Our upcoming community events
Grief can be incredibly isolating. It can cause us to turn away from the things we once found joyful - nature, creating, and socialising with others. Whilst we can never take away people's pain, we can do our bit to create spaces and opportunities for quiet relief and moments of peace.
We host regular events with our community - an opportunity to gather and spend time in nature at our beautiful natural burial grounds. From book readings by grief authors to talks by sustainability experts, craft workshops, and gentle reflective walks; our events are designed to create space for grief, connection, life and remembrance to coexist.
Everyone is welcome at our community events, whether or not they have visited Tithe Green before. To stay up to date with new events, follow us on Eventbrite, sign up to our newsletter, or join our Facebook Community Group for early ticket access.
We always aim to keep our events free or ticket prices low enough to cover the cost of hosting - we never seek to make a profit from our events.
Tithe Green in conversation with Lizzie Pickering
Back in February, we partnered with the wonderful Lizzie Pickering as a way of sharing her snippets of wisdom with our community. We continue to be moved by her honest and deeply empathetic exploration of grief, and how we might live side by side with it.
Lizzie’s work is rooted in lived experience. Following the loss of her son, Harry, she spent 12 years at Helen & Douglas House children’s hospice, working closely with the bereavement team. Listening to the stories of bereaved families during this time continues to shape her grounded, humane approach.
Alongside her grief work, Lizzie has an established career in storytelling. She is Executive Producer on Four Letters of Love (2025) starring Pierce Brosnan and Helena Bonham Carter.
Lizzie is the author of When Grief Equals Love, an exploration of living with loss long-term, cumulative grief, and the myth of closure.
We are thrilled to have Lizzie join us in-person on Thursday 16th July at 6pm - 7pm for a gentle evening gathering exploring how we can continue our bond with someone who has died. Lizzie will draw on her personal and professional experience, exploring how things like nature, photographs, and writing can extend our relationship with someone who has died, even as it transforms beyond anything we ever imagined.
"Over the years, I have found that through extensive investigation of my grief, through excavating it and constantly processing it, I have found a comfortable place for it and I can say I live a happy life. I haven’t moved on, I haven’t found ‘closure’. I live with it, and balance happiness and grief side by side," writes Lizzie.
The gathering will be hosted in our dedicated space on site, The Keep, and, if the weather is nice, we might sit outside. Drinks will be provided. Please note there are no toilets on site. For more information about the event and to secure your place, click the button below.
