Remembering the Way

With Death Doula Alexandra Derwen and apprentice Death Doula Tanya Bryan

November 3 – November 6 2022

The premise of the “community of grief” is that Grief itself is a force for community cohesion and repair, whatever our personal stories of loss, it is in the shared circle space that the potential for alchemy and amplification of the healing process takes place. If you feel moved and called to this work then you belong here. We do ask that people come with open hearts ready to participate with curiosity and courage, but most importantly just bring your broken human selves and the circle itself will hold you.

The pathways of return have become overgrown by tangled briars after centuries of the Ways being forgotten. The outward paths seem clear. The paths of individuation and self realisation stand stark but we grew up initiated only by the Void and when we turned around we could no longer see the way Home. We are exiles. The pathways of return are yearning to be remembered – they are the pathways of the ancient stories, the tales of elders, the spirit of community. They are the pathways of connection through shared catharsis and celebration. Connection not only to our human community but to the longing voices of Land, Place and Space. The threads are bare but ready, let us weave together those pathways, within us first – then together where grief, mourning and embodied lament unclothe us of our heavy armour and re-clothe us in fine silks of freedom.

Tanya and Alexandra bring their friendship, balance, shared passion for sounding and lament, griefwork and earth-based practice together.
