Support Groups
Grief Support Group & Shamanic Grief Ritual Group
Grief can be isolating, exhausting and hard to carry alone. Some people long for a confidential space where they can speak openly and be understood. Others feel drawn to explore the spiritual, symbolic or meaning-making aspects of their grief.
I offer small, supportive online groups at selected times during the year. If you’d like to be notified when the next group opens, please email me to register your interest.
Bereavement Support Group
We feel better when we talk about our grief and loss with others who are grieving.
We feel less overwhelmed. We feel less isolated.
We begin to feel hopeful instead of feeling hopeless.
Meeting with other grieving people helps us to understand grief better. We learn how to live with it constructively. We support and encourage one another.
SHAMANIC GRIEF RITUAL GROUP
Grief is a profound journey that touches every aspect of our being—body, mind, heart, and spirit. It can feel overwhelming, isolating, and at times, all-encompassing. In many cultures, grief has been held within the framework of rituals—sacred, intentional acts that honour loss, support healing, and reconnect us with life.
A Shamanic Grief Ritual Group offers a unique and transformative space to work with grief in a deeply spiritual and communal way.
WHAT IS A SHAMANIC GRIEF RITUAL GROUP?
A Shamanic Grief Ritual Group provides a sacred, supportive environment where participants can engage in shamanic rituals rooted in ancient spiritual traditions. These rituals are designed to honour grief, create space for emotional healing, and offer tools to navigate the complex emotional and spiritual challenges of loss.
The group integrates sacred ceremony, connection with nature, and guided Shamanic practices to help participants release burdens and rediscover balance and wholeness.
- Sacred Space: Each session begins with the creation of a sacred space where participants can connect with Spirit and explore their emotions freely.
- Guided Shamanic Rituals: Participants engage in transformative Shamanic practices, such as drumming, journeying, and offering rituals, to honour their grief and open pathways to healing.
- Community Support: Sharing grief in a group setting fosters a sense of connection and understanding. Together, we create a compassionate community that holds space for every participant’s unique experience.
- Reflection and Integration:Each session includes time for reflection and sharing, ensuring participants can integrate their experiences into their daily lives.
WHO IS THE GROUP FOR?
This group is open to anyone experiencing grief—whether it stems from the loss of a loved one, a significant life change, or unresolved sorrow.
No prior experience with Shamanism is necessary. All that’s required is an open heart and a willingness to honour your own healing journey.
WHY CHOOSE SHAMANIC RITUALS FOR GRIEF HEALING?
Shamanic rituals can be transformative practices that address the physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of grief.
They provide a structured way to release pain, connect with the enduring threads of life and love, and find guidance in the natural and spiritual realms.
These rituals remind us that we are never alone; we are supported by Mother Earth, Spirit, and the collective strength of the community.
BENEFITS OF JOINING A SHAMANIC GRIEF RITUAL GROUP:
- A deeper connection to Spirit and the natural world
- Tools to process and heal emotional pain
- A compassionate community familiar with grief
- Opportunities to honour your loss through meaningful, healing rituals
