1. You must be reasonably "together" and mature
2. You must be willing and open to learning
3. You must be over 18 years of age
4. You must yourself have experienced the loss of something or someone significant and this loss must be over 1 year ago
5. You must be ready to let go and move on and share this experience in a way that will help others
6. You must read Elizabeth Kubler Ross’s 7 Stages of Grief
7. You must be willing to commit to at least 3 weekends in the year in order to pass on your understanding to others.
8. For the weekends we will stay in teepees and caravans at The Hollybush. Everyone will have a private space to work and sleep as well as a gathering space.

A fire will be lit outside if the weather permits, otherwise in the teepees for the 1^st weekend, when we are working through our own grief issues. I ask that you agree to handing in or leaving behind all mobile phones, clocks, watches, radios, TV’s, newspapers etc – the outside world in-fact.

Just stay focused within the unfolding process. This is a realistic representation of what we’ll be asking our groups to do on the courses we run.

The 2^nd weekend while still having purpose and requiring openness and hard work and courage, will be more relaxed. Saturday night we will enjoy the band in the Pub and eat together there. We will have our focus move outwards towards skills that not only enhance our personal and work lives, but also benefit others.
