Become a grief tending facilitator and join our soulful community of tender, skilful and visionary leaders
About
The Grief Space is reimagining and remembering the lost art of grief tending, where we create space for grief to be deeply acknowledged, witnessed and welcomed – both individually and collectively.
For the past eight years we have been sharing grief tending rituals, retreats and workshops both locally here in south-west England and internationally. Nici and the team have supported over a thousand people to touch the medicine of grief work, alchemise their heartache and connect more deeply with themselves and each other.
We now offer a five month grief tending training, inspiring and guiding others to become torchbearers of grief work in their own community and lives. Together, we are shifting the narrative on grief to inspire healing and create the possibility for a different way of being with loss and longing.
In time, we see how grief brings us closer to the raw and vulnerable wonder of being alive. We emerge with the capacity to hold it all – love and loss, grief and gratitude, agony and awe. Join us.
The Art of Grief Tending
A 5-month grief tending training and mentoring programme centred around experiential ritual, embodied learning, and feminine leadership.
This is more than another course or programme, it really is something far deeper. You can feel the care and devotion stitched into every part of it. It’s an initiation. It’s an apprenticeship with life, with grief, with beauty. It’s alchemy. A tender, powerful unraveling and remembering. I was transformed.
– Charlotte Hueso, 2025 participant

When people share their grief with me,
I do not hear sorrow.
I hear truth
“To honor our grief, to grant it space and time in our frantic world, is to fulfill a covenant with soul – to welcome all that is, thereby granting room for our most authentic life.”
— Francis Weller
