Stephen Jenkinson is the former leader of a palliative care counselling team in Toronto and now runs the Orphan Wisdom School, Ottawa. Griefwalker is a lyrical, poetic portrait of his work with dying people. Filmed over a twelve year period, Griefwalker shows Stephen in teaching sessions with doctors and nurses, in counselling sessions with dying people and their families, and in meditative and often frank exchanges with the film’s director while paddling a birch bark canoe about the origins and consequences of his ideas for how we live and die. A stirring meditation on what it takes for us to fall in love with our lives.

Stephen will be available for Q & A after the film. He is also leading a workshop weekend at Tredegar House, Newport Gwent 22^st - 23rd November, and Small World Theatre, Cardigan 29^th-30^th November
