Grief Tending
Grief Tending
Organised by Grief Tending in Scotland
Saturday 10th May, 10-12.30pm
Salisbury Centre Garden, 2 Salisbury road Edinburgh EH16 5AB
This activity is open to the public and made possible by donations that pay forward.
For this morning session we’ll be in the garden; around the fire for check-ins. We’ll give our presence and attention to any and all layers of grief that arise in the day. To help us frame our scope, we’ll use the ‘Five Gates of Grief’ that Francis Weller describes in his book ‘The Wild Edge of Sorrow’ - Francis Weller on Grief (2013) You don’t need to have read the book to take part.
What to bring:
- Suitable clothing for being outside for two & half hours during the morning
- An object or picture that for you has connection with grief
Facilitated by Douglas Guest (experienced men’s group and grief tending leader), Maeve Butler (educator and grief worker), and Robin Botley (facilitator and Elder with the Mankind Project).
