The Grief Spring: A Grief Tending Circle in Bristol

🌙 The Grief Spring: A Grief Tending Circle in Bristol

A gentle space to tend what's been lost

These grief circles are gentle, heart-led spaces where we come together to honour the parts of us that carry sorrow, love, and longing. Whether you’re grieving a person, a place, a relationship, a version of yourself—or something less easy to name—you don’t have to carry it alone.

This isn’t group therapy or a place to “fix” anything. It’s a space to be with grief in whatever form it shows up. We listen. We witness. We hold each other through the silence and the tears and sometimes even the laughter. There’s no pressure to speak or share—just to come as you are.

All Kinds of Grief Are Welcome
The loss of a loved one, a place, a part of yourself, or a life transition. If you have had a significant loss within the last 6 months, please carefully consider whether the time is right to join these circles - this timing is unique to you and your experiences. If you are unsure, please contact me and we can talk about this together. 

✨ What to Expect

• A softly held space with gentle guidance
• Opening grounding meditation or ritual
• Space to share (or just listen)
• Simple practices for tending to grief (breath, writing, movement or stillness)
• A closing ritual to return you home to yourself

You don’t need to bring anything except yourself, your truth, and your tenderness. Feel free to bring a journal, something to lie on or snuggle into, and a little item that feels meaningful—if that feels good.

✨ Booking

The circle will be small, around 8 or 9 of us gathering together for an hour and a half. 

If you are unsure whether this is right for you and would like to talk more about this, please contact me alexamayadavis@proton.me or 07525714894.

✨ What to bring 

• Yoga mat or cushion to sit on
• Blanket/ shawl and water bottle
• Optional: a piece of nature for the centre of the circle (leaf, feather, flower, shell, stone…)

✨ Location 

St Annes Church Hall, St Leonards Road, Eastville, Bristol, BS5 6JN 

Walk around the left hand side of the main entrance to the church, the hall is just behind. 

✨ A little about me

I'm Lexi, a mental health professional, yoga teacher, grief tender, nature lover, dancer and someone who has lived through deep loss. I believe grief is sacred. I believe in the healing that happens when we gather. And I believe we need more spaces that allow us to really feel and connect within.
