Transforming Death: A Journey Through Cathartic Release

During this time of the pandemic, we are collectively traversing through the territories of death, loss and grief in a way many of us never have done before. Many of us are experiencing loss first hand and all of us are feeling the collective grief and loss on a societal level. On top of it all, many of us are feeling isolated at home during our bereavement without a sense of closure, community or spiritual support. 

Join us for a transformative journey through the transformative challenges of death, loss and grief. During this online day retreat you will be guided through a variety of self care practices and techniques that help to navigate the many layers of grief and to help bring personal closure over a death or loss. Tree Carr and Kye Gambin will provide a safe space and guide the group focusing on transpersonal and compassionate approaches to bereavement through intention setting, meditations, rituals, plant work, breathwork and cathartic practises.

★ Purchase the event care package for £7 in the ticket section:  includes Cacao and Bobinsana to partake in the day retreat.
