“Grief is an initiation, an apprenticeship in what it means to be human. It shapes our capacity for compassion and loving-kindness.” – Francis Weller
About Us
We welcome you to a space where you can feel safe, cared for, supported and truly seen.
Grief-Tending Gatherings
Grief in our society is often relegated to the shadows, a result of what Francis Weller describes as a state of “profound amnesia and anaesthesia.”
What is Shining Darkness?
The compassionate grounds where people can tend to their broken hearts in a communal space and experience spaciousness.
The alchemical space for individuals and teams to renew themselves and feel resilient.
The name reflects our wish and our belief that in tending to our grief or in facing our fear, we illuminate the darker and difficult aspects of our being, bringing them into the light of healing and understanding. Trust is the bedrock on which the change takes place.
