Grief Cafe

A creative grief café is a relaxed, welcoming space where people come together to explore loss and grief through creative activities.

It combines an open, social feel with hands-on, expressive activities that help people process and express grief in personal, symbolic, and imaginative ways.

Here’s what typically defines a creative grief café:

• It’s a social space that normalises talking about grief while making, creating, or reflecting together.

• Participants don’t have to “talk about their feelings” directly — instead, they express them through art, writing, ritual, or craft.

• Open to anyone experiencing loss — not just bereavement, but also change, ageing, health loss, or ecological grief.
