Griefwalker is a national film board of Canada feature documentary filmed over 12 years by director Tim Wilson. Griefwalker shows Jenkinson in teaching sessions with doctors and nurses, in counselling sessions with dying people and their families, and meditative and often frank exchanges with the film's director while paddling a birchbark canoe about the origins and consequences of his ideas for how we live and die. A few of the themes appearing in the film: Where does our culture’s death phobia come from? Is there such a thing as good dying? How is it that grief could be a skill instead of an affliction? Who are the dead to us? How can seeing your life’s end be the beginning of your deep love of being alive?

  • Fortnightly Nonviolent Communication Practice Group Autumn/Winter 2019

    Southsea Portsmouth, Hampshire, United Kingdom

    This group meets every  other Tuesday evening, from 19.00 – 21.00 fortnightly in Southsea, Portsmouth. We normally meet for 8 sessions and then pause for a few weeks before starting again. We only take new people at the beginning of an 8-week run so that everyone can deepen their practice as they get to know one another. We often meet earlier than 19.00 to share a tea, and sometimes stay after to eat a bowl of soup together. I invite you to pay attention to connections, conflicts and interactions in your day to day wonderings through life and to bring those struggles with you so you can work on them… Perhaps you bring them as a gift, an offering to our shared attempts to learn ….With practice and courage we can use this time together to bear witness to the challenges and joys of being in relationship to life and the intention to meet each other in our humanity. Please contact me to ask for details of where we meet and to book your place. There is often a waiting list for this group so let me know as soon as possible if you want to join.
