Animal Carer Gatherings
At Rosie’s Hospice of Compassion, these gatherings are created for people who share a deep bond with animals. They are gentle spaces for reflection, connection, learning and remembrance — a place to be among others who understand both the love and the tenderness that can come with caring deeply.
Weekly Meditation Circle
Our weekly meditation circle offers a quiet, supportive space to pause, breathe and reconnect. Guided by Nicole, these sessions are open to those who are new to meditation as well as those with an established practice. Surrounded by the animal family of the hospice, we come together on zoom to nurture compassion, resilience and presence.
Animal Angels Tarot Circle with Tania Yorgey (House of Tarot)
Animal Angels Tarot Circle is a soulful gathering for those who feel guided by intuition, symbolism and their connection with animals. Led by Tania Yorgey, these special online gatherings offer insight, reflection and a chance to deepen into the wisdom that animals so often awaken in us.
Death Cafe - Animal Companions
Our Death Cafe for Animal Companions is a warm and respectful space to talk about grief, love, loss and end-of-life experiences with animals. These gatherings honour the significance of animal relationships and invite open-hearted conversation around topics that are not often given enough space in everyday life.
Meet the Chickens Picnics
From time to time, the hospice also opens its gates for Meet the Chickens gatherings, where visitors can spend gentle time with some of the residents and experience their unique personalities up close. These moments help create understanding, connection and advocacy — because chickens are their own best ambassadors.
A Gentle Meditation for Animal Carers
To care for an animal at the end of life is a deeply sacred experience - one that carries both love and tenderness.
This meditation is offered as a quiet companion for that journey, supporting you to stay present, grounded and connected to the bond you share. You may like to sit beside your animal while watching, or simply hold them in your heart.
