Hosting Tears
The art of grieving together – in times of change, farewell, and loss
A grief community for three days and nights.
In a world that elevates happiness as the ideal, there often seems to be little room for grief.
And yet it is there – in fine cracks, in unspoken pain, in transitions and unlived dreams.
Grief touches more than death.
It appears with the loss of a person, a friendship, a job, a life phase – or with the realisation that something could never come to be.
It also arises in the face of illness, crises, or pain about the state of the world.
What we need is a place where grief is allowed to exist.
A space that does not ask whether it is justified – but listens, holds, and remembers:
Grief is a capacity.
Not an illness.
Not a failure.
Space & community
For people who have lost something – or are separating from something that once provided stability.
For those who sense that something within them is asking for expression.
For everyone who wants to understand what their grief is saying – and how it can support life rather than paralyse it.
Within a protected, communal setting, a delicate weave of ritual, movement, music, symbol, and shared expression unfolds.
Feelings such as sadness, anger, shame, despair – as well as joy, gratitude, and longing – are welcome to take form.
The work draws on old European traditions of mourning and lament, as well as on the approach of MyroAgogics developed by Jorgos Canacakis, which connects Greek traditions with modern psychology.
A carefully prepared and well-held process – including an opening attunement, three intensive days, and a shared online follow-up conversation for integration.
