Held on Dharug & Gundungurra County \\ Blue Mountains, NSW
Creative Community Workshops: where you & your Grief are invited
Grief In Motion is a series of creative workshops where we gather in community to be with, listen to, express and honour grief in all its forms.
These workshops are not about fixing or rushing grief - it’s more an invitation to sit alongside it, to give it form, to let it speak - and to share this experience in safe company. Skilfully held by local creative practitioners and trauma-informed grief workers, these workshops are gentle and spacious. You don’t need any artistic experience, only a willingness to come as you are, with your grief as the guest of honour.
Upcoming workshops
We all carry grief in different ways. Some days it feels heavy, other days far away. Sometimes we need words, sometimes we need silence. Each Grief In Motion workshop offers a different doorway in: through music, writing, weaving, speaking, stitching, sculpting, baking - together, we discover how creativity can hold, soften, transform and befriend our grief.
Writing from Grief
with Samantha Lee Curran and Amy Firth
Grief has many voices. Some whisper, some rage, some fall silent. In this workshop, we’ll use guided journaling and creative writing as gentle tools to listen, shape and give language to the grief we carry. Poetry and prompts will help open the way, with space to write privately and, if you wish, to share in safe company.

Serenading Grief
with Amy Firth
Grief has its own soundtrack - songs and poems that hold us when words alone cannot. Serenading Grief is an evening of shared listening, where we gather to offer the music and poems that accompany our loss. You don’t need to perform or explain - just bring a song, poem, or passage that carries your grief or your story. We’ll listen in community, honouring the ways that art continues to help us hold memory, love and loss.
