About our workshops
TGG workshops are the place we explore, express and have fun whilst navigating our grief as a community.
Our workshops are varied and hold an engaging variety of themes, topics and expert facilitators and guest speakers that will support, educate and invite you to think outside the box in each workshop.
We believe that grief conversations and spaces don’t have to be dull or like you’re being spoken at. Our workshops are interactive, playful and welcoming. Our members have been loving our workshops since our doors opened and they get better and better each month.
Read here our workshop house rules to provide you further information on how workshops run, structure and member etiquette.

Sex and grief 101 with Sara Rian
-
Members joined Amber and author, poet and sex therapist Sara Rian (LMSW-C, LMFT, CST) for a workshop on grief and sex.
Our relationship with sex, pleasure and intimacy can be hugely effected when going through a bereavement and living with grief. Whether you’re partnered up or single, this workshop is for all!
Some of us are carrying so much when it comes to this topic and remit of our lives and grief. Struggling with where to go and who to talk to about it in a way that feels safe, educational and empowering. This is a workshop for all loss experiences. We’re leaving any shame or embarrassment at the door! We’re not afraid to have the tough, taboo, icky conversations in this community and we really hope you’ll join us- whether it’s just to listen or share about your experience with The Grief Gang community and Sara.

curating grief with charlene lam
-
What if we are all curators after a loved one dies?Members joined Amber Jeffrey and Charlene Lam from The Grief Gallery for an interactive gathering introducing the Curating Grief® approach, a creative way to engage with grief and remember our people through meaningful objects and stories.
Led by curator and grief coach Charlene Lam, this session offers a gentle introduction to how the lens of curating can help grievers make sense of what remains: not just physical belongings, but memories, meanings, and ongoing connections.
Together, we’ll:
- Make space for grief
- Explore why tangible objects can be such powerful companions in grief
- Experience a simple, reflective practice using one meaningful object
- Share stories (optionally) in a supportive, community-centered space
You’re warmly invited to bring:
- A meaningful object you’ve kept after a loved one died, or
- The story of an item that reminds you of them
rest essentials with tanya wilkinson
-
Being well rested and resourced is no mean feat in today’s fast paced, action packed, noisy, always on culture. Where our days can be filled with wall to wall to do’s, noise and screens. Hyper stimulating us from waking to sleep.
This is magnified for those of us who are grieving. Because the full body experience of grief activates our nervous system, keeping us in a state of heightened alert - and often disrupting our precious sleep.
Our shared intention for Rest Essentials is to understand how we can each fill our cup up. Guiding you through the 7 types of rest as identified by Dr Saundra Dalton-Smith. You will see that there is more to rest than just sleep. Plus how micro rest practices that can fit into any busy schedule can be your secret weapon to feeling more rested and resourced.
Led by Tanya Wilkinson, who is a Grief & Life Transitions Coach and host of “Death on the Daily” podcast Tanya Wilkinson. This workshop is based on the toolkit of rest practices that she created whilst travelling the world and working at race car speed in her last corporate role as a global Head of Marketing for Formula 1. Plus that which have held and supported her on her grief journey losing her daughter, grandad, and 2 grandmothers in 3 years.

grief, trauma and the body with meghan riordan jarvis
-
Members joined Amber and Meghan Riordan Jarvis for our first workshop on grief, trauma and the body.
Our bodies often carry what words can’t. In this workshop, we’ll begin to explore how grief and trauma live within us and not just in our minds, but in the ways we move, breathe, and feel. Together, we’ll take time to listen to the body’s signals, share what feels true for us, and learn small, grounding ways to support ourselves through what we hold. This space isn’t about fixing or analysing it’s about awareness, compassion, and care.
the new year reset with sally douglas
-
Members joined Amber Jeffrey (Founder) and Sally Douglas (who you may know from her work from Good Mourning) for an online transformational breathwork session designed to help you reset for 2026, let go of whatever isn’t serving you, regulate your nervous system and welcome in new possibilities.
Using conscious, science-backed breathing techniques, this session gently helps the body shift out of fight, flight or freeze and into a more regulated state. You’ll be guided by Sally in a safe, supportive space where choice, consent and self-pacing are prioritised throughout.
This experience is suitable for beginners and anyone feeling overwhelmed, carrying grief, navigating stress or simply craving a reset from the busyness of everyday life. Expect grounding practices, guided breathwork, time for rest and integration, and a gentle close. Many people leave feeling calmer, clearer and more connected, with less tension held in the body and a greater sense of emotional ease.

finding words for grief with sara rian
-
Members joined Amber and author, poet, Sara Rian for a workshop on grief, poetry and how literature can speak to our grief.
Sometimes when our own words fail us, it’s through the words of others that can help us. We’ve all perhaps had moments of reading a book, a poem, a random etching of words on a wall that speak deeply to us in that moment. These moments can be quite pivotal, transformational.
This workshop is an opportunity to gather, share the poetry, literature, words that mean and speak the most to us and our grief. Whether it’s our own words or others! Come along and listen or to share.
