The Architectures of Grief

The Architecture of Grief is an interactive, thought-provoking session exploring how grief shows up in our lives and cultures.

What if grief isn't something to fix or overcome? What if the pain you feel is medicine for the heart? What if grief can restore community and reconnect us with the natural world?

Norfolk Grief Tending is a non-profit supporting adults struggling with grief. We've learned that by embracing grief—rather than avoiding it—and working with trauma-informed practices, people can find not just healing and hope, but also joy, connection and peace.

In this creative conversation, we’ll explore many forms of loss: bereavement, life changes, childhood and ancestral wounds, ecological and collective grief.

Walking through these ‘gates of grief’ together often leads us to a shared ‘hall of grief’—a place of compassion and solidarity, where personal pain is seen as part of a larger human experience.

Norfolk Grief Tending is part of The Gathering Gates (www.thegates.uk), a coalition of people and projects responding to collapse and change, while tending to the possibilities now emerging.
