Peter tells the story of his father’s death with a mix of Greek myth and Yorkshire grit. A film by Lorenz Gramann with music by Alexander Chapman Campbell and Andy Murray

“A wonderful, healing film which has helped me move forward in processing my grief…” Dr Robert Orange, Consultant Clinical Psychologist.

“An emotional ride. Carried back to my own memories. Peter creates a safe place to feel.” Frances Earnshaw, artist.

If you would like to bring a photograph or memento of a friend or relative who had died there will be a space set up in the Great Hall to display these and time afterwards for you to share your own stories of love, loss and grief.

Women’s History Month: Indigenous Women Leaders

Indigenous women have long been central to the spiritual and cultural life of their communities, yet their leadership has often been overlooked. From ancient traditions to contemporary movements, women are reclaiming spiritual authority and revitalising practices passed down through generations. In communities such as the Lakota and Haudenosaunee, women have historically held positions of spiritual leadership, and today, figures like Winona LaDuke and Tiana Ngata continue to lead efforts to preserve and strengthen Indigenous spiritual practices. As these women reclaim their rightful roles, they ensure that Indigenous spirituality remains a powerful force in today’s world.
