Come Together - A Grief Circle In Nature

In a compassionate Circle held by two experienced facilitators, you will come together with other people experiencing loss.

Grief takes many forms, and all are welcome here. You may be grappling with the death of a loved one, major life events, break-ups or divorce, past trauma, shifting personal identity, climate grief, and more.

This is your opportunity to bring your grief out of the darkness. You will be witnessed and heard; and witness others in their grief, too. Know that you are not alone.

You will be offered prompts to reflect on, but what you share in the Circle is up to you. Tears and laughter are equally welcome, as is silence.

Embrace the warmth of community, find solace and strength in nature, and make room for light to filter through.

About the facilitators:

Amy Larsen is a Specialist Grief Therapist, Accredited Social Worker and the founder of Brisbane Grief Counselling. She is dedicated to having authentic conversations about life, loss and grief and desires to change the narrative of how we approach grief as a community. She has experience in holding space for groups and individuals and considers it a privilege to walk alongside people as they navigate their way in grief.

Monique Ross is a certified Nature and Forest Therapy Guide and the founder of Heartwood Nature Bathing. She has experience facilitating Circle sharing, and has witnessed firsthand the power of nature to help people heal deep grief and reconnect with themselves, others, and the world.

Need to know:

The Circle has a maximum number of 10 participants, and runs for approximately 70 minutes. We begin with a grounding meditation, and wind down with a light morning tea.

This event is held at Minnippi Parklands, Tingalpa. (We offer grief circles held in other locations and online; if this time or location does not suit, check the others!) This venue is wheelchair accessible. It is a public space, but the Circle is held in a quiet pocket of nature.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with Monique via hello@heartwoodnaturebathing.com or 0401 795 236.

You are welcome, exactly as you are.
