Testimonials

"As a participant I’ll say it was just wonderful - years of experience and skill were also reflected in humility in allowing others to share their own experience and knowledge. Liminal Time crystallises essential practices into a very accessible format that will really change people’s experiences of loss" 

Alexandra, participant

I thought you facilitated it beautifully. It was a calm and caring and thoughtful space (both physically and emotionally) to explore one of the most exposing and scary ideas - the death of someone you love. It was handled with real humanity and professionalism. I trusted that you knew what you're doing and that you would keep us all safe. Thank you.

Olivia, participant

"My friend recommended this workshop to me and I loved it. The atmosphere, the company, the experiences, the stories. I used the model with my beloved man and would definitely recommend this workshop to others."

Sylvie, participant

"I chose this workshop because of bad experiences with funerals. I really enjoyed hearing everybody else's experiences and it helped sharing my own. In fact it really helped me because I came away feeling that the dying process could be safe and natural - and that the last goodbyes can be too." 

Monika, participant

“We will all have to face the death of someone we love at some stage in our lives, and modern UK society is particularly poor at preparing us both practically and emotionally for the turmoil of this inevitable trauma.

The Power of Liminal Time workshop not only takes you expertly and gently by the hand and walks you through the before, during and after the death of a person you love, but it also gives you the space and opportunity to work through your existing grief, leaving you more at peace, prepared, and in control.

I recommend this workshop to everyone – it should be second nature, just like taking out a life insurance policy or making a will.”

Jo, Funeral Director, participant

“This course is fundamental to death literacy and relevant to all of us, no matter how experienced we are with death personally or professionally. I would highly recommend attending the workshop. As a professional in the bereavement field, I came away with lots of new information that will undoubtedly support my clients and also myself as a human who is inevitably touched by the deaths of people I love.”

Phillipa, participant

“It was incredibly valuable in lots of different ways, personally for me and professionally as a nurse. I already believed that it was healthy to talk about dying and the workshop and those who took part reinforced that. I thought the model was really useful to think about the logical steps and the different stages. I often think about how people get so much support and advice when having a baby or getting married, but so much less when facing death, and I often think about this when I have patients in hospital who aren't going to return to their own homes and have to go into a care home , I just don't think we acknowledge how enormous that is for someone. I felt like I came away with a lot of conversation starters that I could use in all sorts of situations that I might have found awkward before. It was great to be in a small group with people who were there for different reasons and the shared learning was a huge benefit. The workshop will continue to help me into the future.”

Rebecca, participant

“Personally, this course has really great benefits. The way it is run (thinking about a loved one and going through the process of them dying) was a great help. I always thought I had discussed the funerals of my parents with them enough to know what they wanted. This course has enabled me to see the future death in a different way, the journey to the end of life for them and other family members dealing with that is a journey that needs guidance just as much as a funeral service. I have since sat down with my Mum and we have re-looked at her funeral wishes. It is amazing how they have changed when looking at what she wants her legacy to be and what she wants others to take away from her funeral. It has shown how a funeral can help support the family left saying goodbye, and has had a profound impact on my Mum.”

Gary, Funeral Director, participant

"What this has done is given me such a framework for how to be grounded in this area. I always thought my family and I weren’t afraid to talk about death, but now I realise that our conversations were still very blurry. This has brought so much more definition."

"For someone who might feel scared, this workshop creates a space where that fear doesn’t have to take over. You can actually explore it, sit with it, and realise that it’s not as overwhelming as you thought."

Item "What struck me most was how practical this was. It wasn’t abstract or detached—it gave me real tools and knowledge that I can actually use. I wish this was something everyone had access to."description

"I know some people might hesitate about the cost, but honestly, you would save more than you spend just from what you learn here. The financial side of funerals is overwhelming, and this workshop shows you how to navigate it with clarity and confidence."

Anne, participant

"This isn’t something you just experience and walk away from—it stays with you. I feel like I’m taking home something that will shape how I think, how I speak to my family, how I live. That’s a gift."

"I didn’t expect to feel this open. There were moments today where I found myself speaking about things I’ve never really said out loud before. And yet, it felt completely natural. That’s not something you find very often."

"You know when you do a first-aid course and leave thinking, 'Wow, everyone should do this'? That’s exactly how I feel about today. It gives you something invaluable—something you don’t realise you need until you have it."
