Loving the Gone:
online memory circle
A witness circle and memorial gathering to honour your beloved soul pet.
Join us for this 90-minute online gathering where we’ll hold space for pet grief, share stories of our beloved animal companions and craft memorial alters together - a tangible forever shrine to keep their spirits close to home.
We’ll move between making and sharing, between private creation and collective witnessing. All expressions are welcome.
“Every tear is a tribute. Every ache is an echo of connection. We grieve because we dared to love, and because we are still loving - even in absence. Grief in this way becomes a quiet hymn of devotion. It keeps the bond alive.
It reminds us that what we shared mattered.”
~ Francis Weller
Your grief has a place here
We gather to remember and honour our beloved animals. They have walked beside us for their lifetime. offering companionship, guidance, support and love like no other. The bond we share with them is sacred, woven from threads of trust and devotion that transcend this life time. Even in death, our love for them endures, an unbreakable thread connecting us always.
This gathering recognises that our relationship is profound, life-changing and worthy of ritual and remembrance. Their love, their life and their passing opens new passages in us. We meet to remember in space that needs no validation.

She offers intentional environments where grief can be deeply acknowledged, witnessed, and welcomed.
As fur mum to Sapphi, Pickle, and her forever-cherished sky dog, Paddington, Kate has experienced first-hand the profound joys and depths of heartbreak that come with loving deeply. She understands the tender intricacies of the human-animal bond with the soul-deep resonance only a fellow guardian can. Guided by this lived experience and a commitment to trauma-informed, human-centric facilitation, she integrates breath, gentle embodiment and heart-led ceremony to create a sanctuary for others to honour their pets, the sacredness of their own unique grief, and to traverse the landscape of loss within kindred community.
