The Mindful Circle

Each circle will look a little different, with a new focus each time. From mindful art, scrapbooking, journalling prompts, and guided meditation to sound healing, affirmations, aromatherapy, ambient lights, and more.

Join us in June for a gentle Mindful Journaling Circle focused on holding and easing the grief we carry.

When we lose a baby or child, there is a deep, often unspoken sorrow that lives in our hearts. Thoughts, feelings, and emotions can feel too heavy or too complicated to share, and because not everyone understands this kind of grief, we can feel isolated and alone.

Through a guided journaling practice, you will be invited to write a letter to your loved one, a way to express your love, sorrow, questions, or anything that needs to be said. There is no expectation to share what you write; this is for you alone.

Following the journaling, we will move into a guided meditation infused with healing nature sounds, offering a gentle opportunity to connect with your loved one and hold your grief with compassion.

• Pen & paper provided

• Mats, pillows & eye masks provided

• Please bring a water bottle and a light blanket for comfort

• You’re warmly invited to enjoy a coffee and gentle connection together after the session at Café Vita El Flores

This gathering is made even more special through the beautiful connection and shared care between SMCT and Red NoseExternal site, two organisations deeply committed to supporting families through loss, remembrance, and healing. Together, this collaboration helps create spaces where grief can be acknowledged gently and held with compassion.

After the meditation, you’re invited to enjoy a coffee and gentle connection together at Café Vita Et Flores.

Facilitated by me, Fotini, with many years of experience in mindfulness and healing.

This is a gentle space for reflection, connection, and peace.
Come as you are, and leave feeling a little lighter.

Whether your loss is recent or many years ago, you are so welcome here. This space is open to all families who have experienced the loss of a baby or child — whether you are a parent, sibling, grandparent, extended family member, or a friend walking alongside someone you love.
