Grief can arise when we lose someone we love, but also when we lose a part of ourselves — a role, a future we imagined, or a way of being that once felt certain. These kinds of losses may not always be visible or acknowledged, but they are deeply felt. Many people struggle to know how to make sense of their grief or find a way to live alongside it. This two-hour workshop, led by mindfulness teacher and psychotherapist Julia Lofts, offers a gentle and supportive space to explore your experience of loss. Through guided mindfulness practices, reflection, and shared learning, you’ll be invited to meet your grief with more presence, compassion, and self-understanding.
