This course offers a safe environment for the exploration of feelings around loss of all kinds, including bereavement, separation and the loss (or threatened loss) of our own life or capabilities. The exploration cannot take away emotional pain or the reality of our own mortality, but it may offer us different perspectives and ways to handle such experiences.

If you are in the early stages of coming to terms with a loss, the course may not be appropriate at this time. You will need to feel able both to explore feelings and to understand your own processes.

Please contact us if you wish to discuss suitability. If you are thinking of attending as a couple, there are advantages and disadvantages of doing so. You are welcome to discuss these with us too.

Hugh McMichael has had an interest in 'loss' since facing his own death aged 17. He spent 10 years in hospice work. He was consultant senior lecturer at the University of Bristol where he developed this work for health care professionals, but noted the personal impact of the courses. He now offers a version to all who are interested.

Numbers limited. Early booking recommended.
