The Gathering Gates is a coalition of individuals, groups and organisations focused on cultural renewal and inner transformation.
Our mission is to foster collaborations and create communal spaces where together we can face the challenges of our times – turning crisis into opportunity, and taking bold and imaginative steps towards a more just and beautiful world.
Our most established projects are Norfolk Grief Tending: Transforming Pain, Restoring Community (www.norfolkgrief.com) and Somatic Health: Healing Connections to Body and Mind (www.somatichealth.org).
We are exploring how we can renew community and contribute to a regenerative society by drawing on collective wisdom, both ancient and new, and by re-aligning our human nature with the cycles of the natural world.
Our hope is that, by coming together in this way, we will be better able to contribute creatively to the rapid adaptation that we (and many others) believe is being called for in these times.
Norfolk Grief Tending
Norfolk Grief Tending is a non-profit community organisation that helps adults who are struggling with grief to find hope, healing and peace.
Our workshops, retreats and group journeys offer a safe place where pain and loss can be witnessed, held and transformed. We welcome grief about life changes, bereavement and childhood losses, as well as ancestral, ecological and collective grief.
Events are held by experienced facilitators, using tried and tested, trauma-informed practices. They are available on a gift basis which means there’s no financial barrier to participation. We also provide training for grief tending peer groups, and to help everyone become more grief literate.
Grief tending isn’t just personal – it’s cultural. By honouring our sorrows in community, we foster compassion, connection and resilience. This approach has the power not only to heal individuals but to help restore the fabric of our culture and renew our shared sense of belonging.
