At St Peter's, we recognise that joining a group can feel like a significant step when you are grieving. We want to make that step as gentle and supportive as possible.
The Psychological Therapies Team at St Peter's is pleased to be offering nature based drop in groups. These are part of our bereavement support for people experiencing loss of a loved one who died from an incurable illness.
Spending time in nature can help reduce stress, invite quiet reflection, and provide a safe space to hold the large and complex feelings that often accompany grief.
These outdoor sessions offer a calm, welcoming environment for anyone who may find comfort in nature connection while navigating loss.
What the sessions offer:
Lightly guided nature based practices
Opportunities for grounding and quiet reflection and sharing
Optional supportive conversation with a therapist and trained volunteers
A relaxed, informal group with no booking required
