices of healing\, connecting through nature\, sharing our stories and exploring the dynamics of life\, to help us remember and restore the wellbeing and sacredness of our humanity. \nLorraine Grayston \nLorraine brings many years of life’s diverse experiences\, working with a unique alchemy of Astrology\, Shamanism and Homeopathy to find our way to holistic healing and re-member our own Divinity and the role of the Sacred Feminine\, in each of us\, in our conscious co-creation of life’s unfolding. \n5th & 6th of December 2026\nSaturday 10am – 5:30pm\nSunday 10am – 5pm. \nFees\n£250 for the weekend. (£60 deposit)\n(does not include meals or accommodation) \nEnquiries & Booking contact: Lorraine 07713 401 956 or Dawn 07808 579 564 \nEmail: info@medicinewomanmedicineways.co.uk
