“We were inspired to call the circle the Starling Grief Tending Circle based on a talk by  Dr Zach Bush. He was sharing about the phenomenon of murmurations: the stunning aerial displays of thousands of starlings flocking and flying together, creating ever more intricate and beautiful patterns. By coming together in tending grief and loss with our lineages, stories, resources and diversity, our impact on our communities can create a humanitarian murmuration for change that we could not achieve individually. By following nature’s inherently communal blueprint, we ensure we care for each other.”

With the generous support of Reach and Connect and Hornsey Vale Community Centre.
