Making Space for Grief: A Gathering for Women

Making Space for Grief: A Gathering for Women

Facilitated by Chris McDonald, Licensed Therapist & Yoga Teacher

Grief doesn't follow a schedule — but it does need a home.

So much of how we move through loss happens alone: in the car, in the middle of the night, in the moments right after everyone else has gone back to their normal lives. We're rarely given real space to simply be with grief — not to fix it, explain it, or rush through it, but to let it exist in the company of others who understand.

Making Space for Grief is a three-part series offering exactly that: a gentle, embodied space for women carrying loss of all kinds — the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a life that didn't turn out as expected, or any of the quieter griefs women are so often expected to carry alone while still showing up for everyone else.

Each 90-minute gathering moves through four parts:

• Dharma talk — a short reflection grounding us in a theme related to grief, loss, and impermanence
• Grief yoga — gentle, accessible movement using breath, motion, and sound to help release pain held in the body and reconnect us back to love and empowerment
• Small group sharing — an invitation, never an obligation, to be witnessed in community
• Closing meditation — a soft landing, helping us return to the rest of our day without carrying the rawness of the room out the door

No two people grieve the same way, and this series isn't about arriving at any particular outcome. It's simply about making room.

This space is held for women, of all ages and all kinds of loss. No yoga experience necessary, and no obligation to share if you'd rather simply be present.

Grief is not a problem to solve — it is love with nowhere to go. You don't have to grieve alone. Some things can only be held together.
