Nela Geuer on Embracing Grief: Support Circle
A thought through, gentle, well organised and compassionately held gathering which was facilitated in the right pace. Thank you to all involved.
Thank you very much for yesterday. I appreciated the smaller size of our gathering. I also loved the gentle pace and easing into the river frm the banks. I appreciated the flow between you, Sarah and Tony. For me, you fostered a deep sense of holding, safety , invitation and inclusivity. I found our times in the breakout rooms useful helping to foster a sense of connection with other participants and also go a little deeper into the essence of what was moving. I appreciated your clarity, calm, compassion and experience as space-holders/facilitators. One suggestion: I would have welcomed more time with/in the Gates of Grief section: I found I wanted to hear about each of the Gates and then have some time journal/draw however the invitation seemed to be to journal/draw as the Gates were being shared. It may have been a time-pressure thing. My grief has been very present today, and it's welcome after such tender holding. This for me is an illustration that our gathering was very effective in stirring and inviting re-membering. Thank you both. Wishing you very well. With love, Sarah
A well held space for queer grief. I felt safe, seen and heard. Recommend to anyone seeking community.
beautifully held ritual space to go into grief and feel resourced afterwards
As someone who holds space for others, I was really pleased at how well Sarah, Bilal and Tony held this space. Grief is scary and needs gentle coaxing (for me) to move out. I felt really safe and was able to let it move, and I feel so much LIGHTER after the event. And grateful to spend a day with other wonderful souls feeling the same things I'm feeling.
A wonderful warm, welcoming and accepting environment to be with all and any grief. I hope to return on a regular basis.
A very powerful and wonderfully held day - thank you so much.
