Grief Retreat: An invitation to Feel, Connect & Release

Rooted Hearts is a collaboration between Sarah @the_resilience_treecounselling and Sam @heart_space_drumming. We are hosting a nourishing and healing day retreat to help you relate to and process grief.

Grief is not just the loss of a person.

We can feel loss over anything we have an attachment to, whether physical or ephemeral.

It can arise from the loss of a person or animal, career or home, identity or idea.

𝐆𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐟 𝐢𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐥.

When activated, it allows not only the processing of current grief, but it also gives permission to all that lies dormant to bubble to the surface.

Grief permeates, hordes and gathers in the depths of our souls and we need to actively tend to it. If we don’t it can manifest as ailments within the body.

Sarah & Sam have over 27 years experience working professionally with grief in their roles as Counselling and Art Psychotherapists and have used their expertise to design this special day to help you meet your grief compassionately and gently.

This very special workshop combines Psychotherapeutic skills and knowledge alongside somatic based practices including Flow Dance Meditation, shamanic drumming, breathwork and Reiki.

By the end of the day you will have learned more about grief, ways in which it can impact the body and how to meet, connect with and express your emotions effectively.

You do not need to have any previous experience with any of the modalities on offer in order to benefit. We welcome people at all stages on their journey.
