Grief Tending Gathering for Men

Grief Tending Gathering for Men

Time: 9.30 AM to 7.00 PM

Some grief lives in the marrow. It does not respond to fixing or performance. It simply longs to be met.

In a world that often asks men to contain, control, or convert their grief into strength, this day offers a different rhythm. It is not about becoming something or proving anything. It is about being real.

This grief-tending gathering is not centred on masculinity, archetypes, or abstract teachings. Rather, it offers a rare, grounded space for men to simply grieve- guided by the teachings of Francis Weller and Malidoma Some. 

No maps, no masks. Just the slow work of turning toward what hurts, in good company. Together, we will honour what has been lost, what aches to be remembered, and what longs to be spoken aloud in the presence of others.

Facilitators:

Jeremy Thres

Jeremy is a grief-tender, facilitator, and one of the lead teachers of the Grief Apprenticeship Training in Dartmoor, where he teaches alongside Sophy Banks. His depth of presence and quiet integrity create a field of trust and healing.
