A date for the diary - 11th November 10am - 12pm - Grief Cafe with Katy from Dead Good Legacies 🧡

creative grief café is a relaxed, welcoming space where people come together to explore loss and grief through creative activities.

It combines an open, social feel with hands-on, expressive activities that help people process and express grief in personal, symbolic, and imaginative ways.

Here’s what typically defines a creative grief café:

It’s a social space that normalises talking about grief while making, creating, or reflecting together.

Participants don’t have to “talk about their feelings” directly — instead, they express them through art, writing, ritual, or craft.

Open to anyone experiencing loss — not just bereavement, but also change, ageing, health loss, or ecological grief.

The creative process becomes a gentle way to witness each other’s experiences of grief without judgment.

Refreshments included.

FREE to attend. No booking required. Just show up on the morning, and stay as long as you wish while the session runs. Funded by LNER.

We hope to see your there.

Held at Eden Community Hub ☕️

We love supporting local artists at and we are over the moon to be showcasing this piece by who uses abstract art to express emotions. Each piece of her work tells a story and I absolutely LOVE what she creates 😍

Head over to Emma's page to see more of what she does, and don't forget to take a look next time you're in for a session in room 2 💜

✨ Power of 3:
Energy and Release ✨

Tonight was pure medicine.
We opened with heart-warming cacao, breathed life back into tired bodies, and let the rhythm guide us into release.

Through somatic movement, drumming, shaking, laughter, stillness and closing meditation, we created a space where it was safe to soften… and safe to let go.

There were moments of fire.
Moments of quiet.
Moments where you could feel the energy shift in the room.

To everyone who showed up with an open heart, thank you. Your presence made the ritual what it was.

May whatever you released stay released. May whatever you called in root deeply.
Until we gather again. ✨✨✨
