Join us for an evening of healing, remembrance, and connection—outdoors in the beauty of the garden. 🌳 Children and teens will create meaningful art projects in honor of loved ones, while adults gather in a supportive group to share stories and find comfort in community.

All families with children ages 5–18 are welcome. We’ll even have pizza to keep everyone fueled. 🍕💛

'The Good Grief project was grounded in the understanding that creativity can be a gentle, intuitive tool for emotional processing—not something that requires prior skill or artistic talent. The emphasis was not on mastering a medium, but on using creative practice as a way to shift perspective and engage with grief in new, accessible ways.' - NEW Case Study: https://www.artsandhealth.ie/case-studies/good-grief/
