Autumn Reflections: A Grief Retreat - A safe comfortable space to explore the emotions of grief.

Join us for a transformative Grief Retreat focusing on reflections as we honour the change of seasons. We aim to provide you with a safe haven where you can navigate the complex emotions of grief. This in-person event will take place on Sat 27th `September 2025 at Studio 6 UNIT 3 Scott Hall Mills LS7 2HT.

At the Grief Retreat, we understand that grieving is a unique and personal journey. As compassionate facilitators, we will guide you through various healing activities, allowing you to express, reflect, and find solace in the company of others who share similar experiences.

Immerse yourself in the serene surroundings of Studio 6 in a beautiful old Mill as we encourage you to connect with your emotions, memories, and the beauty of the present moment. Through gentle exercises, sharing, movement, reiki, sound and art therapy, you will gain insights, tools, and support to help you navigate the grieving process.

These retreats are designed to be a safe space where you can freely express yourself without judgment and with support. Our aim is to foster a sense of community and provide you with the opportunity to find comfort, understanding, and healing. The retreat will act as a step in your healing journey, that you can build upon moving forwards.

Whether you have recently experienced a loss or are still processing past grief, our Grief Retreats are open to everyone seeking solace and emotional growth.

Take this important step towards healing and join us on this transformative journey.

About the venue:

There is some parking outside the mill and a free council car park to the side.
