About this event:

A 2 hour workshop offering you the space to explore and welcome your personal response to grief and loss in a special space. The workshop includes a brief introduction to the landscape of grief, and a series of exercises to inspire thoughtful reflection, personal creative responses, symbolic ritual and group solidarity. Everything is optional, and participants are welcome to take care of their own needs in the space. No skill or previous experience is necessary.

Is This For Me?

Would you like to spend time in Crossbones’ Garden of Remembrance engaging in creative reflection? Have you ever experienced not belonging, or the grief that comes with loss or change? Perhaps you wish to honour someone or something, past, present or future. Or just spend time with others in this special place. If any or all of these ring true, this event would love to welcome you.

Tickets - available from here

Tickets are free, donations to Crossbones will be collected on the day

Information for participants:

We will be working outdoors, so please bring appropriate clothing. There are some chairs, but we recommend bringing something for comfort if you choose to sit on the ground. We will suggest moving around the garden, but this could be minimal. Please note there are uneven surfaces. Art materials will be included. You are welcome to bring drinks and snacks.

Crossbones itself is wheelchair accessible but unfortunately there are certain areas of the site that are not. Please let us know if you have any accessibility requirements that we can help you with.
