Although grief is a natural reaction to any loss or potential loss, it is often difficult to talk about as it can feel lonely. These walks are opportunities to pause, reflect and share, and to bring the complicated feelings that we often hide from others. During the walks, facilitators will lead the group firstly through the green spaces of Waterlow Park and then into Highgate Cemetery.
What can you expect?
The walks are based on the practice of Shinrin-yoku (Forest Bathing) and you will be encouraged to engage with the nature with all of your senses. We will support you to explore and think about grief in a different way through a series of ‘invitations’ or gentle activities. There will be regular opportunities to share, but never any pressure to; and all emotions are welcome. Grief is no single thing and neither are the emotions we experience through loss.
We end the walk in the famous Highgate Cemetery. A unique environment; it is a place of heritage, history, life, energy, and ecological hope, and supports this different kind of conversation on loss and grief.
