Grief is often pushed to the side in our busy lives, leaving people feeling alone during some of their hardest moments. Gathering for Grief aims to change that by bringing community back into the centre of how we respond to loss.
The event will feature:
• Interactive experiences – music, performance and art-making
• Shared meals & meaningful conversations
• A welcoming, inclusive atmosphere open to everyone
• Opportunities to learn practical tools for supporting others
While this is not a therapeutic program, we are working alongside health and community organisations specialising in grief and loss. These partners will be present as event guides, offering helpful resources and pathways for ongoing support.
We warmly invite community members, families, workers and organisations to take part in this important movement.
Together, we can open up conversations about grief, reduce isolation, and build stronger, healthier communities. 🧡
All are welcome, come as you are.
