We don’t need a big Plan B, C or D; we don’t need any plans at all. All we need is the courage to make small changes, the time to notice the positive differences and the acceptance that moving forwards can also include stopping points, roundabouts and u-turns. It doesn’t matter how we get to the final destination, or how long it takes. We just need to love ourselves at each point and celebrate each milestone.
How have you moved forwards?
Moving forward is not easy, it takes work and intention to realise that you need to move forward from your grief in order to live a happy life. Adding self-care into your life can be a way of moving forward gently. In the meditation, Bindi Shah will guide you to explore what aspects of self-care you would like to bring into your everyday. Gentle things which can be done, with ease, and will bring you a little joy and care.

‘Hello You’ is a simple movement session, led by Victoria Robinson supporting you to connect a little bit more with your own body, noticing how your body responds as you bring your attention to your own self. Anyone can join in, whatever your mobility level, whatever your relationship with your body, whatever your energy level, whether you have an injury or not. As your movements, your way of noticing your body is unique, there is no right or wrong way to do this – it’s just your way.
YES! FACT! Using creativity and the healing arts help process:- feelings, goodbyes and even support bringing in new hellos - all with kindness and much gentleness. In the webinar Helen Segal will be talking and facilitating a workshop on how to start turning toward using the healing arts and how to move forward from loss and grief. This workshop is for the beginner, for those of you who know the healing arts intimately and all of those in-between.
Acceptance is an awkward word because we don’t want to accept we will not be a parent or that our life is not how we dreamt. Perhaps we can twist it to mean accepting our emotions may continue to be triggered but on less occassions with less intensity. Accepting our heart will have always have a space where our children live but don’t exist. In this webinar Stephanie Joy Phillips, Victoria Firth, Kat Brown, Lana Walker and Lucy North will talk about how being childless is part of who we are, but not the whole of us. Our childlessness is something to live with but to not be ruled by.
