In this brief video, the speaker announces two upcoming grief‑support events in the United Kingdom for women who have lost their mothers. The first is a four‑day retreat in Oxfordshire from September 5‑8, with registration closing on August 20. The second is a one‑day workshop in London on Monday, September 9, co‑facilitated with therapist Shelley Gilbert, founder of the bereavement charity Grief Encounter. The speaker emphasizes the gentle, supportive nature of the gatherings, notes that participants often describe the experience as life‑changing, and urges viewers to sign up promptly.

Hi everyone, I wanted to tell you a little bit about the UK events that are coming up. The retreat is 4 days in Oxfordshire and there's only a couple of days left to sign up. Registration closes on August 20th and we really, really hope you can join us. I know it can feel intimidating to sign up to sit in a group of women that you don't know and talk about something that had such a deep and profound effect on you. But I promise, promise, promise it will be a good experience. In fact, women tend to call it life-changing. So we really hope you'll join us if you've been thinking about it. I'll be in Oxford September 5th to 8th, and we will hold you very gently. If you can't make that retreat and/or can't take 4 days off, we've got a 1-day workshop in London On Monday, September 9th. I'll be co-facilitating it with Shelley Gilbert. She's a therapist and the founder of Grief Encounter, which is a large bereavement charity in the UK. And we'll be there with you all day, walking you through discussions and activities and talking about our moms to bring her back into the present as a presence. So I hope to see you at either event. And if you'd like to come to the retreat, again, please sign up soon because registration is closing on August 20th. See you.
