Tending inner tides: monthly grief circle (April)

TENDING INNER TIDES: MONTHLY GRIEF CIRCLE

A twice monthly/ monthly circle to gather in grief together. To tend to our inner tides and the waves of our being.

As if pouring a little water out each time we gather, to create a little space and to be reminded we don't have to walk this path alone.

There is no right or wrong way to be with grief. Grief, like water, rises and falls, sometimes still, sometimes wild, sometimes far away, sometimes so close.

You are welcome, come as you are, be with what wants to be felt, witnessed, and remembered. You may choose to be in silence or to share a little, as we explore ways of being with grief together, guided by the seasons, cycles and rhythms of nature.

This is not a therapy space, or a space to fix or give advice. This is a space to simply be with our grief together.

All kinds of grief are welcome — loss of a loved one, a place, a relationship, a part of yourself, or a life transition.

If you have had a significant loss within the last 6 months, please carefully consider whether the time is right to join these circles - this timing is unique to you and your experience. If you are unsure, please contact me and we can talk about this together - https://calendly.com/alexamayadavis/discovery-call

✨ ** CIRCLE FLOW**

• A softly held space with gentle guidance
• Opening grounding practice
• Space to share what is feeling present within you. Be witnessed & witness others. The invitation is to share _ less _ about the story and specific details of the loss, and _ more _ about _ **your present expereince of grief, how this feels, the emotions and feelings moving within you and what you are noticing through this expereince. ** _
• Exploring ways to be with grief together.
• Time to close the circle gently, and an opportunity for tea & chocolate before returning home.

The circle will be small, around 9 of us gathering together for up to 2 hours.

✨ ** CIRCLE GUIDE**

Alexa is a Soul Midwife, guiding people through grief and life’s thresholds. She holds a deep connection to nature, the ocean, and horses. After her mother died in her early twenties, grief cracked her open, awakening her to alternative healing and guiding her on a path of discovery and quiet soul remembering.

Her journey has woven together embodied practice and compassionate service. She trained as a yoga teacher with Yoga Like Water, a practice that continues to shape her work — meeting life, grief, and the body with softness and fluidity. She later worked in the NHS as a Registered Mental Health Nurse before returning in 2025 to West Penwith to live near the ocean and her horse.

A decade after her mother’s death, she has been drawn to supporting others through their grief, studying a year-long immersion in grief tending and death doula work.

Alexa offers regular grief circles, one-to-one mentoring and is a volunteer facilitator for Cruse Bereavement Charity.

These grief circles are the spaces she wished she had after her mother died.
